I have been reading and hearing from local fans that the 9ers may be losing at least one of their lineman and may have trouble retaining others due to pay demands and cap space. Any thoughts?

Well, they are a division rival of the hawks and it could affect the play of the hawks in at least 2 games a year. That is why i wanted a discussion and input from people on this board more savvy than me or who might be following this sitch more closely. :les:
i don't really know what any of your generalizations mean, but if you want me to give you the status of the OLine real quick I can..Clayfighter":6mk37zzi said:I have been reading and hearing from local fans that the 9ers may be losing at least one of their lineman and may have trouble retaining others due to pay demands and cap space.

Staley and Anthony Davis, 49ers starting Tackles, are locked up thru 2017..
Iupati, the LG, is on the last year of his rookie deal.
Boone, the RG, was an UDFA and has subsequently outperformed any and all expectations. He was a ProBowl alternate the past 2 seasons. He has not reported to camp because he wants a new contract--- This doesn't hurt the 49ers all that much because everyone knew he was going to get paid once his contract expired, so now it's all about finding him an appropriate contract.
Our Center position has Martin, the rookie, and Daniel Kilgore competing for the starting role.
-----------------------
To sum up, the 49ers will probably lose Iupati after this season. I think the 49ers would rather throw money at Boone more so than Iupati. Boone will be cheaper since Iupati has the 1st round status and the ProBowl accolades.
Overall, there is a guarantee the 49ers will lose one of the starting guards next offseason. But, for this year, they will have everyone back. And next season will be returning 4/5 starters...
I'd say the 49ers are in good shape
Yeah, the 49ers were definitely fortunate Martin fell so far, but you have to wonder why other teams passed on him. He is only 20 years old, so he might need a couple years to develop, which is fine for the 49ers since they have enough talent on the OLine this season for him to sit and learn from the bench.Largent80":257zb4z2 said:Curious to see how Martin works out as I wanted him on the Hawks, just not a place for him.
That's how I feel.Meeker":1xj41uwe said:I've read Niners fans say that Iupati has regressed and isn't as good as some hype him to be...they wouldn't be sad to see him go as he will be overpaid.

You were thinking "Damn, I wish the 49ers could have signed Doug Baldwin" and just transposed a few letters. It's alright, we understand your jealousy.Marvin49":2beib5n0 said:Popeyejones":2beib5n0 said:^^^^ Goodwin, not Baldwin.![]()
wow...did I just do that? LOL. thnx. Dunno what I was thinking.
pretty redundant post seeing as how i said all of this only a couple posts before yoursMarvin49":3vm1xqat said:The lineman they lost is C Jonathan Baldwin. They didn't really "lose" him per se as much as they have decided not to resign him. He's still a FA.
They have been grooming Daniel Kilgore (and recently extended him) for that spot and also drafted Marcus Martin in the 3rd round.
Staley, Iupati, and Davis will all be back tho Iupati in his final year.
Boone back as well but looking for a pay raise that he deserves. Is being paid like a backup right now.
For depth, they draded for Jonathan Martin, already have Joe Looney, and drafted both Martin and Brandon Thomas (who will essentially redshirt this year).
Niners are in pretty good shape up front.
Jonathan Baldwin is a WR on the 49ers... that more likely caused the freudian slip than your theoryRolandDeschain":1tomxovr said:You were thinking "Damn, I wish the 49ers could have signed Doug Baldwin" and just transposed a few letters.
