Can someone explain to me the benefit of cutting Floyd? Final year of his deal. Barely any cap savings

Cap doesn't matter. It's about cash savings.

Also he sucked against the run and despite the modest sack numbers he did not consistently impact the passer in a meaningful way.

Falcons wasted no time in signing Floyd.
…why didn't we just trade him?
Dam that was fast.

Add them to a long list of NFC teams better than SF. 😂😂

They tried too
He probably was too healthy and played too many games. We don't do that here.

Again, anyone thinking the 49ers would run it back with the #29 run defense (#26 overall) was fooling themselves. SF will look for bigger bodies on the edge than the 240-pound Leonard Floyd.

Was Floyd ment to be a full time starter or a specialist?

It doesn't matter.

Teams can still run on passing downs and Floyd was brutal vs the run. Like one of the worst linemen out of 220 or so qualified linemen.

That leaves us Bosa, Sam O, Beal and Gross man
Which is cool, but those edge guys need DTs to help also

https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/sf/san-francisco-49ers Yup we need help

Beal is a below replacement level edge. They have no one besides Bosa, Gross-Matos who himself may be released, and Sam O. Yikes. And its not like the edge class is spectacular.

There's also Drake Jacksons corpse but not sure what condition it's in right now
