The Las Vegas Raiders possibly give the 49ers the chance to keep the top of their depth chart right. Josina Anderson reported on Wednesday that the Raiders are expected to release RG Gabe Jackson after seven years at the club.
Performance did not drive the room. Jackson would earn $ 9.6 million next season, and his contract left zero dead money for Vegas to divorce him.
In fact, Jackson played very well for a strong Raiders offensive last year and started all 16 games. The two years before, he had started all 24 games he had played. An elbow injury limited him to 13 games in 2018, and a knee injury before the season kept him up to 11 games the following year.
Although the 49ers did not invest much in the RG spot during Kyle Shanahan’s tenure, last year it was enough to spend some of their limited resources to find a reliable player who could join as a starter. Brunskill to work as a reserve. This will improve the starting point and help their depth, which suffered badly last year when sustained injuries.
That would be a departure from the norm for San Francisco, but kicking tires on an available RG like Jackson could help get an offensive line needed.
