The 415ers

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi dive into the offseason quarterback carousel by reacting to a couple of high-priced quarterbacks that have already been taken off the market: Derek Carr has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Saints and Geno Smith will return to the Seattle Seahawks. Both are set to make $35 million or more per year. What do these deals mean for Jimmy Garoppolo and the rest of the quarterback market at the 49ers try to find the final piece of two of their quarterback room?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi dive into the free agency rumors that are starting to fly -- including about 49ers kicker Robbie Gould, who says he plans to be kicking elsewhere in 2023. Is Gould telling the truth, or is this just a negotiation tactic? Plus, the window to use the franchise tag is nearing a close -- will the 49ers utilize it this season?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch's comments at the NFL Scouting Combine from earlier this week.

(1:33) Lynch says that the 49ers may be involved in the quarterback market this offseason. What might he mean by that? Should the team be targeting a proven veteran who's past his prime? Or might the 49ers let the offseason quarterback carousel play out and then pick up a career journeyman that's left over once other teams have already solved their quarterback rooms? And can we glean anything about what Lynch, Kyle Shanahan, and the 49ers think about their current quarterbacks based on who they sign this offseason?

(17:17) Plus, Lynch directly commented on Jimmy Garoppolo, again shutting down the possibility of his return to San Francisco. Is there any reason to not believe him here? Also, Lynch discussed Trey Lance's important offseason and the desire to get him on the field. But will the 49ers actually follow through with those words, unless absolutely forced? Haven't the team's actions up to this point suggested that they are not sure Lance is capable to help them win games?

(31:21) The guys also revisit a conversation from last episode and discuss if Nick Bosa may have spoiled the 49ers' offseason plans. Does San Francisco expect Emmanuel Moseley to return next season? Plus, the NFLPA released its first-ever team report cards, in which 1,300 players graded their NFL franchise in a variety of categories. The 49ers finished in the top 10, but what else from these grades stand out?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi begin to focus on free agent decisions facing the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, discuss the latest reason for encouragement surrounding Brock Purdy, and debate the NFL's greatest conspiracy theory of the offseason: Tom Brady's potential return.

(1:32) Which 49ers' free agents will be the toughest to replace? Is Mike McGlinchey more valuable to San Francisco than Jimmie Ward? Who is even out there to step in at right tackle if McGlinchey moves on? Might Emmanuel Moseley be a roundabout solution to the 49ers if Ward signs elsewhere? And does Jimmy Garoppolo even appear on your radar when asked about important San Francisco free agents?

(16:32) Brock Purdy isn't physically imposing, but as The Athletic's Matt Barrows pointed out last week, he might have the right mental tools to succeed at quarterback at the NFL level. The guys introduce you to the S2 Cognition test, which is gaining momentum in football circles. Quarterbacks such as Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and -- you guessed it -- Brock Purdy have aced this test. Does this predict NFL success? And what does it mean for Purdy's future?

(31:07) Plus, the guys address the elephant in the room: a potential Tom Brady return (again) from retirement. Would the 49ers still be interested in Brady's services, if he does decide he still doesn't enjoy life after football? Is there a timeline on this from San Francisco's perspective or will Kyle Shanahan welcome Brady with open arms even if he decides to return one week before the regular season starts? Also, Carson Wentz is now on the market. The 49ers shouldn't be interested.
