49ERS, Salary cap and College scouting

[Jake @JGGamiing]

@BDPeacock not sure how much college film you’ve got through but what are your thoughts on brock Purdy out of Iowa state? He gives me cousins/brees vibes and we would be able to get in the later rounds of draft, instant backup with starter potential

[Jake @JGGamiing]

wtf does this mean? 😂

[Coach Yac 🗣 @Coach_Yac]

“Brandon thought it was a good idea to stop answering our calls, drive like an asshole on the streets and we would just release him so he could play football with his buddy in Washington.”

— John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan probably

BOMBA SEASON IS HERE 💣

[Jake @JGGamiing]

When the Ian rappports of the world announce it then I will believe it’s happening. However this could be a hell of a trade opportunity for the #49ers if true

[Dontay Atkinson @DonAtkinsonNFL]

Josh Sweat is reportedly looking to get out of AZ before the season starts. He’s under contract for 3 more years with the Cards, and his cap hit in 2026 would be a shade over $12M, which could be less than the 49ers would spend on Joey Bosa.

Interesting trade option. He’s 29, and not necessarily a long term plan, but he’d be a hell of an asset in 2026 and maybe 2027 until the youngsters get some experience. He had 12 sacks last year and has only missed 3 games over the last 5 seasons. Super durable edge rusher.

Trade watch. 👀

[Jake @JGGamiing]

@JL_Chapman I will be flying in from the UK for the Seattle away game week 5. Any plans for the 49ers rush party yet?

[Corbin K. Smith @CorbinSmithNFL]

Here's your *unofficial* #Seahawks 2026 schedule.

[Jake @JGGamiing]

I mentioned something similar to this the other day. This does feels consistent with Kyle Shanahan’s coaching approach in the sense he prioritizes precision, trust, and system discipline, and that often means favoring players who minimize distractions and execute consistently. From that lens, it looks like the #49ers have been planning to bring in more dependable characters. I truly feel kyle is fed up with dealing with anyone slightly crazy or gone full CTE like BA

The Aiyuk role.

[JonnyDel's Backup @SulligentHUB]

This is being taken completely to what it's not.

He's not saying he ONLY watched highlight tape. He's saying if a players best doesn't even impress you, why spend time on their worst or mediocre? Is it gonna impress you more? No. Done, wash your hands, move on.

Again, people are backfilling their draft criticisms, at this point. Not having honest or grounded conversations.

[Dontay Atkinson @DonAtkinsonNFL]

A timely clarification of the 49ers/Brandon Aiyuk situation here by Lombardi, particularly with regard to the misconception some have that the 49ers must release Aiyuk by the start of the season, or be stuck paying him. This is not the case. If Aiyuk does not report for camp and OTAs, the 49ers can continue to withhold any payment, including the roster bonus that would otherwise be owed to Aiyuk In late August.

I would add a few additional points:

(1) If Aiyuk doesn’t show up at the 49ers facility ready to participate, the team can attach a DNR (Did Not Report) designation on him for as long as he is absent.

(2) That DNR tag means not only would they not have to pay him, they could FINE him in the neighborhood of $50K per day for each day he fails to report. That fine would be stripped out of any future contract Aiyuk might sign, and the money then handed over to SF.

(3) If Aiyuk is tagged with a DNR, he no longer counts toward a roster spot, and the team can and will carry a full 53 man roster (or 90 man before the cut), even though Aiyuk is still under contract.

The bottom line is:

The only party who can dislodge the 49ers from their complete control of Aiyuk, is Aiyuk himself—and only by reporting for training camp. As long as he stays away, the 49ers can withhold all pay, bank up $50K per day against him in fines (payable when he signs somewhere else), enjoy a full roster without him, and block him from playing football anywhere else.

If Aiyuk does not report, the 49ers could simply sit on him until 2029, not pay him a dime, functionally ending his NFL career.

People who think Aiyuk can just hide and wait until September are woefully mistaken. And as long as Aiyuk stays away, the Commanders will be sitting at the lighthouse window, staring out to sea, waiting for the next three years for a ship that’s not coming.

Brandon Aiyuk LATEST: Showing up at 49ers HQ … is his smartest option https://t.co/SQ5Bl6rNtH via @YouTube

[Brad @Graham_SFN]

“In order for Brandon Aiyuk to force his release from the San Francisco 49ers, that would require him to report”

If Brandon Aiyuk does not show up, he loses any leverage regarding the future of his playing career

This could get interesting

[Jake @JGGamiing]

@Dokweg @grok @Graham_SFN Oh my days. I hope he keeps fucking around so we can place him on did not report. That would be amazing. Fuck him.

[Jake @JGGamiing]

@AaronMatsu39298 100%. I’m not defending what they’ve done as they need to do better. However I feel like the whole situation has been blown out of proportion when it’s a league wide problem.

[Jake @JGGamiing]

Feels like some fans only watch how the #49ers draft in a vacuum. Look around the league, teams like the Packers and Lions reached hard for “upside” athletes. I’ll take our draft all day, yet there’s barely any chatter about those teams because they picked with consensus.

[JonnyDel's Backup @SulligentHUB]

49ers fans: "The Rams draft so much better than us, they have a MONSTER DL!"
in 2023 the Rams drafted Byron Young, who was 25 years old.

49ers fans: "I have serious doubts about the 49ers drafting a 25 year old edge rusher...."

[Jake @JGGamiing]

Are all Washington Fans retarded?

[Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) @Tiller56]

Washington essentially HANDED the 49ers a HOF left tackle for a Sea Salt bagel and a can of Fresca.

Now Lynch and Kyle are all up in their feelings over a player they all know they are eventually going to RELEASE!

This is getting REALLY petty! Other players WILL take notice.

[Jake @JGGamiing]

Don’t forget, Jennings turned down a multi-year deal to bet on himself, and the #49ers still bumped his contract to $10M last season. Now we’ll see what he actually gets. I’m guessing he’s fucked it

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

49ers free-agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings is visiting tonight and Wednesday with the Minnesota Vikings, per source.

[Jake @JGGamiing]

Makes me feel better 😂

[Coach Yac 🗣 @Coach_Yac]

Albert Breer says several top level offensive coordinators around the league are high on De'Zhaun Stribling:

“The 49ers got killed for taking Ole Miss WR De'Zhaun Stribling at 33, and I get it. When fans have been looking at mocks for two months, and their team picks someone perceived as a reach, it normally drives them crazy. I’d just say this on Stribling, some really good offensive coaches really liked him, more than the public knows. We’ll see how it plays out.”

[Jake @JGGamiing]

This draft class was the anti-Aiyuk class. Solid, high-floor prospects with strong character who show up every day and give maximum effort

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

This quote is a glimpse into the 49ers’ success + process. Might even suggest they take bigger draft swings to shoot for bigger rewards.

Think higher whiff rate but higher HR rate.

Because HRs actually move the needle while simply “OK” players aren’t hard to acquire elsewhere

[Jake @JGGamiing]

@DannyParkIRL @Upstate490east Only way we will have All Pro’s is if we draft them high and Kyle would rather draft a WR5 😂

[Jake @JGGamiing]

Listening to the Draft Call, this is a Chris Forester guy all the way. If he has Chris’ stamp of approval, he should be good

[𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙎𝙁𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 @TheSFNiners]

The #49ers selected Kanas OL Enrique Cruz Jr with the 179th pick

[Jake @JGGamiing]

Yeah I think I have same stance as you rn. There’s way too many people on either side of the fence. We really need to wait 2/ 3 years to determine how this draft class will plan out. If Mykel comes back from injury and looks good and then Collins and Martin take a big step forward. All of a sudden, last year‘s draft looks really good. Way too many people like to bash or crown a draft class good the night after.

[Jake @JGGamiing]

@DannyParkIRL @Upstate490east Puni, mckivitz, brunskill, turned the career of Jake Brendal around? The 49ers have been able to get very good production from below par vets under the shanahan tenure and it’s partly due to Forester.
