I agree, we keep hearing about being better against the run [ from the coaching staff ] So here's a guy who fits the bill, and is cheap. Yet nothing happens.
I understand the Packers like to think they're players are good and can do the job. But we keep seeing good teams gash them when it counts.
We all know, the 49ers are going to run the ball when the Pack plays them. If they stuff down the Packs throat again, passing on a player like McClendon is really going to hurt.

Dont forget about the Rams. They fit the bill of a team that an extra DLmen of quality would help alot to have.

Yes, they would be a team that want's depth. But the way they've thrown money around the past couple of years, can't see them with much cap space left. Not to mention, gave up 2 first rounders for Ramsey. don't think they want to spend anymore draft picks.
Pretty sure they gave Leonard Floyd $10 million last off season. Talk about a waste of dough.

sorry, i was saying that that a run stuffing DLmen would help the PACKERS against a team like the Rams. I may not have been clear enough.

Sportrac has the Rams at a negative 18 mil for next year

No problem, and yes, it would help against the Rams. Right now, pretty much all of the [ cheap ] Dlinemen are gone. Don't see the Pack making any moves. Adams keeps flashing just enough to give you the confidence he might be able to fill the need.
They're not going to make a play for somebody like Q Williams, and I don't blame them. Marcel Darius has been sitting out there all this time and nobody has shown any interest.
He might be out of shape so bad, no one will touch him. Have absolutely no interest in fat ass Poe.
My biggest hope is one of the receiver's steps up and keeps MVS off the field.

I think the lack of interest is mutual.
He was looking for another fat pay day and the Jags GM mentioned he would revisit IF Marcell reduced his salary demands
Marcell probably decided to take the year off- and once you do that its really really hard to rev it up again. We'll see soon

If we want a big, but immobile run stuffer, the Cowboys are trading or cutting Dontari Poe. Even his current contract is manageable.

If that's what he decided, he's pretty stupid. Salary cap going down, you sit out a year and think teams are going ring your phone off the hook to give you more money. Good luck on that.

You're not wrong, and Dareus has made a few bad decisions already in his career
But players make different decisions in life once they've earned $ 90M. The threat of COVID problems is very real for these Big Guys- they are among the high risk groups - so I can imagine that his risk/reward equation takes that into account.

I love MM. This is funny.

How did I not know this. His eyes are kinda creepy, anyone else feel the same way?

Yeah McCarthy has always had a fish looking appearance with his eyes. I think they are slightly lazy eyes.

Yikes. $22.6M/per in new money.

I think the franchise tag projected price at least prior to this deal was 16 million for offensive lineman.

Obviously Bak would be pissed but it makes the most sense for the team to tag him a year or two until they disrespectfully get rid of Rodgers.

What if we name something after Bakhtiari. Like the south endzone, or a street, or the stadium. Will that make it any cheaper?

That might not be possible to fit under the cap.

Yeah, I know this COVID impact is sucking for everyone, but guys like Aaron Jones and Kevin King, both guys with availability issues, one guy at a position where examples of successful 2nd contracts are non-existent, the franchise tag for either could make really good sense.

But with the cap position as it is looking, would be so much easier to just extend either and take a really low year 1 cap hit. Prolly even small year 2, with the expected jump in 2022.


The other thing about the cap hit too, is I would venture there might be a lot of real low salaries being paid out next year which might actually bring the cap numbers down some.


Either way, lot of moves we can if we want to make it work. I am fine kicking some of the can down the road given the expect salary cap jumps in the future and then also knowing one day sooner than later we won't have a top 5 paid QB on roster.

There are some disputes emerging about the size; and his current cap number is $12.9 and it's still early enough to put money into this year for the cap, so Stanley's deal is closer to around $20M/year, not much higher than I'd expected honestly.

Actually looking like its <20 million per in new money.

The Seahawks have the worst point differential in the NFCW. I have a feeling that division is putting two, if not three, really good teams in the playoffs... even after they all beat the hell out of one another.

With the Vikings and Jaguars on the schedule in 2 of 3, would be so amazing to go out SF and hand them their 4th loss, maybe even 5th if they lose to Seattle in Seattle this Sunday.


If we can, we should head to 8-1. With a fair possibility of setting up SF to not even make the playoffs.

Taking care of business where we should with the Vikes will be big, too, even though it's perfectly expected.

I'm personally rooting for a 49ers win this week, a Packers win this week, and then a Packers win Thursday, keeping us quite ahead of any NFC West winner in the seeding
