His account is more of an aggregator of news.

The person he was citing, Josina Anderson, is a legit NFL reporter with real connections.

Josina Anderson reports the market for free agent Alec Pierce "may be too much" for the Patriots, but that the 49ers "might pay it."

Field-stretcher Pierce would be a strong fit in the Patriots' offense, but they might believe he's not enough of an upgrade on their current Kayshon Boutte/Mack Hollins tandem to justify more than $30 million per season. The 49ers, meanwhile, could be tired of waiting for former first-rounder Ricky Pearsall to stay healthy. Pierce is predictably generating wide interest after the Colts surprisingly let him reach the open market, but he is still most likely to end up with a cap-flushed, receiver-desperate team like the Titans.

That would be a difference maker. Biggest problem with this would be, purdy throws most of his interceptions when he throws deep balls. He's more of a timing and intermediate route passer.

That would be beyond stupid after just blowing $30M a year on Aiyuk. No WR aside from maybe the top 3 are worth that kind of money; especially in our run first offense. At least for me; I'd never break that kind of bank on a WR. Can find good ones in every draft

Who hope we sign.

WR Alec Pierce 4 yrs $100 million, get him to fix what is desperately needed

WR Deebo Samuel 1 yr $6 million ( returner and gadget player extreme now )

TE Charlie Kolar 2 yrs $6 million he makes sense and has upside

RB Antonio Gibson 1 yr $2 million strong vet who contributes in a lot of ways, niner fans will love him

OL Liam Eichenberg 1 yr $4 million ( plays every position and knows the scheme coming from Miami, fights with a high draft pick at LG and can push to start at C

Edge Joseph Ossai 3 yrs $21 million, Kris Korocek new project.

Edge Sam Williams 2 yrs $10 million another new project, so much talent in the 2 edges I'm signing.

DT Sheldon Rankins 2 yr $8 million solid vet who still causes havoc

LB Kaden Elliss 2 yrs 18 million starter day 1

CB Chidobe Awuzie 1 yr $2 million finally some vet cb depth, Luter to 5th cb vs a rookie

S Christian Izien 1 yr $2 million very good player that will be cheap and is young, ST stand out but could start I believe.

I see 1 big splash then signing vets who are solid and youngings who we can teach better and fix like Ossai and Izien is sneaky good.

Thats why I seriously doubt they'd do it.

We gotta see the terms before getting worked out. IMO

Pearce is a damn good WR and didn't he lead the league in YAC last season? I'm good with whatever the 9ers do, at least Pearce isn't a troll like Aiyuk.

I'm not in favor of giving big money to any WR unless they're truly elite and even then I'd be hesitant,I would've never given the money to Aiyuk based on talent alone can we honestly say that Pearce is better than or even equal to Aiyuk?

If I'm spending that kind of money on a FA theres multiple positions I'd spend it on first.

Counterpoint: I don't ever want us trotting out practice squad WRs in a playoff game again.

I prefer to not pay WRs a bunch either but right now, as it stands today, this is our weakest position group (and that's saying something bc our LB group is piss poor and our OL/secondary/TEs aren't great)

Good list of free agents except for the WRs. $31 million can get Romeo Doubs $16 million aav Hollywood brown $7 million aav Isaac seaumalo $8 million aav. Possession wr, deep threat WR, trade for a #1.

Can't argue with anything you said but I don't think the answer is to way overpay a WR out of desperation,I'd much rather invest that money on the OL/secondary.

it would be too much for a receiver but nowadays since good receivers are making tons of money…… $30 million plus, it would almost be worth it. He led the lead two years in a row in yards per catch over (20 yards per perception last year), which is ridiculous given the quarterback situation they had. Overpaying him by 5 million wouldn't be the end of the world

Man that's a lot of cash for Pierce

She deals with the agents more than the NFL FO stuff from what I've seen. This sounds like alex Pierce's agent trying to get more out of teams like the Pats. I'm not buying that SF is gonna speed that kind of cash on him.
