Brocky Purdy Re-signed 5 years $265M, $180+ Guaranteed

Contending will largely depended on if they hit with their 2025 draft and if they did how quickly those guys get up to speed.

Offensively the team isn't radically different than the 2023 one and is good enough to contend but the defense is a complete unknown right now.

Saleh is a massive upgrade at DC over who they had last year but the defense is going to mainly hinge on the DL guys draft this season and how they pan out.

We now have serious talent on defense, assuming our draft picks pan out. What we lack at the moment is depth on the defensive side.

They will have to now cut their entire team and are in complete cap hell all because of this Purdy contract!

Or not....

Prior to the Niners signing Purdy, the Niners had over $60 mil in cap space. The cap is exploding next season bc of the new TV deals so the idea that this contract will negatively affect the Niners is a farce.

Too old. Kittle is 32, I think CMAC is cooked (2023 was I think his final year), Williams is gettin' up there as well.

The one big thing is they'll have Aiyuk back in hopefully full capacity.

Kittle is still the best TE in the league. Look at his numbers the last two years. Expect Kittle to stay as WR1 in this offense. He's Purdy's go-to guy.

I’ll take Bowers, LaPorta, and McBride over Kittle. And why are you saying “still” when Kelce has been the best TE in the league for most of Kittle’s career?

I think Bowers is the best TE in the NFL at the moment, and Kelce is the TE with the best career that’s still in the league.

Don’t get me wrong. Kittle has been a great player. He’s never been the best TE in the league.

Yep Kittle is an elite TE but never the best in the NFL.

Rams beat thrm in the postseason when it matters.

And it wasn't 9 straight, it was which ended in 2020. Rams have won 3 straight, right now

49ers won in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 regular seasons. They won week 2 in 2023. Yes niners won nine straight regular season games. As for that playoff game, the 49ers played them a third time and the second time in LA within a month. It's not easy to beat a team three times in a season.

49ers didn't win the division in 2021 because of one person who had their number...Russell Wilson.

I think McBride and Bowers have something to say about that.

Geno Smith IMO was a good QB,

I think you just jumped...yourself here.
