Yeah just to be clear - when I said I don't think we want him I meant we as in the team, I'm not sure they see him as a fit for the new offense.

From a personal point of view I like him and think he played well last season in difficult circumstances. I'd be very happy to have him back at the right price.

Plus there's time to sign another RB and/or re-sign McNichols, though neither would rule out Love as having potentially one of the best RB's in the league is enticing.

There's also the WR question. Might put Tate in contention. Again, further FA signings are going to reveal if this is more or less likely.

What a great position to be in, potentially there could be 3 guys available at #7 who are all #1 in their respective position groups.

I think we are signing Ayuk, once he’s released at 4pm. I can see them bringing back Deebo.

How much cap space we have left?

[SkinsGuru]

Commanders signed TE Okonkwo and safety Nick Cross.

we all don't know how these signings will pan out obviously, but AP had a plan and he is executing it nicely.

I would like to see Debo come back. He still has plenty left in the tank. I would rather have him than Aiyuk. Debo will play hard and loves football, not sure about Aiyuk, who basically quit on his team.

If they feel they need a speed guy I would just try and see if Lane could be that guy or find that person in the draft.

Suggestions the 49ers may not release him and hold out for a draft day trade.

Doubs - obvious really, strengthen the WR room.
Chaisson - 2 consecutive good seasons; he or Hendrickson would signal we're not drafting Edge @7.
Chenal - fills out LB depth at least, and maybe a good foil if we went after Reese or Styles @ LB?
Cross - only 24 and did very well in Indy. Suspect they'll be trying to re-sign him, but worth pursuing.
Brisker - if not Cross, then...
Newsome II - consistency might be an issue, but he's capable of top play. Adds depth if nothing else.
White - 27 so... Good receiving back, and would give us more freedom in the draft.

Beyond these guys, plenty of room for improving depth at least, though I expect the depth guys will be picked up once the initial rush is over. Big question - is AP pursuing these guys (and we're not hearing any noise) or is he sitting back and waiting to see who is still available later in the week. Hope its the former.

Well, 3 out of 7 so far, and only Doubs and Newsome signed elsewhere. Worth going after Brisker after signing Cross? Now we're lighter at RB I really like the look of White now (with at least Rodriguez gone).

It may have gone under the radar but I see Sam Howell signed with Dallas

They probably going to go scorched earth on his ass and he deserves EVERY bit of it too. Wait till after the draft and into June before finally releasing him. By then, most teams already got their pieces in place and the big money is already dried up.

It's what I would do. Got to set an example.

It’s a joke about a poster SFRedskins that left the site when JD was drafted. He was a strong proponent of Sam Howell. Some think he may even have been Sam himself.

Thanks. It went straight over my head but yes I remember that now
