If we had Kincaid or Laporta, we might have won a couple of more games and been totally out of the top QB market. Very fair point that. We are where we are based on those kind of decisions. And now we are in a position of strength assuming the top priority is drafting a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 17 hours ago, Warhead36 said: Elite players don't hit FA. But a group like: Hunter Hentry Dalton Shultz Mike Gesicki Noah Fant Austin Hooper Robert Tonyan, Jr Is fairly solid. All would be upgrades for us, some substantial. I watched a lot of Gesicki in college and I'm surprised he hasn't had more success. The guy probably has, if not the best vertical in the game, somewhere up there. He was on track to potentially be an Olympic volleyball player before he chose football as his sport in college. At Penn State, that was half the red zone offense...lob it up somewhere in his direction and he'd just outjump everyone for it. He isn't much of a blocker and having no idea what was expected of the TE in Miami and New England, maybe that was part of the issue. But he should have been far more of a red zone weapon over his career than he has been. For a cheap FA contract, he'd probably be pretty useful.

He's just a big WR basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yeah apparently Johnson is a big believer in TEs who can block so if he's our coach, that probably rules out Gesicki. I've always liked Austin Hooper personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Curl only sees that kind of money from a bad team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philibusters Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Brad Speilberger from PFF did a projection for Curl maybe 6 months ago and his estimate was 3 years 40 million about 27 million guaranteed. I could see giving Curl a deal like that because he is a good player. So I am kind of going in think 2 years guaranteed at 27 million is what I am looking at. You can add two unguaranteed years with a combined 37 million to that an make a 4 year 64 million dollar deal, I'd be fine with that as long as we are only essentially obligated to something like like two years 27 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hard pass. Curl is solid but does generate big plays. Id like to keep him but nothing more than like $10-12 M a year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather spend that money elsewhere. Regarding Miami being so far over the cap, we know that the 49’ers were aggressive before on the trade market…I’d only want to take on big time salary however for a younger player.

Doesn't have to be Gesicki, but I just looked at the roster, we don't have a single WR over 6'1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
