Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

He's good. 3rd might be a little high but he's better than anything we have at DT, his stats don't quite match up to his play. We'll see but I don't hate it.

Given what the #49ers tend to pick in Round 3, maybe getting a proven player for the pick isn't such a bad idea.

Cowboys fans are pissed, one analyst is quoted as saying 'wtf are the Cowboys doing', dude has a good pass rush win rate etc etc. Not sad. Price feels high but you never really know

Well, we do need a DT quite badly.

IDK how I feel about this. Especially for a 3rd. Seems pricey.

Can't argue with any of that. Keeping Tonges was important too.

SPILL FEATURE: EVERYTHING IS IRREVERSIBLE - A CONVERSATION WITH WES LEAVINS OF BRIGITTE CALLS ME BABY - The Spill Magazine EVERYTHING IS IRREVERSIBLE A CONVERSATION WITH WES LEAVINS OF BRIGITTE CALLS ME BABY You get the sense that Wes Leavins, singer/songwriter extraordinaire of Brigitte Calls Me Baby, can’t quite believe...

Away from football for a sec, was very pleased to interview Brigitte Calls Me Baby last week:

The rabid Starmer defenders are beyond strange.

Likely another depth guy, but interesting pickup, he's played well when he has played. #49ers

11.03.2026 03:10 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Logan Hall to Texans. Another maybe-49er off the board.

Meh. Our DT rotation largely sucked last year, but Saleh seems to like him. Good luck.

10.03.2026 23:48 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Heh. Surprised no announcement of a deal for him yet.

10.03.2026 23:13 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Can see why the #49ers weren't in here, but uh, what's the plan at EDGE and LB?

10.03.2026 22:41 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Another #49ers reputed target goes elsewhere. Not mega sad about this one.

10.03.2026 22:28 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Skyy Moore leaves the #49ers, which is a bit of a surprise. Packers sign him on a 1yr deal. Bergen to be given a chance to be the returner?

10.03.2026 22:04 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Was there one moment you realised it wasnt it?

10.03.2026 02:43 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Boy, a bunch of players that everyone was mad about the #49ers letting go or losing out on last year sure all went back on the market quick, eh? No chance of getting Kawakami to unblock me though I guess.

09.03.2026 21:46 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah, I'm optimistic on the DBs. Hope Green isn't traded.

09.03.2026 21:38 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Dre Greenlaw on the market... #49ers

09.03.2026 21:37 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, with caveats - its a lot of money for Linderbaum BUT they have to hit a salary floor and have something like $112m in cap space, so might as well put it on someone. great fit for Kubiak

09.03.2026 21:21 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I'm stepping away to eat. Let's see if the #49ers sign Trey Hendrickson or trade Trent Williams while I'm gone.

09.03.2026 21:04 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

We'll come back to it in May, but I'd still be very surprised. It'd be a complete change in philosophy, draft-wise.

09.03.2026 21:03 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

I missed him going to the Jets. Yeah. I liked Sheldon Rankins too but he stuck around in Houston. Lots still out there.

09.03.2026 20:42 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

We've no tackles lmao I don't think this has any bearing on Trent, BUT I could see the team pulling a 'it's fine, we've a guy with starting exp at LT' if he is traded.

09.03.2026 20:41 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Seems quiet on him and the other DTs. Like Hall, would make some sense. Trying to get an idea of what we're looking for at DL/LB under Morris but with no signings so far its hard to gauge.

09.03.2026 20:41 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

No, I saw the news, as we talked about it at the time. But I don't think it was ever actually announced by the team. Then again, nor has Eberflus iirc. We'll see how it shakes out. Just would be a surprise to add two assistant OL coaches. Thought Clemmons would get promoted to TE coach though.

09.03.2026 20:40 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Have the team actually announced it, then? I haven't seen any confirmation, and it would be odd to hire two assistant OL coaches - of course neither have been confirmed by the Niners IIRC but I thought since the newer one was reported, perhaps Sapolu had fallen through.

Kwity Paye is off the board. He's just got $16m a year from the Raiders! I did not see that strong a market for him. #49ers

09.03.2026 20:37 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I also can't read. Let's try again.

I don't know much about Lowe, but I can see swing tackle potential at a decent price. No whinging on this one. And hey, we picked up an OL! #49ers
