2026 Free Agency

This! I wouldn't pay over 20ish per year for a WR anymore. Unless of course our guy was a Chase or JJ.

The one thing I didn't want us to do this offseason was overpay for Pierce.

Good morning you football freaks!
Anyone use text alerts for Free Agency? I'm taking the day off and I'll probably refresh Twitter every few minutes
Lets hope for the best!

Yeah unless they're elite I feel like you can replace them. MAYBE Pierce could turn into that given the measurables and lack of a true QB throwing him the ball for a couple yrs. He would be good here.

we do need legit vets at the WR position though. I would prefer Doubs at half that price.

If we are gonna sign either Doubs or Pierce, I think we need to accept $30M per but wait until the details of the deal surface.

I mean not a chance Doubs is getting that amount of cash….yes the APY is just fluff for the most part. All about the GTD $$

s**t

I can't see SF paying that either. Gonna be a Titan

John Franklin-Myers is expected to get $20M per year in free agency and the 49ers are a team to watch

Josina Anderson reports the market for free agent Alec Pierce "may be too much" for the Patriots, but that the 49ers "might pay it."

Field-stretcher Pierce would be a strong fit in the Patriots' offense, but they might believe he's not enough of an upgrade on their current Kayshon Boutte/Mack Hollins tandem to justify more than $30 million per season. The 49ers, meanwhile, could be tired of waiting for former first-rounder Ricky Pearsall to stay healthy. Pierce is predictably generating wide interest after the Colts surprisingly let him reach the open market, but he is still most likely to end up with a cap-flushed, receiver-desperate team like the Titans.

That would be a difference maker. Biggest problem with this would be, purdy throws most of his interceptions when he throws deep balls. He's more of a timing and intermediate route passer.

That would be beyond stupid after just blowing $30M a year on Aiyuk. No WR aside from maybe the top 3 are worth that kind of money; especially in our run first offense. At least for me; I'd never break that kind of bank on a WR. Can find good ones in every draft

Thats why I seriously doubt they'd do it.

We gotta see the terms before getting worked out. IMO

Pearce is a damn good WR and didn't he lead the league in YAC last season? I'm good with whatever the 9ers do, at least Pearce isn't a troll like Aiyuk.

I'm not in favor of giving big money to any WR unless they're truly elite and even then I'd be hesitant,I would've never given the money to Aiyuk based on talent alone can we honestly say that Pearce is better than or even equal to Aiyuk?

If I'm spending that kind of money on a FA theres multiple positions I'd spend it on first.

They have different skillsets

I mean one thing is Pierce is 6-3 215 pounds and is probably the best deep threat right now in the league. Also he is one of the better WR in contested catches.

Its really hard to evaluate him though i mean he has had absolute garbage at QB- his best QB by a mile is Daniel Jones and grandpa Rivers. I think the NFL (and 49ers) see thata huge upgrade in QB like Purdy can bump up his overall production. Last year he did show a lot of growth running multiple different routes but he was more of just a speed guy before.

I do think its an overpay but i dont think its a bad contract you are defenetely getting more speed which i think is important to the team

Dumpster diving at its best, probably the outcome tho, I'm still hoping for a Jalen Carter type move, but doubt it with glynch
