49ers trade Andy Lee to Brown for 7th rd pick

[HaroldSeattle]

Willis, Borland, Davis, Smith all bailed out saving lots off the cap. Dropping Lee seems like an odd move considering your new found cap room.

Setting themselves up for a rebuild, looks like.

Man.....SF is a dumpster fire this year. But at least they aren't the Browns.

Hope your right. I have a avatar wager on it. I'm starting to get worried.

Watch the 49ers go 14-2 this season.

You guys are in denial!

They secretly went out and hired the greatest Fantasy Football coach in history!

Tomsula has won his $ league in 15 of the last 20 years.

So is he getting rid of the guys that cost him money those other 5 years?

What guys?

He forced them to retire.

If I were a SF fan I'd be screaming to the gods demanding a complete FO house cleaning. Bring back the Mob. At least they had a clue on how to run a franchise. Plus they are more respectable than Kraft and Tom Terrific.

This trade was written in stone as soon as SF drafted a punter. ... ok.

 

[FantasyBelowZero]

poor andy

Yeah. His leg will get tired in Cleveland from all the punts.

Gotta be one of the oddest trades in history in what is turning out to be one of the most scrutinized off-seasons in history. No real issue with the move if the 49ers have some substantial cap room returned, but if you're going to only get a future 7th rounder for the guy you would be nearly as well off just to cut him and let the player have a chance to go where he prefers. If I were the player, I think I would have been elated when my agent told me I had been traded out of SF, and then it would have been wiped away immediately when I learned my new team.

Was Baalke the guy who signed the punter to his current contract?

 

[blstoker]

Man, I wish all punters would average 46.8 yards per punt during their "decline".

PITT!

Superbowl!

Pretty much!

Not so odd IMO. 49ers drafted a cheap replacement and the Browns who going to punting a whole hell of a lot got a great but aging punter. Win, win. Don't poo poo a 7th round pick, they help on occasion.

Andy Lee asked for trade after Pinion was drafted. He didn't want to go through training camp only to be released
