That would be a dream. And Larry ellison really wants to own a professional team. Ellison would move the Niners back to SF and build his own stadium like kroenke did with SOFI

Thanks i needed a laugh.

F Ellison

Part of resetting a roster is reinvesting into it. They have literally not even tried to do that. Their signings have been a joke.

I agree on some level, but I think the right plan is you invest in free agency to supplement a team on the rise… at least in general. We hit on a couple of young defensive players and rebuild the core of our defense, our offense shows adjustment and growth from last year… including Purdy… and then we can add to the team in free agency in the next year or two.

I'd honestly make more moves than they have so far… or at least seriously explore them (like trading Aiyuk and CMC).

There has been no supplement via FA though lol. They don't even have enough bodies to field a full defensive line rotation. They have maybe 2 startable LBers. They haven't fixed a single hole that was a problem before they cut bait with players. They haven't signed a single startable player.

Jed isn't investing this off season. That much is clear. Lynch and half a dozen nfl insiders and beat writers have used the term "financial constraints" when talking about this team. Jed went out a just bought a freaking soccer team. His money went elsewhere this yr.

Why not. Its not a good idea. Maybe in baseball it works but look at David Tepper worth 20 billion dollars. Cant get a new stadium built, ended up getting 650M in public money for improvements to current stadium. Defaulted on a practice facility and ultimately abandoned it. Hated by fans & terrible football team.

Cause that a$$ is still trying to use public money.
what a tool. No wonder the panthers still suck.
Ellison has wanted a pro team really bad. When you have that kind of money, they tend to spend more freely. Look at Balmer with the clippers. Dude is worth 121 billion. He wanted to build a new stadium for his team and he bankrolled it himself. Dude is passionate about the clippers.

When I say supplement the team, I mean adding meaningful pieces. I do not disagree that we haven't added any of them in free agency this year and I think that's the right decision. I don't think you build a team, or half of a team, through free agency and I don't think bandaging a declining team with 1-2 year expensive and older players does anything for us immediately and certainly not down the road. Team's are generally going to overpay for any high quality younger player in FA and I don't see anyone out there that would significantly alter our short term outlook.

There has been when the team was on the rise, and knocking on the door. That ended last year, which is why they're not big players in FA. What don't you understand? The plan now is to build through the draft, then if they hit, the cycle starts again and they will supplement in FA in the coming years.

I agree you don't build the roster through FA. When I say supplement I mean add startable players and depth. Not necessarily overpay for avg to above avg talent yr after yr.

They haven't even attempted to add anything that I would categorize as a supplemental player besides Robinson and he might be suspended.

You can't just expect 11 unknown draft picks to take on meaningful snaps and be competitive. There's a reason why most yrs this team fills holes with at least supplemental talent prior to the draft.

This wasnt a strong FA market. Most of the players available werte older guys that weren' necessarily a good fit for the 49ers. The biggest names were WRs and they were either older or prima donnas. No thanks. Kupp os now available since the Rams have released him but I don't kniw what kind of money he wants. He's not a difference maker but he has experience that he night be able to pass along to Pearsall.

It's a stretch to think the Yorks are in "financial constraints".

It's pretty easy to borrow against the net equity of this team if they need money. Property owners do it constantly.
I'm sure they have a ton of equity in the "49ers"…
Think about it, even if you bought the 49ers for $1 billion dollars, (which I know the Yorks didn't pay that amount) & the team is now worth $4 billion dollars, there is plenty of money to pull.
I think the Yorks are upset that a lot of money was spent without the desired results that they wanted, like a Super Bowl win, and like any good business person they're gonna reel in some spending on bad contracts and get things back under control..
It's a pretty common sense strategy.
Are the soccer teams bleeding money that they own? How about some of the other entities they own? I would doubt they bought another soccer team if their current soccer team bleeds..
They have plenty of assets to pull money.

Everyone wants rtesults when they pay out big mney for players. When they don't deliver there will be repercussions.

Pretty much. If we had one a chip the Yorks' wallet would be wide open in regards to the niners.
