One surprising name not out there but shopped b4 trade deadline: 49er LB Ahmad Brooks. CLE was in talks but then 49ers bailed on it late.

Im happy we didnt do this trade.

What were we looking for in return? Late Rd draft choice an salary dump? Any ideas since we already will eat cap wise much of this? Roster spot open is only benefit this late...

Brooks has only hurt the D with all his penalties. With Aldon and Lynch, we'd be alright. Always thought we have too much spent in the LB position, wish we'd spend some money on CBs

Because Lynch is a monster

back to back years where we almost made a trade with them and both times we should of. screw it make it 3 trades. Should of traded for Gordon, Should of traded harbaugh and should of traded brooks.

I'm just sick of looking the other way when players want off this team. What I heard was that he was trying to put the trade together himself.
