John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4505

4ML · 2017-01-29T17:29:58-08:00

Lucked into Shanahan but Lynch as a GM? Wtf?? So many qualified GMs 49ers interviewed...and in the end - they decided to hire a guy who has ZERO experience working in a NFL Front Office. He has ZERO experience as a scout at any level. I understand, so many potential GM candidates rejected 49ers. But, to hire a guy who has never held a position that is in no way related to a day-2-day job profile of a GM is unbelievable. I'm sure Lynch is a smart guy...he was a smart player...but that has NOTHING to do with being a GM. Why take the risk at this time? --------------- edit: After having some time to digest this news...wish him all the best and I hope he proves ppl wrong. Still don't understand why we needed to take such a risk but it is what it is now. I do have to say - his first presser made a positive impression.

I'd be calling Minnesota right now asking about JJ but they might not trade with us. JJ can replace the 3rd downs Evans was giving us and hopefully Robinson and Kirk are ready to go next week.

Cooks, Watkins and Cowing shouldn't see the field.

Minnesota has zero reason to trade us anyone.

Vita Vea is needed! Clogger with push up the middle.

Someone smarter than me said that Vea fits the 1T whereas Buckner, Gracen Halton and Osa O are more of 3Ts.

I'd say:

1. Vea
2. Khalil Mack

and if there's a fit in scheme the Colt player:

Quenton Nelson

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this start the focus now shifts to matching with teams that will run the ball.

Seattle will get their back back
Rams aren't done
Vikings
Packers
Bears

AFC

Chefs
Ravens
Patriots
Bills

Enough with this Vea stuff. Bucs aren't trading him! They just resigned him and will take a big capt hit if they do.
I disagree with your crystal ball.

Everyone has a price. A sensible price. Tampa is going nowhere fast and needs to change direction because they need players and a rebuild. $19.6 dead cap is anything but crippling for only 2027 for any team.

The 49ers window is now and they need that type of player!

It's a 52 min dead cap hit. I don't need a crystal ball to know there's no chance the Bucs do that outside of a insane offer.
POST-6/1 TRADE

2026 Dead Cap: $8,534,460
2027 Dead Cap: $19,644,000
2026 Savings: $2,300,000
------------------------------------------------------

The $52m would be if they cut him, if they trade him they take on what you said as the only other GTD money he has part of the $52m is his base salaries which would go to whoever traded for him, it'd only cost $650k this yr if done at deadline for any team acquiring him but it's $24m in 2027 which is a lot but it's possible if they end up extending him in the offseason but they also are gonna need to extend Puni and Green and bring back Dre, Juice and Deebo

Maybe call TB for Chris Godwin? I dunno. We need to do something quick with Evans out

That would be a solid addition but personally I doubt they trade him.

Any good receivers we could potentially trade for? Hopefully they can pull of a trade for someone, because it could be a little challenging to consistently put up points without Mike Evans

Jennings makes more sense as he can play right away.

Unfortunately the Vikings have zero reason to help out their current top competition for the conference playoff rankings.
