Forge Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We can make it work with a one year restructure with just a tiny bit of luck or good fortune, I think. 185 Cap gives us 31-35 million. Restructure Jimmy but don't extend is 11 saved. 42-46. Richburg retires or cut cut, that saves between 3-5 (so there's a weird thing here on OTC and spotrac where they show different amounts...otc builds the restructure into prorated bonus...OTC looks correct that we will save closer to 5 as opposed to 3, and I think spotrac is wrong, but I'm jsut going to use the range). So now you have 45 - 51. Cut Dee gives you 6, but if you do the re-negotiation i mentioned on the podcast you save 10 and don't have to replace him. Now you're up to 51 - 61. Honestly, its kind of workable. Nzeocha likely gone at 1.6 (or extended). Guys like Brendel and Benjamin can likely go, that's another 2. Trickiest part will be having money in reserve for the injuries (also, all of these figures are rounded / estimates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 This keeps being said but not convinced they move on from Jimmy. I mean if there is an upgrade, then sure. But are they getting someone like Stafford? Are they trading up for a QB? Doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically exactly what we have said and why we ask think he's here next year. Hell, even shanny has and all but admitted they would, if they find better the only ones who really make sense are Stafford, who is probably too expensive, and Wentz, who I want nothing to do with and I don't know how the team would feel comfortable with as an upgrade in either health or play lol To move on from Jimmy, you have to get better or cheaper. There aren't many truly "better" options, which means the most likely answer would cheaper. The only problem is that the draft is after FA. This team should definitely move up if only two QBs go on the top 6, but until we have a better idea on how that plays out, what teams are thinking of doing, etc, it's really too soon to speculate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Jimmy has a good but not great season, and we manage to get a second day pick for him... That would be a win for us. Not overly excited with Cousins, but he's probably better than Jimmy at this point. And we have to look at drafting a QB to develop this year or next. Just don't give Cousins a three years, fully guaranteed contract... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudyZ Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Is Hoyer a free agent? If not, I think we should take a look at the CFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49ersfan Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'm in on one of Wilson/Fields/Lance. What are the chances we get close to a top 10 pick next year if everyone is healthy. Furthermore, the cap savings from moving on from Jimmy G allows us to get an extra FA or two, to make up for any lost picks trading up for a QB. And furthermore, our team is pretty solid finding contributors with mid-late round picks and UDFA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissooner49er Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Recently, I was thinking how great it was "back in the day" when Montana could be replaced with Bono, or Young....then Grbac in for Young when he couldn't go. The days of decent backup QBs seems to be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back-up QB money is still a lot for the good ones and unless you have a rookie starter you are usually better off spending that money outside of it.

Pretty remarkable the operation they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
