Curious to see other moves that the Niners do with their 24 unrestricted free agents, two restricted free agents and seven exclusive-rights free agents. Glad the salary cap increased more than expected.
Time to do John Lynch’s job….
Would you trade Purdy to TN for the #1 overall pick?
Would you trade Aiyuk to Chicago for the #10 overall pick?
How about doing both?
I would make both deals and select Hunter and a QB with the 1 and 10 respectively. Add in the best lineman available at #11 and it would be a pretty good haul. Also, this would create cap space to sign additional help on both sides of the ball.
Probably the first, definitely the second.
Ayuck for no 10 is a no-brainer. And if I were Chicago’s owner, if they did that deal, I’d fire the GM on the spot. No way that gets done.
Purdy for number 1 is tougher. Personally, I highly doubt Tennessee would do it. But if they would – I’d pull the trigger on that; and then I’d go sign Sam Darnold immediately.
The day before Deebo was traded for a 5th round pick, ESPN guesstimated that he would bring a 4th and a 5th round pick. I could see a healthy Aiyuk for the #10 overall pick, sure. After ACL? Maybe...maybe...a third round pick.
I would do the Purdy trade. I think Purdy's a terrific quarterback when he's surrounded by a healthy Kittle, McCaffrey, Aiyuk, Deebo, Jauan, etc. with a healthy Trent Williams. Maybe Tennessee would prefer a proven Brock Purdy over Cam Ward. Pros and cons to each.
If I were the Niners seeking a backup QB, I'd look closely at Mac Jones, two years, $5 million. Worth it, I think.
Called it...$5 mms. guaranteed, $7 mms.
The 49ers agree to a 2-year contract with QB Mac Jones, AP source says
