Let me guess, its the substation's fault and the 9ers should move

Looks like the Giants are trading for JJ McCarthy

For a fifth round pick. 49ers aren't trading jones for peanuts like that.

Drafted #8 overall -2021 Jaycee Horn "may miss' the remainder of the season. In his first 3 years (51games)he's missed 25 due to injury. Is that worth a big 2nd contract? Under those circumstances you exercise that 5th year option and hold him to it. Never mind how he reacts. So the 4th year comes along and he starts 15 games. I can only assume that he was held out in the final 2 games to prevent ANOTHER injury. So he signs that big ($100 million) contract at the start of his 5th year, starts 16 games(not 17) and makes that contract look like the right move for the future. What happens yesterday? He tears a quad.

Hindsight is 20-20 and the DeForrest Buckner decision was a mistake. On the other end you have Horn, Aiyuk, and what looks like the same with Nick Bosa. These big deals with big injuries-you lose the player AND big money. The smart thing to do is very simple: It's tag and trade. Allow the player to find the taker and discuss trade compensation. Compensation may not be equal under those circumstances but the amount of dead money gambled is not worth it. It also keeps the anger and hurt feelings down. With all these injuries now more players are going to feel entitled to that big extension. One other solution is more of those Dre Greenlaw extensions in his 3rd year where the compensation is not top dollar but enough to take care of one for life.

Devon Achane-here we go again. He did well in his 1st 3 years and DESERVED to get paid. The team's going nowhere so that will soften the blow. $64 million, 27 guaranteed and an 'out' after 2 years. The only negative is depending on a RB when the team is constantly behind due to a bad defense.

Skill players seem to get the big money DESPITE injuries. Think OT/CB/Pass Rushers. It's on the owners. They need to be protected from themselves. That's why there's a salary cap. The cap doesn't apply to individual players. It applies to the lower and middle of the road players.

Just saw the video of Burns' ACL injury yesterday...he was just trying to go around the edge after the QB and was blocked by a lineman. Nothing that looked out of the ordinary in trying to get after the QB. Perhaps his foot got stuck in the crappy MetLife artificial turf when he was being blocked?

Unbelievable all these injuries to big-time impact players just three games into the season. Hate to see it.

McCarthy to the G-strings ?

should be a win in our column…

We will win the game but MetLife field will claim it's victims on our team regardless

So, why would the Giants trade for McCarthy over Mac Jones? I can think of a few reasons. First, McCarthy is a lot cheaper. A fifth round pick? Plus an affordable salary (still on his rookie deal)? Even if McCarthy doesn't work out, the deal did not cost the Giants much. You can lose a fifth round pick and survive. Plus, McCarthy fits under that salary cap. He's not looking for a long-term deal. He only wants a chance to compete again and prove his worth.

Mac, on the other hand, is looking for a team that will offer him a home beyond one season. He wants a guaranteed deal. Plus, he wants to be paid. I can't blame Mac. I would want the same thing. But, to acquire him, a team will be forced to do two things: 1. Cough up a high pick. 2. Commit to Mac with a three year deal.

Another reason is Harbaugh connection.

Tough news for Achane

I think Kyle and Lynch realize that they need a bonified backup just in case Brock goes down. Especially with our team and our luck. It would take an astronomical offer for them to trade Mac IMO.
