Here are other San Francisco 49ers-related storylines that might interest you – the Deshaun Watson edition.

NaVorro Bowman gives Deshaun Watson kind advice

Former 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman has taken to Twitter to ask for advice from Watson. He tells Houston’s Texas quarterback to ‘get out of there now’.

The Texans’ star full-back is frustrated, and the relationship between team and player can be irreparable. Many people expect Watson to eventually ask for a trade if the two parties cannot reconcile. Oddsmakers list the 49ers with the fifth best chance of having Watson on the team for the start of the 2021 season.

David Carr tops 49ers as best landing spot for Watson

NFL Media analyst David Carr recently ranked his top four passing and landing spots for the disgruntled Texans fullback. At the top of the list were the 49ers, followed by the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and New York Jets.

Carr wrote:

“Watson in the Bay Area will be a home. Kyle Shanahan has been developing his plan since moving to San Francisco with more bootlegs, zone runs, QB-designed runs and RPOs, and because I know it, I can not fit in better. This improved offense lacked a double threat signal-caller with Watson’s ability, they had a group of good, young receivers (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne), a leading team (George Kittle) and a ‘ an incredible running game that would be so much better with Watson.What makes this link achievable is the fact that it’s easy to get away from Jimmy Garoppolo’s contract, as the 49ers would only get a $ 2.8 million kill if “they would release him, which would save $ 24 million against the cap. I’ll stretch Watson’s 49ers in the NFC Championship every year.”

Peter King feels 49ers should include a star player for Watson

Peter King of NBC Sports joined 95.7 The Game on Tuesday and was asked what kind of compensation it might take to snatch Watson away from the Texans. If the 49ers are interested, they will have to compete with other teams that offer more in terms of draft capital. “The only way the 49ers can do that, I think, is to convince them to fall in love with Garoppolo,” King said, “and I do not know if they can do it, and then to trade three or four. not. [first-round picks] to even be competitive in this thing. And I just do not know that Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch would say that it is very clever. ‘

Damon Bruce asked King if San Francisco might need to include a star player like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner or George Kittle to soften the offer.

“This is where I would go if I were the 49ers, just as much as it would hurt you,” King replies. “If they wanted him, they would probably have to include one or more of the players.”

Trent Baalke could get another GM job

Trent Baalke was possibly single-handedly responsible for creating one of the NFL’s most talented individuals at the end of his run as general manager at the 49ers. He was sacked after the 2016 season and replaced by John Lynch.

Somehow it looks like Baalke is still looking for another general manager. He served as the interim GM of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media report that the team is expected to make it permanent.
