There is no other choice, the good thing is Allen is here for the long run.

I read restructuring Allen this season will free up 23M alone.

That's true but all those restructures do is kick the can down the road. If we want to move on from Diggs as early as next year all the restructuring we've done will end up being a dead cap hit at some point that we'll have to eat. Allen is fine he'll be here forever but what about guys like Knox (I hear he's making more than Travis Kelce), Dion Dawkins is getting older, pretty soon all these restructures are going to bite us in the ass. Just fill in the spots you need after the restructures with drafted talent and get out of the restructure hell!

We're 50M over the cap and already signing Derrick Henry, Terry Mclauren and Mike Evans.

We will get our SB 1 day but ....

I mean they could always give him a pay cut and they will again most definitely be restructuring guys like Dawkins/Diggs/Allen etc in order to create more room. But I disagree about leaving things as is, I think we have a strong bunch of core players we just need to stay healthy. We'll be losing a bunch of players this year but I think Beane has done a really good job finding talent all throughout the draft so I think we'll be alright. I'm sure they'd make that decision if it came down to it but I'd rather keep our star players than just cut them for no reasoning, Tre was starting to turn into his old self before the injury so before I old yeller him out by the pasture I'd like to see if the old dog has anything left.

I mean we have an offensive Coordinator for that.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to see where he's at before cutting him? He was an vital piece of our defense pretty much since he's been drafted and has been nothing short of a great leader back there, I think he deserves better than "let's cut his ass now". The hot takes are running wild on here!!!

I'm not going to roast those who don't like McDermott, sometimes he makes me question things also but I want to know who you think is the best candidate to take over for McDermott? A realistic option. For me it would have been Jim Harbaugh, that is the only guy I would have wanted here over our current HC. I don't like Harbaugh's personality at all, I think he comes off very smug and a better than you are mentality but he's a winner no matter where he goes and the players always want to play for him. Just putting any Offensive coach here doesn't make sense imo but I'd like to know who you think would be better.

I think people are being way too critical imo, I realize we're sick of the Chiefs winning SB's and all but the difference of winning dynasties is not only talent but lady luck on your side as well. The ball on the KR hitting the guys foot and the botched XP were the games deciding factors. Until that point the 49ers defense was smothering Mahomes, Kelce was over on the sidelines practically knocking his coach over, they were frustrated and then that happened. Who knows if they make the XP there is no way of telling if Mahomes gets the go ahead TD (it was 4th and goal) and if they dont score they lose the game. It reminded me alot of the Brady lead SB's, when Pete Carroll decided to throw and the 1 inch line instead of running in the TD, maybe not as bad as that obviously but those are the costly mistakes that lose you games. I thought Purdy played a good game but the real SB MVP should be the Chiefs secondary, the best yardage total by a WR was 49 yards from Aiyuk. I didn't see anything in Shannahan's game that looked like he choked and even the Chiefs WR who caught the TD to win the SB didn't even know he won it all so it's not unprepared but that's just my opinions.

Don't quote me on this but I could have sworn i heard that Hines will be back next year, he filed something with his lawyer stating he wouldn't come after the Bills for money (I believe a greivance or something along those lines were filed since he was injured) that the Bills can't just cut him outright but he'll be given a chance to make the team in training camp, whther they cut him after that is their right or not so he will be given a chance to still make the team.

No they just had I think 12 rookies either this year or last starting for them when Mahomes contract hit.

When you start paying your talent and have a franchise QB, this is what you have to do.

I believe I'd re-sign Shaq Lawson, Jordan Phillips and Poona Ford on the cheap. I'd also try and get Leonard Floyd back on a 1 year deal. I'd let all the rest walk, AJ Epenesa had 6.5 sacks and I really like Daquan Jones but at his age and the price tag that he's about to get just wont be worth it.

Positives can also come in the form of health, it's not an excuse but a healthy Milano, healthy Tre and maybe at least an upgraded version of Von Miller compared to the non factor we saw all year could definitely be a plus. I'm not sure if Tre will ever be the same player but imagine if Tre came back and paired with Douglas, man that would be awesome. Again who knows how it all turns out but I know it's something I'm looking forward to next year!

I'm truly sorry to hear the bad news, everything you said was truth and well said. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I dont understand why teams dont double and triple team Kelce. Why wouldn't you do this?

I'm excited to see what his system looks like, he was literally let go because he was too pass heavy in Carolina who wanted a more balanced attack. I thought he did an excellent job with another coordinators playbook with a few of his ideas thrown in. The entire offense clearly liked his style/approach because they turned things around fairly quickly imo.

Players get a pass?

I don't see a reason why McDermott would give up his DC position, I thought he did an outstanding job with even guys who basically came off the couch. When you're a team who makes it to the playoffs every year unfortunately you're going to lose people. Unless McDermott can't handle both jobs at once I'd hope he'd again be our DC, the only thing holding us back this past year was injuries imo. Anyone who takes over will be running a version of McDermotts defense in some way, shape or form so I'd rather it just be the man himself imo.

I like Shakir a lot as far as his improvements go, he really solidfied himself as another viable option for Allen but I don't see him as a #2 WR, great hands shifty WR (much like Davis) but doesn't have the speed you'd like to see or in my opinion the route tree... YET! But I think he will fill that Cole Beasley role with Kincaid for mismatches on the field. We still need to find that guy in the draft imo.

This is 2024 sports journalism at it's finest! Tell your head coach we're looking for someone better? I can get behind some of what he said but you can tell he is going out of his way to get views/clicks or just flat out doesn't like McDermott. Another tasteless piece by a mediocre journalist in my opinion.

My hope is: ST coach is gone, we need much better at this spot. I'd love for Sean McDermott to take a step back as DC and hire Ron Rivera, I think he's a top notch DC. Hire Joe Brady as the OC, I'd really like to see what he can do since the offense really seemed to click well under him.
