49erurtaza Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Marquis Goodwin is gone next year that's another 3 mil we can save 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherm Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Don't love the picks we gave up but understand why we made the move. Hopefully he can stay healthy. He should be very motivated after leaving Denver. With him walking into starters spot...maybe the young wr can find their roles as secondary options. I do like they said let's go for it. Never know if we'll be in this position again. Every season is different. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is pretty friendly, and until he ceases to be our best wide receiver without Manny, I don't know how we can make that move for such nominal savings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Here's some perspective: Emmanuel Sanders is the #2 WR in a struggling offense, and his production more than doubles our top WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they on the roster? Neither of them is on IR so they count against the 53, don't they? So we don't have to release anyone when they come back (though as you said, we probably will, but that just means we are sitting there with an empty roster spot). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, that's what I am thinking, though. Free up a spot for someone more needed than a 5th string tackle. Maybe Elijah Lee, or someone at a position where there are injuries.

Correct, they still count against the 53. So for those saying we paid too much? I love that we are going for it. How many times have we seen a team have a great season that falls short in the postseason and then never gets back to that level? Now, if Jimmy G proves to be the real deal, then good bet we will be in contention for the next few years. Still, the Pats go for it every year and we are doing the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, then I would just assume that whomever we put in that spot for the time being would likely be gone when / if Taylor or Hurd comes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Also, Emmanuel Sanders may have the fun distinction of being one of the few players to ever start 17 games in a regular season. Dude isn't getting a bye week this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying let Young go when McG and Staley are healthy and get someone else more needed on the roster. I like Brunskill as a utility lineman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScutterX Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) One other great thing about this trade? The front office has a better track record with 5th round picks than they do with 4th rounders... We should swap every year.

nayad Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Steep price, but Sanders is a legit option. Glad we got him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 They clearly did this to give me an out for picking Carolina this week. Now when we win, I can just be all, "well, I didn't know we were going to have Manny Sanders when I made my prediction" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
