Not injury-related purely cap. He's only 31, would sign him in a heartbeat.

Aaron Wilson reported he was released with a Non Football Injury designation, I wonder what the issue is, I loved DeCastro coming out of Stanford, but I'd go with what we have, I like the 8 OL who are my locks(Mack, Brunskill, Trent, McGlinchey, Moore, Laken, Banks & McKivitz).

He's having surgery again on his ankle…I think he's gonna retire

Just as long as Seattle Ariz Rams or the Chiefs don't get him I'm happy whether he retires or not

Might be a great pickup if we give him the Jason Verrett treatment. Sign him to a two year deal, expecting him to sit out most of 2021 (but there if we need him) and then have him 100% in 2022

………….,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and as usual, we will wait, over-wait, then,,,,,, sign another Safety. Meanwhile another NFC West opponent will sign him. Then Kyle talks about injuries and tells why we were never serious about signing him. Then he road grades our DT's and we wonder why we lost the game..

Umm ok, is this satire? Or serious? Dude likely won't play in 2021, he may retire, I just don't get the want for big name players available with injury issues, yet everyone b***hes when Dee was hurt or Richburg. I can't, I don't understand it.

As I said above, I don't get people clamoring to get guys like this, big named guys, but have injury issues, but after we get someone like Dee, Kwon or Richburg, and they get hurt the same people get pissed, they get pissed that they didn't cut Dee, but want to sign DeCastro? SMDH

Because most people on here don't follow the rest of the league and talk from a place of ignorance to criticize Lynch/Shanny.

Yet they'll tell you they do, but they don't, they just remember the player from when they wanted the 49ers to draft him. If he was healthy, no issues, he'd be a great pickup, heck we probably wouldn't get him, he'd command a good amount, doubt he plays in 2021 anyway, would be a waste of cap room to sign him IMO.

I remember Maddog was desperate for the 49ers to trade up for this guy. But it's fine, we got AJ Jenkins instead.
