Defensive tackle is a position the 49ers could use help

on in theory Cheap DeForest Buckner Jersey , but may not be the best use of resources to bring anyone in. Well, at least splash, big name, expensive signing. The team has DeForest Buckner for one thing. They also have D.J. Jones who gained significant playing time as the season wore on, forcing Earl Mitchell out of a job. There’s also Solomon Thomas. Once again—he’s not a bust. He’s seeing the field and the 49ers are looking into how to make him a better piece in the defense for 2019. Given all the personal grief Thomas has had to deal with, he has a shot at turning things around. So what do the 49ers do? As Kyle Shanahan says, if they can help the team, he’ll bring them in. The defensive tackle class has some nice names but positional fit (3-4 vs. 4-3) is something to consider. The first one is at the very top in Ndamukong Suh. He could be a great piece whether it’s a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense. He also isn’t coming to San Francisco. It’s just not happening. Kyle Williams is also technically a free agent from the Buffalo Bills, but he announced his retirement, so cross that name off the list also. Good potential names are Sheldon Richardson who is finishing up with the Vikings. While he’s been unable to replicate that solid 2014 season he had with the Jets http://www.49erscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-kyle-juszczyk-jersey , Richardson could provide ample backup opportunity in case of injuries or if Thomas is declared someone the 49ers want to phase out. Another name to look at is Haloti Ngata. While he’s getting up there in age, Ngata played with 49ers defensive line coach Kris Kocurek while the two were in Detroit. Given that they have history, it could be an easy transition to put him into a backup role of sorts. Ngata isn’t an answer on the defensive line, but he could be used more of a leadership role to the young players on the line, not unlike Richard Sherman. Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers have a 4-3 DT that may be worth a workout. Darius Philon had some solid production in 2018 and was one of the better tackles on the Chargers line. The problem is, Philon played well enough that the Chargers could look to put him into more of a starting role, coming to San Francisco might mean sharing more time with Thomas and others. Of course if he won the training camp battles, that would be moot. Earl Mitchell’s book is not closed on the 49ers either. While he was informed the team would not pick up his 2019 option, all signs point to the team willing to bring him back on a reduced deal. This means he is free to test out the free agent market http://www.49erscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-earl-mitchell-jersey , and if nothing appealing catches his eye, return to the team. Here’s your free agent defensive tackles in the league per Over the Cap. I’ve also listed whether they are a 3-4 or a 4-3 DT based on OTC’s spreadsheet. Things could change with franchise tags and deals, but all of the below have contracts expiring.Would you be interested in any of these guys coming to Santa Clara? Defensive TacklesPlayerPositionTeamAgePlayerPositionTeamAge A week ago, rumors started circulating that the Oakland Raiders were looking to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper and safety Karl Joseph, among others. This past weekend, there were reports the Raiders were ready to deal anybody if the price was right.It looks like we have the first deal. The Raiders are trading Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN’s Josina Anderson. It appears to be for a first round pick, according to Adam Schefter. That’s a steep price, but he is a significant upgrade to their wide receiver depth chart. Their leading pass catcher is Cole Beasley, with 33 receptions for 350 yards and two touchdowns. It’s been a mess in Dallas http://www.49erscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-joe-staley-jersey , and while some blame rests on Dak Prescott’s shoulders, some rests on the personnel department.Cooper is on track to surpass his numbers last season, but would fall well short of his first two seasons, when he had back-to-back seasons over 70 catches and 1,000 yards. Derek Carr has been a mess of late, and the Raiders as a whole are a disaster this season.The San Francisco 49ers need help at wide receiver, but a first round pick in 2019 would not make any sense given how high the pick is likely to be. The Raiders now have three first round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft: their own pick, and those of the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears (Khalil Mack). Considering they’ll already be drafting near the top, they have some serious options.
