It wasn't about Ellerbe it was about one year of Q vs being able to sign a player long term

We were going to cut him. Getting any picks at all was a good job, the 49ers probably didn't want to have to bid on him in FA so they gave one of their many draft picks away

Cruz has to accept the deal... He's not going to agree to 4 million

Ozzie is doing what he always does, waiting and building the best team possible by simply being patient.

It may not be Doss that gets the majority of the playing time, we have a lot of young receivers and they have shown flashes. I for one feel like Laquan could become a solid piece for us.

I'm sorry, not trying to poke fun, but these kind of statements always make me laugh. Anyone can be great at anything on the internet, and normally when you have to proclaim yourself as great, you aren't

We were about to cut him, and then end up getting what amounts to a free 6th round pick. Ozzie knows what he's doing

Well I suppose Peyton Manning should have been dumped after his first season. He threw over 20 picks!

Man all this doom and gloom reminds me of... Every other offseason. Fans always freak out and talk about how we can NEVER be as good as we were when we had "so and so". We always make moves, and it always works out.

You seem to think that a team must have a back up of equal or better quality for every position. You have expressed the same sentiment about not having a player as good as Boldin on the roster to replace him. Sadly, the NFL doesn't work this way. You can't fill every spot on a team with a pro bowler, that's why you have to have a good TEAM to compete. We lose players every year and we replace them every year. So far the track record is that if we have Joe, we will be in the playoffs and have a chance to win every year. It's time that we continue to build our young core instead of keeping our old veterans past their prime.

Alright, this is just derailing the topic. I guess we won't know anything until Tuesday at the earliest.

You in response to Boldin not being on the team this year

But how are we supposed to do that if they don't get playing time in the regular season? You act like these are guys that have underperformed in the league for years.

To everyone bagging on our young WRs (Doss, Laquan, Streeter, Thompson); don't you remember Torrey? He had a disappointing training camp and preseason, some were already labeling him a bust, others were saying he would never be more than a speed guy who would come in for go routes. Then he gets a shot to start a game because one of our WRs who we assumed was better got hurt. Everyone knows what happened that day. I'm not saying I don't want Boldin, I do. I will be very disappointed if we lose him. I'm simply saying to let others have a shot before you write them and the team off. Sometimes it's all about confidence, and in the case of someone like Torrey all it took was one game for him to become the WR we were looking for.

Streeter was placed on IR because he was a project. There was no way he was ready to play in the NFL. Pretty everyone agrees that Jacoby is a 3, no one is suggesting he be our other starting WR.
