NaVorro Bowman gives Deshaun Watson friendly advice

Former 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman took to Twitter to pass on some advice to Watson. He tells the Houston Texans quarterback to “get out of there.”

The Texans’ star quarterback is frustrated, and the team-player relationship may be beyond repair. Many expect Watson to eventually ask for a trade if the two sides cannot reconcile. Oddsmakers cite the 49ers with the fifth best chances of having Watson on the team’s roster at the start of the 2021 season.

David Carr ranks 49ers as the best landing spot for Watson

NFL Media analyst David Carr recently ranked his top four fits and starts for the disaffected Texan quarterback. At the top of the list were the 49ers, followed by the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and New York Jets.

Carr wrote:

Watson in the Bay Area would be a home run. Kyle Shanahan has been developing his plan since moving to San Francisco with more bootlegs, zone runs, QB-designed runs and RPOs, and knowing this, I can’t think of a better fit. A signal caller double threat to Watson’s ability is what this enhanced offense lacked.They have a group of good, young receivers (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne), a first-class tight ending (George Kittle) and an incredible run game so would be much better with Watson What makes this pairing viable is the fact that Jimmy Garoppolo’s contract is easy to renew as the 49ers would only get a $ 2.8 million dead-money hit if they released him, $ 24 million at the limit. I would put Watson’s 49ers in the NFC Championship Game every year. “

Peter King thinks 49ers should include a star player in exchange for Watson

NBC Sports’ Peter King joined 95.7 The Game on Tuesday and was asked what kind of compensation it might take to pry Watson away from the Texans. If the 49ers were interested, they would have to compete with other teams that have more to offer in terms of design capital. “The only way the 49ers can do this, in my opinion, is to convince them to be in love with Garoppolo,” said King, “and I don’t know if they can, and then trade three or four. [first-round picks] to even be competitive in this thing. And I just don’t know that Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch would say that’s very smart. “

Damon Bruce asked King if San Francisco might need a star player like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner or George Kittle to sweeten the offerings.

“That’s where I’d go if I were the 49ers, no matter how bad it hurt you,” King replied. “If they wanted him, they would probably have to include one or more of those players.”

Trent Baalke may still get a GM job

Trent Baalke may have been single-handedly responsible for creating one of the NFL’s most talentless rosters by the end of his run as general manager with the 49ers. He was impeached after the 2016 season and replaced by John Lynch.

Somehow, it looks like Baalke is about to get back a job as a general manager. He has served as interim GM of the Jacksonville Jaguars and NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo report that the team is expected to make it permanent.
