I think I have finally accepted that Brendel may be our starting center. I made a similar post in the OL thread. According to Kyle Shanahan, he's very comfortable with the center room we have now. I really wanted JC Tretter but I guess that might not be happening. Trent Williams also said he is so athletic and twitchy that because of his elite athleticism we might not have much of a drop off from Mack last year. Chris Forrester also likes him a lot. Jake Brendel's relative athletic score of 9.94 was off the charts. Since measuring this statistic, he is top 10 all-time for any center ever drafted. Since 2006 only 2 centers have a higher RAS score: Chris Chester 10 and Garrett Bradbury 9.96. Brendel scored 9.94 (tied with Rob Hunt) Of course playing center is more mental than physical but I guess Brendel has been snapping to Trey Lance for a while now and had been in our system for a few years so he might not be that much of a drop off maybe even an upgrade athletically. I'm just keeping my hopes up and I think you all should too.

Ethan Pocic, my choice for FA center, resigned with Cleveland - 3 yrs, $18M. McGovern got 3 years, $23M. There are two others that have not signed, Bradberry and Bozeman, that should get close to, if not more than that.

That may set Brendel at about $4-6M.

Unless they have their sights set on someone else, I really hope they just pay him. I realize that we do have a salary cap, but prioritizing a starting Center is not an unnecessary splurge.

That is the range I posted earlier for Brendel.

He's back. 3 years 15.75 for Bradbury, so we will see what Brendel costed.

The #49ers are bringing back C Jake Brendel on a 4-year deal, source said. The #Jets made a push, but he's back in SF.
