00:00 Let's talk expectations for free agency
00:03 What do you think the Niners are gonna do it starts in a few weeks?
00:06 They could trade for luxurious need that could sign a tie
00:10 I mean they made a big move last year and Javon Hargrave the lines are gonna be making a big move there
00:14 They haven't won a Super Bowl. What do you think? They're just gonna work around the edges or do something unexpected. I
00:19 Feel like it's gonna be a very boring free agency period from them because they are currently above 5 million over the cap
00:27 And I think that's even with the bump they got from the extra like 15 16 million from the seller cap raises
00:33 So I'm wondering like what the hell you guys gonna mitigate here. What are you gonna configure? How you gonna do that?
00:39 and I
00:42 Just don't think your answers are in free agency
00:44 You guys keep going there out and it's been nice in terms of like, okay
00:46 We got a nice little got a nice little anchor in the middle with Hargrave
00:49 He's fairly impactful Ward has probably been their best free to signing last four years because he's an all-pro now
00:55 I'm thinking like the only thing I'm looking at free agency. Number one is don't address like you're obviously your top need
01:01 That's never that's never it
01:03 But you can probably look for like maybe like your third fourth or fifth need and the need they have is that linebacker with Jerry
01:08 Green law torn Achilles mending it right now. I
01:10 Wouldn't mind bringing I would like to bring back Aziz. I'll show here. You know how much I don't think he's signed for that
01:16 Much last year. He came on a one
01:17 He went the Titans time so one-year deal and it's not like he had a better season than any time against the 49ers
01:23 He's still good linebacker and I think that would make perfect sense
01:25 You know if you're not feeling comfortable with those young linebackers do you winners Jalen Graham and such?
01:30 Or you don't want to draft someone then? Hey, I have an idea
01:34 Let's bring in a guy who probably won't cost too much
01:36 Plug and play literally only takes a couple weeks of practice to reintegrate him with us and we're all good and then dry comes back
01:43 Now we have a great array of three linebackers and we don't have to feel forced to be drank green
01:48 Wow, whether if we got Graham or winters or whatever young linebacker you guys sign
01:52 You might feel a little skittish like after like a month or two of playing
01:55 It's like I can't really trust this guy and now all of a sudden you feel forced to bring green law back and at least
02:00 I'll show here you have that that comfort in your head that confidence knowing that he could be there and he'll be fine
02:06 So I think that's where you just kind of look at in terms of addressing a free agency
02:09 Think about it. I'll show here though is he went over to Tennessee and messed around and got
02:15 63 tackles last year. He had more tackles in Roquan Smith and CJ Mosley and
02:20 Fred Warner and Levine he killed it. So I don't know that the Niners can afford him
02:27 Yeah, and I don't really know what the feelings are like between those two sides
02:30 I mean, I think he felt like he never really got a shot and then when he got a shot
02:33 That a little nice little shout out to the 49ers like a little play highlight play with
02:38 Yeah, and he showed up and then it's a championship game. So I think that relationship is
02:44 Nice and dandy. I feel like they're gonna take a linebacker with that with that pick in round one
02:49 That's my prediction I think they're gonna get a DN and exact in free agency
02:54 I feel like that's their number one priority DN and
02:58 That the D as you get at the end around one aren't necessarily locks
03:03 But you can get proven guys and free agency all the time someone better than chase young. I don't have a name Daniel Hunter
03:09 They can get him. Maybe he's too expensive. It's too expensive. I
03:14 Haven't really looked too heavily into the you're gonna get Brian Burns. I mean forget it, right?
03:18 This is what this is where the salary cap
03:22 Constraints really like make it hard to get so heavily invested free agency, especially given where they're already tied up with other players
03:29 It's not so much that they need like they don't really need that big splash of free agency
03:33 It's it's the draft that's really been killing them
03:35 like the last two years the forfeiting the first round picks the lack of hits that you've gotten outside of Jair Brown and Brock Purdy like
03:41 That's where you really need to hit it and the fact that it's like now
03:44 Nicely that they have a first round pick back. It's like easier to get into the draft again
03:48 Now it's like free agency like this is their draft year first free agency year
03:52 I think that's what I'm trying to look at like maybe like like but like you mentioned like well as he's having those
03:57 160 plus tackles, you know
04:00 I think it's a little different when you're in actually that full-time starting role as opposed to being like the second or third guy
04:04 hey, and also it also difference, you know, when you're the Titans having to like defeat leads and like
04:10 Come back. So I
04:12 Think I think it'd be dual me you guys squeak penny pinch and that's like your big splash of the offseason and the rest you
04:18 Just fill in as like little measly debt pieces
04:20 What about signed a Mary trade for Jerry Snead
04:27 He wants an extension, which I guess it would work cuz
04:31 It wouldn't affect this year's cap. Oh, but they franchise them
04:35 So you have to treat a first round pick for him, huh?
04:38 Oh
04:40 Then you could trade McCaffrey get that first round pick back
04:42 Sky who's your running back Elijah Mitchell last year a deal. Yeah, Jordan Mason the offensive player of the year
04:51 It's really pissed off the fan base, what do you say?
04:55 The troll guys get right McCaffrey's gone it's okay though. Don't worry
05:01 We got a good corner. You guys are gonna be crying. We're winning. They're 23. We're winning 20 to 10 games every game
05:08 Yeah, just a little weird this year cuz yeah, didn't Mike Shanahan do that when I was in high school did he not trade
05:14 Clinton Portis for champ Bailey. Did he not do that?
05:17 He did right I wasn't a time when running backs were more valuable - am I tripping I don't know
05:24 Okay, but that's
05:27 Gonna do something cuz the Lions are gonna do something the Eagles are gonna do something the Niners can't just sit back and act like
05:32 They're way that much for they want how much they beat the the Lions by
05:36 three three
05:38 barely
05:39 Barely, they freaking barely be the Lions at home. They got it. They got to be aggressive here because the Lions will be
05:45 But the lines are aggressive in the Niners kind of aren't I need you?
05:49 I feel like my expectation for free agency has got to be something trade of trade a
05:52 trade oriented
05:55 Like literally it's good. We're gonna we're gonna feel something similar to like the Forrest Buckner type of now
06:00 I don't know if that's gonna be brand now you but it's gonna be somebody and it probably should be somebody
06:04 I think that's gonna be your only way to recruit picks or get someone that can give you that immediate impact this year
06:08 You
