Jed is setter of standards. he is CEO of 49ers Enterprises

And?

Did the last 5 years happen because the 49ers were
only meeting the cap minimum? No.
IMO, longtime fans have seen lean years before and I think we are about to see them again. But hey, I am a big soccer fan too so I am extremely curious to see what kind of renovations the Yorks do to Leeds home field and what they are able to do in the premier league.

If even a powerhouse franchise like Manchester United can slip into the lower half of the premier league it will be extremely interesting to see how the Yorks intend to compete and stay in the premier league.

You're panicking over a lot of assumptions. Handing out big contracts to a ton of vets is not a good longterm solution. One has to be more selective about large veteran contracts, especially 3rd or 4th contracts. They handed out a bunch recently, and now its time to churn over the roster for younger talent. No guarantees they find the right young talent, but it needs to be done. If they draft stars they'll pay them plenty when their contracts come up for extensions.

This isn't about being cheap. It's about getting a better roster for many years to come. If anything they waited a year too long.

I don't panic over sports. I think the next couple
of years are gonna be very interesting to watch unfold. It's entertaining.

Leeds United gets promoted to the premier league!

thing's are getting real. Now everyone finds out just how serious the Yorks are about STAYING in the premier league. Gotta spend a ton of money to stay in the premier league . Gotta spend tons more than that to be competitive with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester city,

you certainly have a lot of theories over there

That article on the front page re D. Adams free agency dealing with the 49ers F/O isn't a very good look for free agents looking to find a new home in the future.

I wonder if this is what they are saying to Kittle and Purdy? Wholesale not retail?

Davante Adams is an aging WR, who while still very talented wouldn't be brought in here as the top guy so not sure why he was shocked or upset by that.

I'm not even sure if that exact quote was from the 49ers or the agent phrasing it like that. If it came from us...we may want to rethink how we communicate that we can't pay big money at the time.

Feels like a "we'd love to have him but the cap is tight so we can only pay him x right now unfortunately" would maybe be better messaging than what was described.

Davante Adams is right - this is a wholesale franchise. Soak it in

Well all signs point to the truth being on the side of Adam's and his agent. We aren't spending, we are leading in dead money, and we didn't sign any significant FA's.

I don't think our F/O understands the long term ramifications of this behavior. However, arrogance may not matter as much with this generation since money is the soul focus for these athletes and maybe this is what we are banking on.

My question is why even consider an aging WR if the focus is on getting younger (cheaper) players?

Jed pays Paraag to manage the money, contracts, etc. It's all up to Paraag and how he operates.

As such any ire should be directed to Paraag because these failed processes with some exceptions mostly fall on his shoulders.

i love that quote from d adams. forget that guy. he's a loser. we are shopping the bargain bin on him and he can take it or walk cuz that's all he's worth. now he's the rams problem. i bet he totally sucks.

Literally no one cares what a franchise failed to offer another player.

[tweet =
anyone else find it ironic he's admitting they drafted a guy using a measurable you cannot technically measure? 😝
