Free Agency 2019

[deep9er]

Tevin Coleman 2 yr/$10M for SF........

They went after L. Bell, and now this? Something wrong with McKinnon's rehab?

Yep, what does this say about McKinnon?

Obviously a huge waste if McKinnon isn't close to his self.

 

[RobertPhD01]

yeah and Ward coming back 1 year $5mill .

 

[poewelch84]

We sure hope he's legit? He only did well last season.

Actually had 10 sacks his first year as a starter in 2016 and was behind Houston and Hali in his first two seasons before an injury sidelined his 2017 season.

 

[poewelch84]

None of Mckinnon's contract is guaranteed so they can cut him without any future cap charge

Prove it deal he'll be the starting FS.

 

[RobertPhD01]

The Safeties need to not let people get behind them so easy this year!

He also had a 10 sack season two years prior. He fits really well in what Kris Kocurek wants from his defensive line....speed rushers from outside, and Ford provides a lot of that. He's technically sound with his hands, with some variety of moves to go with his speed. The only question is injury to me.

If he can avoid injury, I believe this dude is legit.

""Verrett, 27, has appeared in just 25 games since breaking into the NFL in 2014 as the 25th overall draft pick of the Chargers. His career has been marred by injuries.""

Perfect fit for the 49ers

The looks of confusion on their faces as they blew coverage after coverage were almost comical if they weren't so sad.

Ford was also PFFs highest graded pass rushers in the 90s. He also had alot of QB pressures last season

That's interesting....assuming that's just the edge guys? Seems like Aaron Donald was rated #1 in all those metrics.

Still....I'm happy we got this guy.

Yes, just read this few minutes ago. So ok, guess we can't say he's a one year riser.

Ok, this is obviously good. Not that i want to cut him, but every ACL is different.

did they sign him?

 

[Montalban]

did they sign him?

No. I'll post the article from NBC Bay Area where they said they are bringing him in for a physical.

Source: CB Verrett to meet with 49ers, take physical

 

[poewelch84]

Verrett was an elite player when healthy. The problem is only been healthy one season..

 

[deep9er]

Ok, answering my own concern.

49ers say Tevin Coleman signing won’t affect Jerick McKinnon

 

[Ricky Roma]

Verrett's signed 1 yr/$3.6M......nice. Nothing to lose.

I am okay with this signing. A one year prove it deal. It is the Ward signing I don't get. Ward already had a one year prove it deal last year and ended up on IR again. At least Verrett made it to a pro bowl. Ward hasn't shown enough to make it on the bud bowl team.
