Before Stephen Gostkowski signed a new contract with the Patriots Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey , there was word that the 49ers were interested in the veteran kicker.The team has a veteran kicker of its own, but Robbie Gould has neither signed his franchise tag nor given an indication of when he might join the team. The interest in Gostkowski suggested the 49ers were open to pulling the tag and moving on without Gould.At his Monday press conference, 49ers General Manager John Lynch confirmed the team did “due diligence” on Gostkowski and said he thinks the word of their interest “quickly got the Patriots to lock him down.” He also said Gould is going to be the team’s kicker whenever he does decide to report to the team.“Robbie’s a guy who works extremely hard at his craft,” Lynch said Nick Mullens Color Rush Jersey , via the . “And by virtue of his position, he can do that wherever he is. He can do it in Santa Clara. He can do it in Chicago … Robbie is going to be a part of us this coming year, I know that.”Gould is second all-time in field goal percentage with Gostkowski just behind him. Other available options don’t have that track record, which makes it unlikely Lynch will change his tune.

PDTShareTweetShareShareWhich 49ers backup quarterback would youtrade? Jimmy Garoppolo is the San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback. That much is known. What we don’t know is who is backup will be, and what will happen to who isn’t designated as the backup. We’ve had our speculations and predictions as to who could win the competition. Some think Nick Mullens was a flash in the pan after the Oakland Raiders game. Others think C.J. Beathard is what he is https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Steve-Young-Jersey , and offers little upside. In answering a recent question, Matt Maiocco offered some thoughts on who the 49ers could trade away if a team was interested. The answer to the question is our discussion: This isn’t a matter of who will win the backup battle, that argument has gone back and forth for awhile. Rather than that, which quarterback would you trade away? If Mullens is in position to win the backup battle Y.A. Tittle Jersey , but a team were to make an offer, would you be fine with trading him and hanging with Beathard? I’d trade C.J. Beathard, even if he won the competition. The reasoning is that the coaching staff has moved on from him twice. Once to usher in the era of Garoppolo and the other because Nick Mullens played well enough in one game that the bench was appropriate. The trade would be more for the mental game if anything. If Beathard won the backup battle and clearly was the better QB, but a team came calling Joe Montana Color Rush Jersey , I’d be open to a deal in a heartbeat. Or would you be fine with trading Mullens and keeping Beathard because of the time invested in his development? Even if he were the better quarterback, would you trade him and keep Beathard for maybe a better offer? Obviously compensation plays a lot into this on who you’d choose, but it’s a fun thing to think about. Which 49ers backup quarterback would you trade?
