Today, Marathe went to 2 of our team captains, asked them to restructure their contracts for the benefit of the team, to which they agreed, and now we are magically 9 mil under the cap. We have several other team leaders we can ask to do similar. All it takes is for the contract to be backloaded for 2023 and beyond and we can afford just about anyone. Jimmy is only truly delaying us from extending Deebo and Bosa which we have plenty of time for.

You guys do realize that the longer we keep him and the longer QB needy teams go without a QB the more desperate they are right? This is beneficial to us. If we don't move him after Watson picks a team to the other losers who obviously want a Vet QB then on draft day someone will offer 2022/2023 picks for him
The downside is that we are missing out on free agents that could help us win a SB
But how many times have we actually went into FA guns blazing? That's not our style. We always sign the bargain bin FAs anyway, we draft well and extend our own people most of the time
Bingo! The FO had all YEAR and off season to secure a deal and prepare for this scenario. Jimmy isn't holding anything back. LOL
This conservative off season IS what the FO does...every year.
Once they did a great job of building up a top 5-10 roster, they've either run in back or lost in the off season to their competition. This is what they do. Their philosophy.
