00:00the only leverage that the 49ers have in this situation is uh is what father time correct
00:06oh wow just like wait him out well i don't think it's gonna get to that yeah um but but
00:12uh and if
00:13you're just joining us trent williams um my guess i'm gonna say my guess my guess is he had his
00:19agent
00:19give a little ringy dingy over there to adam schefter um and this is not an accident in my
00:25opinion that this came out an hour and a half before john lynch speaks at the combine they
00:31wanted to create the q a for lynch and they did it very very well and they said boy the
00:37two sides
00:37are struggling to come to an agreement because there's no more guaranteed money on trent's
00:42contract he's got one year left huge cap hit um niners are probably asking him to take a little
00:48bit of a haircut he might even be willing to do that that means though the niners also need to
00:53tack on another year they're probably arguing over what that money is both sides drive a really
00:59hard bargain especially in february because it's early so it hasn't gone well as of yet the two
01:04sides haven't said what the other side wants to hear and so you arrive at this and we'll get i'm
01:11sure a soundbite here real soon um but of all the things i've read about this here's the sentence that
01:18i think is the one that plays and it's courtesy of nick wagner who covers the 49ers for espn
01:24in a lengthy tweet he writes all the stuff there's this there's that here's the implications and then
01:32he gets to the last sentence there simply isn't a good football or financial reason for san francisco
01:38to part ways with trent williams so they won't right and the only leverage they would have is this
01:46this lasted forever and you're looking at trent being like dude you're 38 we're gonna do sit out
01:52a season probably be the end of your career if you did that and he's done it before and it
01:58worked
01:58out for him and the other leverage they would have is if they were picking like fourth or fifth in
02:03the
02:03draft right then you could say oh go ahead sit out all you want we've got our eyes on louis
02:09big fella
02:10who's uh the left tackle out of ohio where does he play oh you know what i mean you could
02:15take the
02:15top tackle in the draft if you were picking like top four top five and i was looking at some
02:20mocks
02:20earlier and i think the first tackle off the board is like five or six it's pretty far up the
02:26draft
02:26they're not going to be able to get a really really good left tackle and again it's the draft you
02:32have
02:32one of the best left tackles ever you may have the best left tackle ever and he's still playing at
02:38a
02:38high enough level to where yeah you have almost no leverage if you're the niners because you've had
02:44him here he's played here he's been amazing and when he plays and he's healthy you win games it's that
02:51easy caden proctor that's the guy i was talking about the guy yeah alabama um he's probably mocked
02:58to go like five or six six foot seven three 69 uh that's trent ish i think that's bigger maybe
03:07heavier yeah he's even bigger than trent wow so yeah you're not getting him right so you'll be gone
03:13and even if you get him and i don't know the young man but he might not be any good
03:19and you know that
03:20trent williams is amazing even now at this age so you're not gonna mess around with that you're not
03:26gonna you know go ahead and try to let's see if we could trade trent or you know try to
03:30alienate him
03:31or freeze him out you're kind of stuck you're over a barrel and he knows it um you are uh
03:36but at the
03:37same time like i said the niners are also probably looking at this being like you really want to
03:42you know what i mean you really want to you really want to not play at age 38 i don't
03:47think it's going
03:47to get there there's a very specific reason why this is happening in february as opposed to august it
03:53happened in august was that last year or the year before year before the year before when trent and
03:57the niners had a little holdout situation right um and the reason it's happening here now is of this
04:0433 million that everyone keeps talking about 10 million of it is in the fall form of like a roster
04:11bonus and it's going to get paid out on april 1 and so they got to figure this out before
04:16then
04:16because if they were going to do something else trade him release him whatever you're going to do that
04:23before you're going to pay out that 10 million on april 1 but that's like again if you were to
04:28move
04:29on from trent williams you're talking about um like there's still and this gets in the weeds i know but
04:34there's voidable years still on his contract and that all accelerates into a huge dead cap figure
04:41which the niners are have no interest in in paying that so let me look at it again because we're
04:48all
04:48niner fans right i know some of you aren't but like from the perspective of the team let's look at
04:53it here are your options you could lose trend in any form even if you trade whatever you could lose
05:00tread and then you get a big dead cap figure 34 million okay so how right and then and slash
05:09who's
05:10your left tackle nick's a cow okay austin pleasance so and then the other option is
05:16you figure it out those are your options right what do you think they're gonna do they're gonna
05:23figure it out yeah because they don't have the other solution and already you're dealing with the
05:28brandon iuke dead cap hit that's going to come and depending on how you designate his release and i do
05:34believe he'll be released it's either going to be spread over two years or one year and that's already
05:38coming and it's not 34 million it's 20 something million and that's not going to be very comfortable
05:43luckily the niners are set up to where they have a lot of cap room right now but you mentioned
05:49it
05:49before and man you've been talking a lot of hockey this week talking about five holes they've got at
05:54least five holes on this team yeah yep but and who wants to create another one this would be the
06:01biggest hole of them all absolutely you need a pass rusher a left tackle and a quarterback
06:05granny what's up well you're talking about the the bonus that he's due april 1st 10 million dollars
06:10and then you're talking about how there has to be a decision made before that the niners probably
06:14want that one thing to note if they were to cut him which i think is incredibly unlikely they would
06:20be incentivized to do it after june first sure a pre-june first cut would save them only about 4
06:26.7
06:27million against the cap this season if they were to cut him post june first that number skyrockets to
06:32above 25 million for this year so if they were to cut him which i don't think they're going to
06:36do
06:36that would likely come post june first they would already would have paid out the 10 million dollar
06:40bonus but they would be saving still a bunch on the back end well while we got you uh just
06:44so i know
06:45because this is all in real time how are we uh are we monitoring john lynch and keep an eye
06:51on stuff
06:51haven't seen anything yet haven't seen anything yet okay so let us know go ahead and break in
06:55if john lynch trades trent williams to the dolphins got it yeah i'll hit the breaking news
07:00sound perfect it's a thingamabob if he if he's a dolphin or something like that same thing applies
07:05for brandon iuk post june first versus pre-june first and they owe him uh the dead cap is 29
07:11.6
07:12if they do it post june first then you uh spread that over two years and so i think with
07:17brandon iuk
07:18that's going to be the way that goes you designate it as post june first it's an 8 million hit
07:23this
07:23year it's 21 million next year just dead cap he's gone you chalk it up to a bad decision and
07:30a
07:30mistake that you made and then you're on to cincinnati you have no choice now no you don't
07:35i mean your other choice would be to try to save it but that thing's not savable right
07:41yeah make that noise again that's a gut punch it's a tough one yeah especially considering how it all
07:48played out it was a whole summer they say they don't want me and then all the rest of it
07:53and
07:53kyle running up the stairs and saving the deal and then iuk and he doesn't want to play he doesn't
07:58want to get better he's not around he won't take your phone calls my god yeah that's one of those
08:04that i i just think there's two kinds of bad decisions in life so there's the one where you're
08:09like well who the hell could have seen that coming and then there's the other one where there's people
08:15surrounding you going how many times did i tell you that if you do this this is what's going to
08:22happen and unfortunately for the niners this iuk thing is the second one like who the hell couldn't
08:29see this coming i'm not saying we could see the brandon iuk was going to like have new youtube videos
08:35speeding by levi's and go super duper a wall that that i i don't know about that part but the
08:42whole
08:43like this is not going well and i think you probably could do better with a second round draft
08:50pick and figure you've already get like you just picked a first round receiver in the most recent
08:57draft why don't you just kind of lean into him why don't you move on why don't you not do
09:0230 million
09:03for brandon iuk it was as clear as day clear as day and then they went and did it anyway
09:11so this one
09:12very very much like the niners and brandon iuk for me all the same feels of parenting a teenager
09:19i like told you i've been sitting here telling you 800 times you know but but you don't listen
09:28so they get what they get yeah i was just thinking about i think it was jason pierre paul
09:33with the fireworks and uh his hand right and lost some fingers like i mean i wonder how many times
09:39people were like i don't know bro i don't know about uh you know fireworks i don't know if that's
09:43such a good idea and you know there were so many signs on this one with iuk that maybe he
09:48was not
09:49going to be cut out to be that guy and boy i would love if i you know i think
09:54all of us have that
09:55whole like king of the world for just five minutes thing boy did you see javante williams
10:01the running back for the cowboys got a new deal okay this happened over the weekend and he had a
10:07really good year he rushed for over 1200 yards i think he scored 11 touchdowns he was productive in
10:15ways that people did not think he would be he was one of the few bright spots of the dallas
10:20cowboy
10:20season javante williams so they gave him a new three-year deal and i'm like all right
10:24three-year deal for a clear lead 1200 yard back you know how nfl deals work you don't always get
10:33all
10:34the money but let's say he does okay let's say over those three years he gets all of the money
10:40that's
10:41on that full three-year deal if he does that over three years he will make barely more than half
10:52of what jamar chase makes in a year wow receivers man this makes sense to anyone
11:00yeah it does it does it does because running backs are mostly other than the really really really good
11:07ones they're mostly like players that you can trade in and trade out and you can not lose a lot
11:13of
11:13productivity i don't know if i agree with that well i think you could look at around the league and
11:18even
11:19the super bowl champs so you have you know k9 kenneth walker and zach charbonnet super bowl mvp right he
11:26had a great game but if they move off of him and they bring in somebody somebody else somebody younger
11:33somebody cheaper they're probably not going to lose that much productivity okay but but that like
11:38to the point where the receiver makes 40 and the running back makes eight no the receiver should
11:43make 40 yeah but that's what i'm getting at i'd like i'm with you if i had got to keep
11:48kenneth walker
11:48or jackson smith and jigba yeah i want jackson smith and jigba at the same time the previous year super
11:54bowl champ the philadelphia eagles how'd they do it you can keep your aj brown reading books on the
11:59sideline give me saquon like he was absolutely the most important part of their season he was and then
12:05this year he wasn't right and it's because the coordinator didn't want to give him the ball or he was
12:09not
12:10you know the same player that he was the year before maybe both and so i just think with running
12:14backs especially it is such a slippery slope of you know you have a great year and we use you
12:20a lot and
12:21then it's hard to back that thing up
