The fact that Bourne went before JJ did speaks volumes...

Bourne KNOWS his market as a 10 year vet. Jennings did not. If he did, he would've taken the 12- 15 million (I'm assuming) that the 49ers offered. Would be great to get him back on number 3 receiver money. We could potentially push the receiver need down the board if we did

Bourne isn't that expensive and was very productive when Mac was the QB, almost 500 yards in half a seasons work he also took a very team friendly deal.

I thought whoever went after Mac Jones, would make a run at Bourne as they had chemistry.

I think it's fair that Jennings is holding out for some more cash, when Jalen Nailor is getting 15mil per he's definitely worth 20mil, I just don't know who gives him that. I thought Titans might go for him as a big slot, but now they've signed Wandale.

I would take him back around the 12-15mil mark, can go back to big slot for us. Evans at X, Pearsall at Z. Jennings slots in when either of the others get hurt!

I hope his pride won't prevent him from returning to 49ers at market rate.

I don't want him back on the 49ers unless it is at our price. Absolutely do not overpay to bring him back in the fold

That still might happen. I would not rule it out.

I don't think so. Something happened with him and Kyle and it's broken. I just remember one of the games he and Kyle on sideline. Kyle chasing him down. It was a bit explosive. I do not think he's back even if the price is down.

I remember that. Don't know how significant that is. But it always could be an "issue."

Wasn't he originally our big slot? Seems perfect with Evans & RP on the outside.

This ideally. But he needs to realize that his production is Kyle Shanahan inflated, like soooo many others. So he's probably even overpaid at $15m

Could you imagine having to deal with Evans, JJ, and Kittle with CMC coming out of the back field?

Pearsall, Cowing, ect.

Plus rookie wr(s)?

True, but teams would now have to do that with only their front 4, sending extras would require leaving these guys in 1on1 coverage.

Kyle's scheme would eat that up, quick game would be a beast with this line up.

JJ could still see a reaasonble amount of action. Evans has a history of being banged up enough that he misses game time here and there. Not major injuries but little things that keep him out for parts of games. As for Pearsall and Cowing both need to shw they can stay healthy . Pearsall has shown some ability but we've seen nothing from Cowing.
