Is the Honeymoon Between Baalke and Kelly Already Over?

Apr 20, 2016 at 8:45 AM--


When 49ers general manager Trent Baalke brought Chip Kelly aboard as head coach, he insisted he and Kelly were on the same page.Though Baalke and former head coach Jim Harbaugh had a falling out, Baalke tried to assure reporters that he and Kelly would be able to work well together. Even when it comes to the evaluation of draft prospects, Baalke insisted he and Kelly were "looking for the same thing."But recently, some are speculating that Baalke and Kelly already are having trouble. If true, it could be bad news for a 49ers organization that has seemed dysfunctional the past two-plus years.Brian Baldinger, a former player who now works for the NFL Network and has ties to the Eagles, reported recently that, "I already hear there's problems in the building between Chip and Baalke."This week, Matt Barrows, who covers the 49ers for the Sacramento Bee, noted that "you have to first consider the source" when evaluating that report, noting that Baldinger – who does preseason Eagles game – works for a team that has been talking about Kelly's problems in Philadelphia for quite a while now.

Is new 49ers backup QB Josh Dobbs an upgrade over Sam Darnold?

By Marc Adams
Mar 24

In 2022, the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback spot. They had second-year player, and first-year starter Trey Lance, who they had traded the world away to draft. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, the team's starting QB from late 2017-2021, as Lance's backup. And they had a seventh-round draft pick in Brock Purdy, though he would be unlikely to play. Or so we thought. After Lance and Garoppolo went down, Purdy surprised everyone by keeping the ship afloat and leading the 49ers back to the NFC Championship Game. But after an injury to the UCL in his throwing arm, Purdy's 2023 season was in jeopardy. Which quarterbacks the 49ers would take to training camp was now even more important.

Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
