The 2020 Free Agency Thread...

nope, hurts the cap? his big contract? and we got our eventual premier LT. I'm good with not getting Williams.
As I see it - (Wills, Harrison and Phillips) > Williams.
It's a simple view - but it works for me.

Trent Williams was traded on draft day from Skins to 49ers for a 4th this year [the most recent draft] and 49'ers 3rd next year. Note that he's now starting there due to Staley's injury retirement.
Seems fairly low compensation to me.. If we could have offered our lower 3rd round this year and next year's 4th and done the same, would you do that deal - maybe throw in Hubbard just to get his contract out the door?

Hubbard resigned for a very team friendly deal. I would not have done that deal. I like Williams and if the browns wanted him, they would have offered more. The 49ers were screwed because they found out Staley was retiring the 2nd day of the draft. They didn't have much choice.

Fortunate for us. They may have tried to trade up in front of us and take our guy.
Mrs. Wife just mentioned that the Bengals have released Andy Dalton.

And another rumor out there is that Billy B may be interested for NE.

That rumor has been out there for months.

Would make a great story... if only it were true.
Of course they knew. When the 49ers passed on Iowa tackle Tristan Wirfs with the 13th pick in the NFL Draft, it was not for lack of consideration. They knew Joe Staley was retiring. They also knew they were closing in on a deal for Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams, but had to be tactile in the way they carried out their business.
If Joe Staley retired before the draft, the Redskins could pump up the asking price, especially given the tempestuous relationship between Kyle Shanahan and Redskins owner Daniel Snyder. And Staley gave the 49ers the gift of information, while also waiting to share that information with the world.
=============================================================================================================================================
There's been some speculation on when the San Francisco 49ers were made aware of veteran tackle Joe Staley's decision to retire. Some had wondered if general manager John Lynch and company knew about the decision well before the draft, and whether or not Lynch knew about it when he told reporters he was confident Staley would play in his 14th NFL season.
Did the 49ers keep the information "close to the vest" and "strategically lie," as so many teams do leading to the draft?
Apparently, Staley didn't confirm his decision to Lynch and the 49ers until the week leading to the draft, which is what head coach Kyle Shanahan has indicated, as well.
"The reality on that deal, we didn't really have the conversation with Joe until the week of the draft," Lynch told Andrew Siciliano on NFL Now. "I think Joe was trying to give himself and his body time. Joe wanted to keep playing, but his body simply didn't allow for it.https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/136465-49ers-didnt-about-staleys-decision-retire-until-draft/

"Article"... actually a "slide show"... on what each team spent in FA this off-season.
We were #4... trailing Cinci, Detroit and #1, Miami. List is in order of 202 cap hit, but each teams' total guaranteed commitment is also included in summary.

Pseudo thought-provoking article on landing spots for the remaining "name" FAs.
Although a couple times your thought may be, "does this guy know who the team has added this off-season?"

Beg pardon, old chap... but isn't that a trifle oxymoronic?
