I wouldn't hate the move as a temporary fix...they could then wait to get a CB in next year's draft and focus on O-line, pass rush, and other needs this draft.

I think Talib would give us solid production for a year or two, and he does have post season and Super Bowl experience.

That would give them a really solid secondary going into 2018. An edge rusher away from a good defense.

Ian Rapoport expects Jimmy G to sign a deal "within a couple days" barring any snag

The San Francisco 49ers might very well be closing in on a contract extension with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Over the weekend, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport was hearing the two sides had significant momentum going.

On Monday, he took it a step further, telling KNBR’s Murph & Mac that he thought a deal could be expected “in a couple days,” barring any unforeseen negotiating snag.

“Yea, I think it’s getting pretty close to getting done. You know, barring some sort of negotiating snag, I would expect this in a couple days, pretty close. I don’t think they’re at a point where they’ve reached an agreement, but it sounds like it’s getting there. A multi-year deal, lucrative, big money, top quarterback money. I’m not sure it’s gonna be Derek Carr, but I would imagine it’s gonna be right around there.

”From what it sounds like, too — negotiations are hard — this does not seem like it was a hard one. And I think part of that is because everybody wants the same thing in this case.”

Rapoport had said over the weekend that a deal “could get done in the near future.” Moving that up to “in a couple days” is certainly a bold statement.

Would be good to get a deal early so that they know how much they can allocate to other free agents.  I think “Carr money” is pretty reasonable too considering what Cousins might get. 

Really looking forward to 2018. Haven’t been able to say that for a while.
