This past week, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, making his debut on Sunday in a 17-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He told Pro Football Talk that he picked the Eagles because he sought another championship.
Suh had another option, though, admitting that he could have signed with the San Francisco 49ers.
"Suh said that he was attracted to the 49ers because of the presence of defensive line coach Kris Kocurek on the coaching staff. Kocurek first arrived as a coach with the Lions during Suh's rookie year, and Kocurek was there for Suh's entire time in Detroit."
This past week, general manager John Lynch confirmed the 49ers had expressed some interest in the defensive lineman. A deal just never came together.
"We talked to him last year, and we talked to him earlier this year, and it just never came to fruition," Lynch said on KNBR. "I think, ultimately, it sounds like he really sought the Eagles as a place he wanted to be, and you can't get them all. He's a good football player who's on the backend of his career, but I'm sure he'll help them, and a good pickup for the Eagles."
The 49ers' performance this season has led to significant emotional reactions, particularly among fans and some media personalities who are suggesting that the team should part ways with Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy.

What a pathetic performance by the San Francisco 49ers. The offense was horrid and the defense, even though they played well for three quarters, couldn't hold off the Los Angeles Rams in the final quarter, as the 49ers lost 12-6. The loss didn't mathematically eliminate the...
