German_Force » Among the big moves that are set to become official

once the league year starts on Wednesday afternoon is the trade sending Dee Ford from the Chiefs to the 49ers.Ford is also set to sign a fat new contract with a total value of $87.5 million over five years with some $45 million in guarantees. That’s a pretty good sign of how much the Niners value having an edge rusher like Ford in the lineup and he told Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports that the team made that clear to him verbally as well.“I feel appreciated Ronnie Lott Jersey ,” Ford said. “Me knowing they believe in me … talking to the GM, talking to the owner, talking to the head coach … they couldn’t wait [for me to get there].”Ford is coming off his best NFL season and said the role the 49ers pitched to him was “music to my ears” because it called for him to attack off the line almost all the time. Ford also expects to be even stronger in 2019 since he isn’t coming off the back injury that limited him to six games in 2017.“Last year, at the point of attack, I wasn’t very strong — sometimes Y.A. Tittle Jersey , they could knock me off my path,” Ford said. “Now, I’m gonna be like a Ferrari, but with an 18-wheeler’s force. I’m gonna have the muscle mass behind it.”The 49ers have also added linebacker Kwon Alexander to the mix and will be hoping their new defensive additions match with the returning Jimmy Garoppolo to help the team end a streak of four straight losing seasons. Pat’s update: The 49ers have made it official. The San Francisco 49ers suffered a bevy of injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but the most devastating will be safety Adrian Colbert. Kyle Shanahan announced in his Monday press conference that Colbert has a high ankle sprain and will go on injured reserve. The earliest Colbert can return in in Week 16 due to IR rules http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-jerry-rice-jersey , but he might be effectively shut down for the season given how late his return could be. Keep in mind, the team can only return two players from IR. Dekoda Watson and Marcell Harris are both practicing right now, so if those two are brought back, Colbert’s season is over. Beyond Colbert, several players are day-to-day; Matt Breida with a tweaked ankle http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic...epernick-jersey , Marquise Goodwin with also a tweaked ankle, and Jaquiski Tartt with what Shanahan describes as a stinger. Reuben Foster is the only person that is a sure thing for practice on Wednesday. With Colbert being out, Shanahan has indicated reps for D.J. Reed are in order. This is not unlike Colbert coming in mid-season in 2017 and making an impact. For now, Reed will get some valuable safety reps to help him as a rookie and hopefully make set him up for 2019 when the 49ers are competitive again (maybe?).
