Anyone have a guess when they move away from Ryan?   What is the date  17th to save the money?

17th is the date. That's when 10M roster bonus is due and that's when an additional about 7.2M of salary for 2023 is guaranteed. So this makes up 17.2M we can save if we cut him or trade him before the 17th...

Sometimes I wonder what is there to decide with Ryan at this point? He won't take a pay cut to be a backup. He won't retire. What are they truly waiting for?

Hate to see Okereke sign elsewhere. Leonard seems like one injury away from retirement.:(

 

It is what it is. Too much money into Leonard put us in this position. Unless you are the captain of the D and play MLB, you rarely see that kind of money thrown around to weakside LBs. At this point, we just hope Leonard can play all games of the season without any major setbacks.

I think it’s to see how the QB market fairs the first day of FA or so. Maybe a team gets desperate enough to come calling. Never know. There’s really no point in releasing him now as you gain nothing

Desperate team making them an offer they can't refuse?

Unfortunately we had too many prime time games to show off Matt Ryan's suckage, that a deal for him, IF it happens, will happen only AFTER he is released.

@stitchesThanks for creating this thread. I thought about creating one around 15 mins ago and got sidetracked. I'm just hoping we get a couple players today. I don't want to fall behind the 8-ball before FA officially starts when a lot of the valuable players are signed in theory today. 

You think Ballard is going to sign multiple guys on day 1 of tampering? League minimum deals like Tyquans don’t count either

I know, makes you wonder what is going on but I am pretty sure we are getting ready to cut him. Matt is such a pro's pro that we may wait until the last second. One thing about being a GM I would hate is cutting someone, especially a player that was once great.

If Peyton Manning can be released, anyone can be cut.

Yeah, we know we’ll have to cut him.  He’s just not going to retire and have to pay back some of his signing bonus.  If there’s no advantage to cutting him now rather than later, maybe he’s just additional obfuscation for our qb situation.  Never want everyone to know your plans, or they’ll tell Frank Reich…

I'm hoping to get Issac Seumalo on day 1 of tampering at least. If we don't, he'll be gone. He has the connection with Steichen from the Eagles and he fills a need at RG.

No difference.    The deadline is the 17th

Thanks. I hope Ballard releases him before FA then, otherwise we'll be putting ourselves at a disadvantage with significantly less cap space available. I don't see the point in keeping him until the 17th unless you believe those two days could be the difference between cutting him or him retiring.

Yeah. I can't figure out why they are waiting.    No way they will be able to trade him I don't think

Pretty sure they can cut him after June 1 too and save 13 million of that 17 they would have saved by Friday too

There are some rumors the 49ers might be interested in him but probably once he gets cut...

    • Thanks for the good wishes. I wish the same for your Vikings. Tough division game for them.   Mixed feelings on our QB. I can't deny Anthony is an amazing athlete, and he's shown flashes of what he can be. Some really wow throws, but misses some lay-up tosses. Seems very intelligent, and wants to win. I'm sure he's like most young Qb's trying to get used to  the speed and talent of NFL Defenses, and maybe being coached to stay in the pocket and not run as much as he did is giving him some trouble. I think 7 games is too few to tell how good or bad he might be eventually. I just hope he can keep healthy, and keep improving.
    • Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.    
    • You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.
    • What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields. 
    • I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
