I am looking forward to Styles - crazy good athlete - and see what he can do.

That fits. I counted 10 different players mocked at 7 which is a crazy amount of players for that spot. In reviews of Williams I have seen day 1 starter to a project. IMO still need wr I would like to sign Jauan and be done with it instead of waiting until august first 49ers to release Aiyuk

Don't they have to release him before that? His guarantees have been voided, but isn't he due a roster bonus after 1st June? If this drags on into camp don't they have to pay him salary? Admittedly he'd likely not attend, but if he did and got turned away, would they not still owe him? It feels like they will certainly freeze him out TA and salary wise until 1st June at least, but then it becomes law of diminishing returns (or diminishing punishment) and the principle will start costing them more than just being done with the whole thing.

I don't see Jennings offering anything we don't already have in the WR room, and given Aiyuk isn't coming back, the 49ers not re-signing him and drafting Stribling, I question his value to anyone now. While we'd likely have a better WR room with Aiyuk (assuming he's healthy and not a cancer) I can't see them making a move for anyone else now, barring injuries.

They can utilize a post June 1st designation which allows them to manage the dead cap hit more to advantage the team. I don't know if they will but they could do that and then potentially not release him until August 1st. They have no reason to help a team in conference by releasing him sooner, but I would also think the optics of being petty would be a red flag. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a post June 1st and then release him on June 2nd. It benefits team and then allows him to move on. Like you said they don't have an incentive to hold him so realistically he will be released close to June 1. If they wanted to stoop to Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen pettiness however...
