- Given that the San Francisco 49ers requested that Tom Brady come out of retirement the previous season, why not “finagle” a signing for Kirk Cousins this season?
On February 22, the hosts of “The Mackey & Judd” podcast suggested signing the four-time Pro Bowler and standout quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings to a contract that would benefit the franchise. Although there have been several rumors this offseason about Cousins teaming up with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, the primary roadblock is still the Niners’ $7.41 million salary cap excess.”For example, if we’re talking about $30 or $40 million annually, that’s something you could easily arrange with a sizable signing bonus. to assist the 49ers and have a modest cap hit for 2024, Phil Mackey, the podcast host, stated.In 2012 and 2013, Shanahan collaborated with Cousins during their time as Washington Redskins players. According to Alec Lewis of The Athletic, Shanahan attempted a trade for Cousins while serving as head coach of the 49ers in 2017.Should the Niners make a call. Done deal, according to Darren Wolfson of KTSP on the podcast “The Mackey & Judd.” “Now, their cap position is the biggest problem in the room. In what precise way are they producing the required cap space? Kirk wouldn’t even be trying to spend a fortune to play for Kyle Shanahan, in my opinion.
“I have always turned to him for advice and guidance. I really admire him, and it was a pleasure working with him. Since then, we have followed one another (during the Washington days).
“We also know what Kyle thinks of Kirk based on statements made in the past several years,” Wolfson continued. Kyle believes that Kirk is the world. I’m stuck in their cap predicament. Furthermore, are we certain that Kirk is an improvement over [Brock] Purdy?
Judd Zulgad, the podcast presenter, agreed with Wolfson that Cousins and the 49ers working together “can’t be fully eliminated” for 2024. “If Kirk is ever going to even get to the Super Bowl, this would be it,” Zulgad said of the 49ers’ circumstances.
