🤞 hope he can do something for the next few weeks… probably just edge rush in passing situations… very concerned about the run defense though.

Not that I'm mad that Matt Judon was added, I'm not. But it begs the question, why not Leonard Floyd? I'm not saying Floyd is an All-Pro; but he's clearly better than Judon. He also has history with Morris (& the Niners). I wonder if the holdup in bringing him in is money. IF that's the case, that's disappointing because this team NEEDS a real impact EDGE rusher right now. Judon may prove to be a decent rotational add. Floyd is more than that.

Don't think he wants to come here after we released him out of the blue. Probably has some hard feelings towards us.

Rather have him than floyd, better against the run and neither gonna generate pressure consistently.

in 2025 43 pff rating played 350+ snaps.

sure why not.

Basically a flimsy Band-Aid until we get our star players back, and hopefully Joey Bosa later in the year when he decides we are going on a Super Bowl run and wants to be a part of it.

Wonder what the deal is why Floyd hasn't signed yet.

Bosa, Osa, White, Mykel aren't a bad four. Using Judon on a limited basis could really maximize his impact. That's really not a terrible rotation. We just need to find some sort of DT in a trade that's above average. right now we are using PS guys.

I wonder why the Niners won't sign senior Bosa. I'm assuming it's the injury history but he'd be the closest to replacing baby Bosa

And how come Jadeveon Clowney isn't on our radar ? Didn't he have like 9 sacks with the Cowboys last year ?

Clown is with the Texans I believe

Is Clowney available? What would the Texans want for him?

Maybe Judson is a bigger body against the run

Not a big time move at this point obviously but it's fine. Guy was obviously very good once. Even he said essentially he just wants to help until some guys get healthy and come back. Doesn't hurt to have a guy who's experienced success at a high level instead of a collection of guys who have spent most of their time on the waiver wire and various practice squads.

Go listen to Nick like 3 months ago. Joey bosa wasn't (and probably isn't right now) interested in playing.

Oh I'm sure there is an amount of $$ that would get him to walk in tomorrow, but it's not an amount any NFL team is willing to pay for an older part time guy

Are we jumping the gun on this? Nothing is official.
