Moves are happening around the league!"chise player George Kittle Jersey , defensive end Frank Clark, to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2019 first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick and an exchange of third-round picks this year, per Adam Schefter. The deal is worth 5-years, $105 million. Whew.It will be tough for Seattle to replace a talent like Clark, but you can make a pretty strong argument that this works out better for the Seahawks from a money standpoint. They are not financially handicapped, and can maneuver down in the draft and add a couple more players. Two draft picks give the Seahawks a better chance than Clark at this price-tag. The thing for Seattle is, you better hope those picks perform. Because if that first round busts, this could come back to bite you.Arguments have been made that Kanas City was too prisoner of the moment. Trading a first round pick is huge. Having to pay that first round pick big boy money right away makes it even tougher.Naturally, a lot of this is circling back to Dee Ford, the San Francisco 49ers edge rusher. Here’s how Ford compared to Clark the last couple of years: The 49ers acquired Ford with a future second round pick that is not going to be anywhere near as valuable as this years second rounder. They are the real winners here.

I won’t say a hero, ‘cause what’s a hero? ... But sometimes. There’s a man who K'Waun Williams Color Rush Jersey , well, he’s the man for his time’n place, he fits right in there. And that’s the Dude.. “And in the movie, that man was The Dude. But for the 49ers, in 2017, that man was C.J. Beathard.You see, when Shanahan and Lynch took over the 49ers in early 2017, the team was inshambles, and there wasn’t a single QB on the roster. Now, they quickly signed Brian Hoyer, but he was a journeyman. A retread. And did nothing to inspire the long suffering fan base. But then, a light. Thanks to shrewd manuevering by Lynch and Shanahan in the 3rd round of the 2017 draft - a hero was born: C.J. Beathard. A swashbuckling, mustachioed QB from Iowa Univerity, with the reflexes of an injured water buffalo, and arm strength comparable to your Uncle Frank throwing a wet nerf football in the above ground pool at the family BBQ, while simultaneosly balancing a bottle of Coors Light on his belly.And just like that https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Marquise-Goodwin-Jersey , the fan base was reinvigorated. Energized. We waited patiently. And then, it happened. In week 6, Beathard charged onto the field - replacing a struggling Brian Hoyer - and lead the 49ers and new coach Kyle Shanahan... to their sixth straight loss of the season. But he didn’t stop there. Beathard then proceed to place the entire team on his back, and carry them to three straight additional defeats by a combined score of 93-30. And yet, the fanbase remained loyal. And in week 10, we were rewarded, as CJ lead a ragtag bunch of Aldrick Robinson’s and Legar Douzables to a 31-21 victory over the 1-7 Giants, securing the first win of the Shanahan/Lynch era, and securing his own spot in 49ers lore forever. So. Is CJ Beathard a hero? Well, I won’t say a hero, because what is a hero? But sometimes. Well, sometimes there’s a man. And in three months, when the 49ers inevitably trade or release him, I’ll always remember that there was a time in 2017 - for however brief it was - that CJ Beathard was that man.
