Other the AP, on this list, I see one or two that can help right away... wouldn't mind the TE (Mo Cox) next to Kittle or Tonges

we'll see... can't just expect Tonges to pop off and be much improved (maybe he will). Farrell might be (should) be gone. Maybe Willis improves. We can hope the staff can develop / produce a solid TE off the bat. There's a lot of ifs behind an injured Kittle and non blocking Tonges tho

I'm not gonna tell you about zero chances Darnold does this or that or what Seattle has to do. Fact of the matter and the main point again to this argument is that Seattle has a ton of cap space and draft capital. As the 9ers get better so can Seattle and LA. They've drafted good (Seattle/LA) that has them set up to win for this season. Again keyword there is THIS season.
And you think the 9ers were worried to sign Brock Purdy cause they didn't sign anyone this past season? I thought we all agreed that they did that to get rid of $100+ mil in dead cap. Brock Purdy signed in time to have almost a full offseason with the team. Now if you asked me if they were worried about signing Aiyuk, sure. But they were ready to trade him, so I doubt they worried too much about him.
Sure the Rams are one injury away from having a disastrous season. Just like the 9ers are one Trent Williams injury from having a struggling offense. Even Brock Purdy is as injury prone as Stafford, he's coming off of a significant injury too. So crossing my fingers Purdy also stays healthy, it doesn't seem like the 9ers are really keeping Mac Jones around.
Seattle has half a dozen starters and high end rotational players that are gonna be FAs, they have multiple players that aren't gonna step on the field without massive deals…and that's not even discussing what Sam will be due in a yr. SO yes you absolutely have to apply all that context when discussing their cap space…Im not even sure why you're trying to argue with me about this. There is always a SB tax.
They most certainly do not have a ton of draft capital. They currently have 4 picks.
again I think you confuse the difference between cap space and REAL $$ that they have to hand out the moment a deal is signed as well. There's a difference and it matters. It was part of the reason the Raiders couldn't resign Mack, they simply didn't have the real cash to give him reportedly.
The Rams are yr to yr right now. Stafford will command a high cap hit each yr. They have muliple young players on that DL that at looking to get paid. They have a horrible DB room. Puka wants a bag. Adams in the last yr of his deal etc etc. every team has work to do.
SF doesn't have any high end extensions that they have to worry about for the first time in years. They cleaned out their books this past off season, it was a "rebuilding year" from that aspect and they still went to the playoffs. Now they have $ and a bunch of young players that got important snaps the past two years. Time to make some moves.

Thing is with the Seahawks is that they drafted well and their core players remain intact. Again $63 million is enough to get better, they really only need to re-sign three players in Boye Mafe, Kenneth Walker and Coby, Rasheed Sheed. Rid Woolen is replaceable and could even upgrade from him by signing someone like Jamel Dean or Nahshon Wright. Also Sam Darnold will get his contract, whether it's guaranteed money or a contract with a bunch incentives in it, Seattle will protect its te first. Waiting around for them to go into cap hell or be cap strapped, only puts the joke on us. Brock Purdy got a fat contract, 49ers cap seems to be fine and we're in line to add and upgrade in free agency.
True I forgot Seattle traded away some of their picks. But they are capable of trading them away without hurting their offseason. Unlike the 9ers who need to actually focus their picks on the draft. It would be pretty damaging if Seattle went all in this season and traded for Justin Jefferson!!!
As for the Rams, sure Stafford can retire at any moment. But their GM isn't afraid to go out and find a replacement he can play and plug just like he did with Stafford. They got the cap space and picks to do so. They don't really have anyone important to re-sign this season, maybe Kam Curl.
To sit here and act like Seattle and the Rams will be in trouble if they do this or that is ignorance. They will get better this offseason, so will the 9ers. But the problem the 9ers have is that time is running out on them, their core players are getting older and haven't drafted well over the years and you can say haven't added any free agents worth keeping around. If anything 9ers are on a year to year basis too with Trent Williams and CMC. The WR room is also a mess, along with a thin D-line. 9ers got more work to do than both Seattle and LA.

My guy, they got JSN asking for $40M per right now. That's just one guy. They have a dozen FA (or guys on the last yr of their deals) that start or are very good rotational players.
It's what happens after a SB win (or loss) you have to give people raises, you will lose talent that you've been developing to get to that point.
it has nothing to do with going into cap hell, it's pointing out that their roster isn't gonna be the same next yr (like a lot of teams). They will ABSOLUTELY have to pay out a lot of that cap space for their current players this off season and rolled over into next yr. It's a fact and I have no clue why you're trying to argue with me about it.
acting like there's just another Stafford to be had is silly. You got a 3rd of the league looking for a QB. It's not that simple. They have picks THIS yr in a very underwhelming draft. We know Stafford is playing this yr, you think they're gonna draft a QB now? There is nothing in this draft.
It's not about who's a FA right now either, they have multiple DL that are in the last yr of their deal and more than likely aren't stepping onto the field without an extension. Like most good players. We've seen it here yr after yr. I'm guessing they spend picks on DBs because they have nothing currently. Puka is gonna be making $40M per and Adams is gonna want a new deal or will be leaving after this season. They lost their starting RT, they have to pay their LG top money etc.
where have I ever said they're in trouble? Again I'm pointing out all that "cap space" is gonna be accounted for with their own players for the most part. Much like when SF consistently had high end contract negotiations the past couple yrs NOW Seattle and the Rams (to a point) are going down that road.
FOR ONCE we don't have that (for better or worse) we don't have some massive in house contract extension to worry about (this yr or next). We can go out and make moves. We spent last off season cleaning the books and giving our QB a bag.
I feel like you're completely misinterpreting what I'm saying

Seattle has work to do but they will re-sign the guys they need to and they have a GM who has nailed his last few drafts.
They still have a far superior team than we do.

Disagree when healthy, we beat them last year as proof, good offseason changes things, it did for them, they got Demarcus Lawerence , cooper kupp, Rasheed shaheed, Sam darnold, earnest jones, were all free agents they got last year except shaheed as trade, but all were pick ups that put them over the top, stuff we can do the same with a good offseason.

Absolutely all that!!
I know they had solid drafts, but there's no denying all those offseason moves significantly moved the needle big time
FO needs to bring in the kind of depth that won't skip a beat when they have to take over for an injured player(s)... when healthy, Niners can compete and keep the game close with any team out there. Hopefully, they (at least) sign a DE/Edge, WR, FS in free agency

My point exactly. They made moves to an already strong roster and their roster is far superior to ours. Like I said, it's not even closer
Warner and Bosa wouldn't have helped the offense get absolutely owned by Seattle's D to the tune of 54-9 in the last two games we played them.
You guy are totally delusional if you think we can stack up head to head with Seattle even with a completely healthy roster.
