In fact, there was no intelligence used at all. After not bending the knee to Cousins, Kwesi is finally able to do what he do. The results thus far have been fascinating at the very least and some of the free agents have been good gets IMO. I like the Greenard, Cashman, Van Ginkel, and Aaron Jones signings. The Darnold signing is aight I guess. The Quessenberry, Brandel, Bullard,...

Who will backup Brock Purdy?

Who will backup Brock Purdy?

Photo by Megan Briggs/ The backup quarterback market is drying up quickly. Late Monday night, a report surfaced that the Minnesota Vikings, who had been eyeing him for some time, agreed to a one-year deal with former San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Sam Darnold for $10 million. If you were wondering whether the Niners will get a comp pick, Darnold’s contract cancels out with Leonard Floyd’s deal. Brock Purdy needs a backup, and the longer the Niners wait, the more likely it is that they’d need to trade for somebody or draft a quarterback in the later...

Report: Vikings plan to target Sam Darnold

Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ The 49ers are hoping that Darnold signs a “big” contract The Minnesota Vikings were busy on Monday morning. The latest news they’ve been linked to involves the San Francisco 49ers. According to The Athletic’s Diana Russini, the Vikings plan to pursue Sam Darnold after losing Kirk Cousins in free agency to the Atlanta Falcons. Somehow, Darnold is still on 26. He’s played a lot of football, and you are afforded these types of opportunities when you are the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft. The Niners hope that...

Zach Wilson has the third-highest odds to sign with the 49ers during free agency

Photo by Megan Briggs/ A different top quarterback from the 2021 NFL Draft class The San Francisco 49ers head into this offseason with stability at quarterback — at least with their starter. Brock Purdy needs a backup, as Sam Darnold and Brandon Allen are free agents. Signing Darnold last offseason was somewhat out of left field. And it was evident that Kyle Shanahan wanted Darnold, as he was signed on the first day of free agency. Will we see a similar situation this year? The 49ers swung and missed on the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. After fielding the...
