I'd honestly be a bit mad if we traded two 1sts for Max when we could have potentially had Garrett for a little more

From Shefter, Pellisaro and others, Cleveland was not going to make the deal if Verse was not included. Since the 49ers don't have a healthy, 25 yo Pro Bowl pass rusher to offer, there was no chance we could have made a deal for Garrett.

A first, second, third, and a pro bowl player for Garrett. Yeah IDK...

I don't think I'd give up like Kittle or CMC or even probably Lenoir and all those picks for one guy.

Verse is entering his prime and likely on his way to annually hitting double digit sacks.

Welp there goes the ShannaLynch era. 9-8 or 8-9 depending on injuries. Loosing 3 out of 4 against LA/Seattle leaves no margin for error. Only going to be able to loose 4 games, outside those two teams on the rest of their schedule to maybe sneak a wildcard. They waited 3 years too long to blow it up.

Les Snead is showing up John Lynch as a GM. I mean, we have all kinds of cap excuses as to why we can't make big signings, yet the Rams continue to make big signings year after year. People keep saying that they will have to "pay the piper". Well Les Snead must be bribing the piper to not collect his depth.

Yup, and their big price was one 5-12 season. Oh, the horror! It's not like we've avoided terrible seasons by playing money ball.

That's what having Matt Stafford grants you. We havent' seen Sean McVay have any success without a #1 overall pick playing QB for him. Obviously great if you have that. We'll see how long Matt can play at a high level and whether Simpson can play anywhere close to that.

What does it matter? Les Snead will just pull off another trade to get a top QB like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Josh Allen until Simpson is ready.

Part of our issue is we and the rest of the league use the salary cap as a legitimate reason/excuse to taper current and future short term spending. Long ago we were in 'cap hell ' But the revenue game has evolved. Snead is fearless about future cap and maybe because his owner is one of the NFL shot callers.

To put things in perspective
2026 cap $301M
2021 cap $182M
2016 cap $$155M

Snead doesn't fear free agency or long term spending on studs. He undervalues draft picks and would rather spend on known commodities, proven players. Which aligns with "f them draft picks" saying.

He didn't just sign Garrett, but also traded a 2026 1st for Trent McDuffie and gave him an immediate $124M extension.

At least we have the most cap space. #1 in responsible spending.

So basically participation trophy champs?

He's being sarcastic. I'm not down for moving any 1st rd picks in 2027. Epic draft class.

not sure who folks realistically think SF should go after? Myles was never coming here based off that new contract. LA has future big time deals to payout, while SF has those contracts going right now.

That's my point. LA doesn't worry about future big time deals to pay out. The salary cap doubled in 10 years, and increased more than 50% in the past years. The Rams had $248M in dead cap hits over the past 5 years. They see it like any business expense a loss to write off but it's the teams money not the fans and is the team really going broke? They recently won a SB and now they're primed in the short term.

Lynch catching way too much heat for Garrett going to the Rams. I still blame Kaepernick for week 17 in 2016 vs the f**king Rams. Played the long game well Rams very well.

Lynch still would've taken Thomas. The bond was sealed from footsies in class together

What I'm saying is they couldn't afford to keep the team the same, they got 3+ massive contracts coming up. SF just has a season of massive DM as well. Like you said it's a business. We will see if it pays off or not for LA. Myles is a monster and any team would love to have him. IMO it's not like they didn't already have a great DL though.
