Gotta imagine they will match it, unless the niners drastically overpaid.

At what price is it worth keeping wright? A one yr tender. Or start over on your TE 2 in the draft? I like wright but I also like a few TE in this draft even know they say this is a weak draft for them. I see value in the mid rounds wish we had a 4th rd pick.

RFA offers are a 1-year deal. Can other teams offer more than one year?
It stands to reason the 49ers offered something more than Detroit, either more money, longer contract or both.
Interesting that he’ll back up an Iowa TE either way.
I have to think the Lions match unless it’s got some poison pill in the offer, or is a massive overpay.

I was surprised he even got the tender, and wasn’t flat out resigned for less.

Really curious to see what the 49ers gave him.

Time to ride with Mitchell and Draft a guy to develop. Don’t overpay a TE 2. I think his tender will be at over $3 million.

The Lions gave him a tender of $3M. The 49ers signed Wright to an offer sheet and of course it’s going to be more than $3M . . . it has to.

Yes, probably more money and at least 2 years, but we will see.

Without knowing the terms, I think we will match it.

Niners….we should do the same thing to one of their RFAs

49ers see this as their one year to make a run, and Detroit is in their way.

The only RFA that SF tendered was a 2nd round tender to Jauan Jennings for $4.89M, but it would cost us a 2nd round pick to sign him (I’ll pass). There is no compensation if we decline the offers sheet on Wright.

You already know what I’m gonna ask… if we don’t match do we get any…

But I think we should match and keep him.

I have a gift for you at the combine… spoiler alert it is a crack pipe loaded with coffee beans.

Wright is the blocking TE and is actually good at what he does, or the 49’ers wouldn’t be trying to poach. Mitchell is not a good blocker. This is a week TE draft class so it’s unlikely to find a player as good as Wright with one of their 4 day 3 picks.
Unless it is some kind of crazy over payment I expect Holmes to match.
It could possibly be a multi-year deal. Holmes seems pretty allergic to those so that may be what interested Wright.

Losing Brock Wright would potentially force the Lions into drafting a TE somewhere this year. They need him back.
