So far, with the moves we have made, this feels and smells like a reload. Not, say, a 2 year mini-rebuild. Me thinks we are taking our shot at the Chip this year. And I know some of you are going to say, well, of course, we are. But with as many FA's as we have it might have been tempting to say, welp, f**k it, let's rebuild and try for next year. So far we have Kept: Juice, JV, Moseley, T WIll 6 yearrrrrrrssssssss, one hundred thirrrrrrrrrtyyyyyyy-------eiggggggghhhhhhttttttttttt milllllllllllllllllllllllllionnnnnnn dollllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssss; Mack on his way; DOCTOR Jones is staying, so is DJ; "Pop" Tartt stays. Signed: Samson Ebukam--for pass rush; Trent Sherfield to catch footballs; some safety We are shedding Richburg, likely Dee Ford (restructure), Bourne identity is GONE! Spoon is headed to the Thunderchickens. Goodwin gone, again! Soly gone!

You do know it wasn't just about how much they both got paid right ?

If they could have got a first round pick for Armstead, Buckner would still be here

Actually the only reason why we didn't sign Buck had more to do with the contract being cap-friendly. From my conversations with AB it seems like the only reason why we traded Buck was for that reason. That being said I still struggle with the decision but that doesn't mean it was a terrible one. Whether or not we get a 1st round pick is immaterial; we could trade any of our best players for a first rounder and there would be a line of teams willing to take that bet (Kittle, Warner, Bosa, now Trent).

I think it was more to do with the fact Buck was against a team friendly deal, even Trent did one, I think it'd be tough to have DeFo, Kittle, Warner, Bosa, Trent, plus Deebo, Ayiuk and Dre on good sized deals. I don't see Kinlaw getting what DeFo & Jones got, I think Kinlaw will likely end up in the $15M a yr range, which if he ends up anywhere near Buck, I'll be fully over the DeFo trade, and I hated the trade at the time, I miss Buck, but I do like Javon.

Just realized Tartt is a FA. Wonder if they bring him back or are cool with Moore?

Yeah, I think with the cap going down, and as usual the Safety market is always cold, he won't get a big deal, likely a 1yr prove it deal, but honestly I'd stick with Ward & Moore for 2021, then in 2022, move on from Ward, hope Moore steps up, draft someone to play with Moore as a much younger, better Safety duo.

I heard Denver and the WFT are interested in him.

I wouldn't bother. Start rebuilding the secondary. Not a single guy that could produce some turnovers, even with a fantastic pass rush in 2019.

I'd love to draft a Safety in the mid rounds this draft, or see Jared Mayden step up, ultra versatile, can play both Safety spots, and CB. Ward's here for 2021 and that's it IMO. I love Moore, hope he can step up even more, when he was given PT he's shined, and played well.
