NaVorro Bowman offers Deshaun Watson some friendly advice
Former 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman took to Twitter to pass on some advice to Watson. He tells the Houston Texans quarterback to "get outta there now."
The Texans' star quarterback is frustrated, and the relationship between team and player may be beyond repair. Many anticipate Watson eventually asking for a trade if the two sides cannot reconcile. Oddsmakers list the 49ers with the fifth-best odds to have Watson on the team's roster for the start of the 2021 season.

David Carr ranks 49ers as top landing spot for Watson
NFL Media analyst David Carr recently ranked his top four fits and landing spots for the disgruntled Texans quarterback. At the top of the list were the 49ers, followed by the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, and New York Jets.
Wrote Carr:
"Watson in the Bay Area would be a home run. Kyle Shanahan has developed his scheme since going to San Francisco with more bootlegs, zone runs, QB-designed runs and RPOs, and knowing this, I can't think of a better fit. A dual-threat signal-caller with Watson's ability is what this improved offense has been missing. They have a group of good, young receivers (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne), a premier tight end (George Kittle) and an unbelievable run game that would be that much better with Watson. What makes this pairing feasible is the fact that Jimmy Garoppolo's contract is easy to move on from, as the 49ers would only take a $2.8 million dead-money hit if they released him, saving $24 million against the cap. I would pencil Watson's 49ers into the NFC Championship Game every year."
Peter King feels 49ers would need to include star player in trade for Watson
Peter King of NBC Sports joined 95.7 The Game on Tuesday and was asked what kind of compensation it might take to pry Watson away from the Texans. If the 49ers were interested, they would have to compete with other teams with more to offer in terms of draft capital. "The only way the 49ers can do this, in my opinion, is to convince them to be in love with Garoppolo," King said, "and I don't know if they can do it, and then to trade three or four [first-round picks] to even be competitive in this thing. And I just don't know that Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch would say that's very smart."
Damon Bruce asked King if San Francisco might need to include a star player like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, or George Kittle to sweeten the offer.
"That's where I would go if I were the 49ers, as much as it would pain you to do so," responded King. "If they wanted him, they would probably have to include one or more of those players."
Trent Baalke may land another GM job
Trent Baalke may have single-handedly been responsible for creating one of the NFL's most talent-deprived rosters by the end of his run as general manager with the 49ers. He was ousted following the 2016 season and replaced with John Lynch.
Somehow, it looks like Baalke is on the cusp of landing another general manager job. He has been serving as the Jacksonville Jaguars' interim GM, and NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo report that the team is expected to make it permanent.
The #Jaguars are expected to hire Trent Baalke as their GM, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. The top internal candidate, he stays to work with new coach Urban Meyer. The deal isn't done and official, but it is slated to be soon.

The relationship between the Houston Texans and their star quarterback, Deshaun Watson, appears to have soured. The quarterback may have reached a breaking point and could contemplate a trade request if the situation doesn't improve. Of course, that launched a flurry of speculation and trade scenarios on social media, mostly by fans who believe their teams should be on the phones immediately trying to strike some sort of deal with the Texans. That includes San Francisco 49ers fans, who, according to a recent poll, might be willing to sacrifice the future for the chance of adding a dynamic player like Watson. ESPN's Adam Schefter stated that Watson's anger level following a

Deshaun Watson is not a happy quarterback. That is no secret and, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, teams are reaching out to the Houston Texans to find out if the star player might become available. While Rapoport doesn't specifically mention the San Francisco 49ers, oddsmakers have given the Bay Area squad the third-best chance to have Watson on its roster at the start of the 2021 season. Of course, the Texans remain the favorite to have Watson for Week 1. Watson is not happy after the Texans asked for his involvement in the team's search for a new general manager and head coach. Then, members of the team's brass ignored the quarterback's suggestions and are

The saga between the Houston Texans and their disgruntled quarterback continues. According to one NFL insider, Deshaun Watson has no plans to make amends with his current team, and the relationship between player and team may not be repairable anytime soon. "Let's go back to last Sunday," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Saturday during ESPN's NFL Countdown (via Garrett Stepien of 247Sports, h/t to Patrick Tulini). "I tweeted out that one person close to Watson said that if his anger level after they traded DeAndre Hopkins last offseason was a two, this
