Growing up in my family of 86 first cousins, you were either a Cowboys, 49ers, & Steelers fan. I ended up being a Steeler fan (first game was the '79 AFC Championship at Three Rivers)... I still loved watching the Walsh/Montana/Rice 9ers back in the day. Dwight Clark's famous catch is one of the greatest plays ever. Brings back so many childhood memories. He was too young to pass. RIP to a legend...

We sign Wilcox over Reid?!?!?!?!

I can think of a couple reasons
1. Politics: Like it or not, kneelers walk the plank. Kaep was definitely 'good enough' last year to start somewhere and probably is still 'good enough' to start somewhere this year, Eric Reid is 'good enough' to start somewhere this year. Probably neither will be signed by any team again, not a coincidence.
2. $$$: Reid was a 1st round pick probably seeking a multi-year extension, although he had said he was willing to look at making a 'team friendly' deal, JJ Wilcox a 3rd round pick whose bounced around that we signed to a cheap *** 1 year deal.
3. Roles: Reid a starter, JJ Wilcox going to be a practice body and a Jimmie Ward backup, JJ Wilcox won't start for us, nor see the field much, unless Ward or Tartt go down with injury.
4. Depth: we just waived Trovon Reed (an undrafted free agent whose been on our practice squad and bounced around on a few different teams) and Wilcox is ostensibly his replacement.

Eric is suing the NFL. Sad to say but his career is over.

Eric Reid sat as a free agent for 2 months before filing the collusion case in May.
He even had an April visit with the Bengals where they grilled him over kneeling.
No one was touching him even before he sued the NFL. His career ended when he started kneeling. Soon as his 49ers contract was done so was he.
I think his suing the NFL was just a "**** you" once he realized no one was going to sign him. And wouldn't that make him right af? Even though maybe he can't prove it beyond reasonable doubt in the court of law doesn't it seem like the definition of collusion?

He wasn't the only FA quality starting S sitting. Kenny Vaccaro, Tyvon Branch, and Tre Boston are still out there. It's been a slow market for FA safeties.
But he put the final nail in the coffin when he filed the lawsuit. It's a wrap.
Anyways, JJ Wilcox is camp fodder.

Jimmy and Reuben get a lot of love, but there's one more blue chipper on this team that deserves way more recognition.
DeForest Buckner, the ironman on the 49ers d-line, selected No. 43 on the PFF 50
BY GEORGE CHAHROURI • JUN 5, 2018
Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t the only player primed to lead the San Francisco 49ersback into Super Bowl contention.
DeForest Buckner, the 6-foot-7, 300 pound interior defender from Hawaii, was the youngest player to earn a top five pass-rush grade at his position in 2017 as he ranked third with a 89.6 mark, behind only Aaron Donald (99.9) and Fletcher Cox (90.3). His stellar play as a pass-rusher vaulted him into a tie for sixth in overall PFF grade at his position and made him the only player under 25 years old to rank in the top 10 at his position.
Buckner is paying off the investment the 49ers made when they took him seventh overall in the 2016 draft after his junior year at Oregon and finds himself at No. 43 on the PFF 50 (the top 50 players heading into 201.
Holding up the pass-rush without help
While the 49ers struggled mightily to find an edge rusher last season, Buckner led the defensive front to a respectable opponent adjusted pass-rush grade that ranked 15th and mustered the 12th-highest pressure rate (though they were the eighth-slowest team in doing so). Buckner was no slouch against the run either, he finished the season with an 82.6 run-defense grade.
While he has demonstrated great ability, he has also been incredibly available. Buckner’s 1,873 snaps are the most of any interior defender over the last two seasons and he’s missed just one game entirely. This is in stark contrast to the rest of his teammates along the defensive line. Last season, Buckner played 867 snaps and earned an overall PFF grade of 90.4 (tied for sixth), while the only other linemen to play more than 350 snaps were Solomon Thomas and Earl Mitchell, neither of whom earned a grade above 60.0. For comparison, there were 186 defensive lineman (both interior defenders and edge defenders) who played 350 or more snaps last year. Since Buckner joined the team, Arik Armstead has played the second-most snaps by a 49ers defensive lineman at 638, over 1,200 less than Buckner.
Buckner was on the field for 79.5 percent of the San Francisco defensive pass plays and when he was not on the field the defense suffered. With Buckner on the field, the 49ers ranked 11th in pressure rate at 36.5 percent but without Buckner’s presence, they notched a pressure rate of just 28.1 percent, which would be the lowest in the league. Without Buckner, the 49ers pass-rush also saw their sack rate drop by over 1.0 percent despite blitzing slightly more often.
Pass-rush stud
This past season, Buckner came into his own as a pass-rusher, ranking third in PFF pass-rush grade and racking up 52 pressures. Buckner rushed the passer from the interior (between the tackles) on 63.8 percent of his pass-rush snaps and from an edge position on 36.2 percent of his pass-rushes. Buckner created the most havoc for opposing quarterbacks when he lined up at defensive tackle on the offense’s right side (140 snaps). There he earned a positive PFF play grade on 19.3 percent of his snaps, over 6.0 points higher than when lined up on the other defensive tackle position (141 snaps). The only player to earn a higher percentage of positive PFF grades when lined up at defensive left tackle (offensive right side) was the aforementioned Donald, PFF’s highest graded pass-rusher in 2017, at 22.6 percent (minimum 100 snaps).
Regardless of where he rushed from, Buckner made good things happen – he ranked fourth among interior defenders by earning a positive PFF grade on 12.5 percent of the team’s pass-rush snaps, a testament to his durability and effectiveness.
In total, Buckner earned a 90.4 PFF grade before turning 25, which should create plenty of optimism on the defensive side of the ball for the 49ers.

Doesn't everyone know this ? He was basically kaepernick's robin to his batman... he didn't have to do it but he did now it cost him his career and millions on the table... imagine being his agent telling him not to bec. Of the consequences
Look at the before and after that would kneel .. seems like everyone got their warnings and didn't want to jeprodize their career .. hats off to reid and Kap for making that sacrifice

JJ Wilcox probably trying to make one last push at being a starter after fizzling with Dallas, Tampa, and Pits. His odds with the NYJ are better than being a cheap Jimmy Ward backup. Especially considering the knee injury to Rontez Miles for the jets.
I understand the decision and honestly it does nothing to effect the team, we’ve already replaced him with a cheap one year signing of Antone Exum.

Nah his odds may be just as bad in NY.
The Jets have one of the best young safety tandems in the league with Adams and May.

Fair point but in SF JJ Wilcox would have been behind incumbents Jimmie Ward & Adrian Colbert, plus draftee Tavarious Moore and also battling the recovering Chancellor James, Don Jones, and Marcel Harris in camp. Hard to say where JJ Wilcox shot will be harder. Either way it’s an uphill battle with a lot of competition.
