courtesy of walter football senior bowl rumors.
Pat just turned 29 btw.
well all these rumors could be in our interest..
would you pay that contract to Suh?
would you trade for Willis considering they have the young Borland at middle linebacker? {who we should of drafted btw}
Jordan cameron has some concussions issues, but if he checks out would you make a run at that or keep Charlie Clay?
Theres been some talk about d tackles around here, discouraging news if true about Davis...Well if we go after Suh {which some think is on our radar} we won't have to worry about his lazy ***.
Theres your free agent guard in Mike Iupati, is he a fit? some want the hometown big O franklin?...I always look at the home grown boys first.

O Franklin would be cool because he can play OT and OG. In a jam, we could slide him around. I would love to get P Willis too. Clay>Cameron, I don't trust Cameron, maybe its just me.

gotta shore up that line with one guard...once we get rid of a lot of baggage we should allocate resources for one good guard..cant have it any other way going into this year.. -
I'd love to have Willis.. but the last three seasons he's been missing games.... Man the 49ers sure have a lot of linebacker talent..

How about this- sign Willis and Iupati in FA along with Orlando Franklin, ILB and OG solved. Draft Carl Davis in the 2nd rd- he's a stud and iirc was voted the top defensive player at the Senior Bowl. I don't really have a problem with the comments he made, and he's a great player at a need position. They can say that he's lazy, but he impressed and played very well both at Iowa and the Senior Bowl, go figure.

I would rather sign Michael Roos to play LT and move Albert inside to LG for the remainder of his contract. Maybe he can stay healthy playing OG. A two year contract for Roos or even a three year we can get out of easily would give us plenty of time to draft a developmental OT to replace Roos later on. I like Eric Lefeld.
Prior to the knee, Roos had only missed 1 game in ten years. I predict he will come back strong and play at a high level for another 2-3 years.
If Billy Turner is really ready OK, but I would rather sign Clint Boling and have a good shot at an elite OL.
I don't want Willis. He would constantly remind me of one of the worst moves the Dolphins ever made when Muehler draft Ginn instead of Willis. -

I'd take Franklin over Iupati, just because he's proven to be more versatile but also fit our scheme. Iupati is more of a power guard. I wouldn't trada for Willis but wouldn't mind picking him up as a FA. unless we could give him a 7th rounder but he has a pretty big contract which is why Id rather sign him once he's cut and he will be cut. For a MLB if we actually do what's smart and move Jordan to SLB and Jenkins is at WLB, MIsi may be fine or go get someone like Perrymen who is going to drop in the draft to 3rd-4th round area like Borland. I really hope we don't dump Wallace, this is a football team, real coaches and managers know how to motivate even egocentric people if they posses talent, which Wallace does. The guy had 10 tds for us. Just the 2nd half of the Jets game showed how much it changed our offense with him on the sideline. We have nothing to scare a defense at this time other than Wallace and I don't want to trust some young burner to come in and actually have the same effect. I want a receiver high in the draft but I want it to be someone who compliments Wallace not does the same thing.

willis just turned 29...I see a trade as a viable option for this player if he checks out 100 percent healthy.77FinFan likes this. -

I think that is a pretty poor reason to not want Patrick Willis.dolphin25 likes this. -

When I was at Ole Miss, I'd see Patrick on occasion on my stroll to the Biology building and he would give me a head nod like he knew me. I always thought it was funny, because he obviously had me mistaken for someone else. I knew who the hell he was, though!
I really thought that he would have been a great fit in that draft. Learn under Zach in his waning years. Take the reigns. Willis has had some nagging wrist/hand injuries since college.
I brought up this possibility of Willis becoming a FA/trade option a few months ago. I truly do not think it happens, but with everything that is going on with that organization, I thought there could be a small chance they moved in another direction.dolphin25 likes this. -

Contracts that aren't really conducive to winning or are expendable: Wallace, Finnegan, Hartline, Ellerbe, Wheeler, Fields, Starks, Misi, Brandon Gibson, Shelley Smith, Nate Garner. That's like a 1/2 of our annual cap that could be reallocated however we want in order to construct a more competitive team. Pouncey could even be swapped out for Rodney Hudson if we could sign Hudson cheaper than Pouncey's expected future contract.
They represent $66 million against this year's cap..... $76 million if you include Grimes' contract.
I know I sure as HELL could figure out a better f***ing way to spend $76 million a year than this collectively underwhelming pile of ****. :pity:
That $76 million should be used for adding a handful of MAJOR IMPACT PLAYERS who change games & form the cornerstone of the team, and then the rest rounded out with BARGAINS who provide great value and outproduce their contracts, not an entire goddam list of overpaid players who aren't even CLOSE to being worth their collective price tag. Pathetic, just pathetic.Boik14, danmarino and shamegame13 like this. -

That's the gist of it really. We're walking into a strip club with a finite amount of dollar bills, yet Ireland & Hickey are makin' it rain on the ugly girl in the corner with the stumpy leg, one boob significantly smaller than the other, and a pack of Marlboro Reds tucked into her garter. And you're like, "DUDE, She'll keep dancing for a nickel!! Save some of that for the hotties on center stage!!" So I've heard.
I mean think about it: For what we've been paying Matt Moore, Brandon Fields, Nate Garner, and Brian Hartline to do [which is basically nothing], we could've had Louis Vasquez, Connor Barwin, and Emmanuel Sanders....... or Jairus Byrd & Eric Decker.MrClean, Boik14 and shamegame13 like this. -

I think if you're not going to draft a guy, Travis Kelce is who you look at getting. I'd gladly trade a second rounder for him.

Patrick Willis convert to a 4-3 or convert the defense to a 3-4?
