They can free up some good space cutting Hoyer and Brisset if they sign a vet and then draft a QB.

I'm bummed that the first day of the draft won't be that exciting for me.
But that's it. This guy is elite, and never seems to miss games.

I hope Ballard and the FO did the math and believe this guy still has upward potential or that he can maintain elite level of play for the better part of the duration of his contract.
Also, It’s not like Buckner chose to come here in FA. I would be off put if I was a west coast kid who negotiated to stay in SF after working my ass off and now I’m going to the fucking Midwest and playing with a team that in large part is a question mark. Is he the type of guy who is going to buy in regardless? Was he that guy but this changes him? What has Ballard seen outside of the tape that makes this a positive culture fit that matches not only the fiscal value of the contract but the potential value of a first round pick? |

Exactly. Yet some will still moan about it.

Well, I hate giving up that high of a pick, but I guess we just doubled the number of all-pros on the defense. And he is 26 so should be entering his prime.
Now we just need some better receivers and someone to throw them the ball. |

The Colts are my number 1 team, no question about it. The 49ers are my second favorite team because my dad and son are die hard niner fans. So I watch a lot of 49er games, and Buckner is a beast. There will be no one as good as him at #13 in the draft. Great job by Ballard. Absolutely love this!

I read elsewhere that this deal has been in the works since the Super Bowl.
Also, Mike Florio claims to have the contract numbers here: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-buckner-deal/ If this is true, then it's a five-year deal (I've heard it referenced as a four-year extension elsewhere - presumably in recognition of the fact that he was already under contract for next year prior to the trade). And it looks like the real guarantees are all in the first three years. By the way, what's with this Mike Florio guy? I think he sucks. Seems to be a Patriot apologist, and always subtly putting down the Colts. After reading the article, you might come away with the impression that Buckner was a leftover player that the 49ers no longer wanted or needed following the Armstead signing - yet the idiot Colts were willing to spend a 1st and sign him to a mega contract. |
