Ok maybe this doesn’t need its own thread but the deadline is 5 weeks away. I know the next couple weeks will determine if we are buyers but let’s say we get to 5-2 do we make a move?

I really wish we still had Jakobi here but it sounds like a few guys might be available…

Brian Thomas Jr
Marvin Harrison Jr
Jerry Jeudy

Thoughts?

Kirk surprised me (probably most of us) with his play this year, but if we can get a haul for him, I'm all for it.

A play that did stick out to me was the bomb to Tucker (I think it was), Kirk seemed to chuck it with all he had and it came up 10 yards short for an INT. I remember thinking FM might have nailed that. I'd like to see FM start at some point this year just to get a jump on '27. Curious what Minny would be willing to give.

Another thought, Kirk may not be so keen on going back to MIN. Yeah he'd be reunited with his favorite WR, but Kubiak isn't there. He may not fit that system. Would he have a choice?

The coin does not concern itself with such trivial matters as something mundane like “trades.”

It slumbers in my man cave until next August when it will once again hear the siren call to prognosticate on the fickle nature of fortune in the NFL.

Moving Cousin's to a contender (the Vikings) would be the best for him. He's going to sit the bench when the Raiders lose a few more games and his season will be over. Send him to the Vikings (if they call) and make everyone happy.

I have a ton of Viking friends and they said they would give up a second round pick in a heart beat right now for Kirk. At the start of the year they told me Kirk would the 3rd string QB at best if he was on the Vikes.

Yes! Let’s hear what the coin has to say about this!

No thumbs up for you!

Our defense guarantees no playoffs, so trade Kirk get some draft capitol and let Mendoza start up the learning curve. Not in 27.

Plus he could fool us all and win right away. You never know.

...this, and I have to believe that he has just about maxed out the benefits of watching and pretending from the sidelines with his helmet on. ...the sooner he gets actual on the field reps and experience, the sooner we have a chance to have a lasting, meaningful season .

Not sure this has been posted: 49ers insider says Raiders owner is main holdup to Maxx Crosby blockbuster trade:
They were among the teams interested in a Crosby trade after the Baltimore deal fell apart, and Kawakami continues to say the interest from the 49ers remains very high in a deal. On the “49ers Plus Minus” podcast he co-hosts with the Athletic reporter Matt Barrows, Kawakami discussed the 49ers’ trade plans at length.

“If [the 49ers] are going to trade a first- or second-round pick, it’s going to be for a defensive end — I don’t think it’s going to be receiver, I definitely don’t think it’s going to be for a cornerback,” Kawakami said. “... I think, if you’re going to go get a starter who’s going to impact games, you know, right away, it’s going to be a defensive end.”
