If they find a taker, great. But he doesn’t count that much against the cap. Got to look for other cap releases. Need a RT desperately. The Domer there is a disaster.

Going to be interesting. The Niners have their own Miezen and Farrah. Jalen Hurd. Much potential but so far he is crystal. Could be a Red Zone terror.

The entire discussion of roster management is polluted by the ridiculous CBA rules regarding rookie deals.  4-5 years means drafted players are locked in by teams, and the good ones always underpaid.  If rookie deals were 2 years only, then teams would be better able to allocate $$ on a real-time; real-performance basis . . . and oh yeah, players would better get what they deserved.   Right now, everybody wants as many draft picks as possible because you get them for pennies on the dollar compared to free agents.  It shouldn't be that way, and the players union should make that the #1 thing to change in next CBA (hell, I don't know why teams oppose it - except they all must have the hubris to think they can ID hidden gems better than others).  But with a salary cap, why do they care about 4-5 year rookie deals?  Everyone makes draft mistakes, even the most astute.

Let the market better regulate NFL salaries.

Mini-rant over.

'Niners should renegotiate Jimmy G's contract - he's not worth $25M next year (not close to that).  He wouldn't get that on open market, so take less and allow your team to be better around you.  Then draft a QB in mid rounds (3rd or 4th).  Maybe second.  Mills would be a steal anywhere after mid-second round, imo.
