me enough of a problem to knock him out of the final two regular-season games. Coach Sean McVay doesn’t believe the absences will go any farther than that.“Based on just the information that I’m getting and just talking to Todd https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Marquise-Goodwin-Jersey , I wouldn’t say that I’m concerned,” McVay told reporters on Friday. “I think we want to be really smart about that. The thing that’s great about Todd is he’s very decisive and he’s a great communicator with regards to how he’s feeling. I think he understands his body better than anybody else. I don’t get the sense that he’s concerned, but we want to be smart about this. If it’s feeling like something where he’s not going to be able to be the Todd Gurley that we’re accustomed to seeing, just based on the way that that thing is feeling, the smart thing for him — number one — and for our football team is to be able to rest him and get him back as quickly as possible whenever that is that our next game after the Niners will be.”If the Rams lose to the 49ers, the next game could be as soon as six days away. Beat the 49ers, and the Rams will secure a bye. Though the extra rest surely won’t hurt, McVay believes Gurley will be good to go whenever they play again.“I would think so,” McVay said about Gurley’s availability for the first playoff game, before turning pragmatic. “If you said a couple weeks ago that we would have to hold him out for the last two weeks, I probably would’ve been surprised about that. But based on the information that we’re getting, there isn’t any reason for us to press the panic button or think that he won’t be available. But it is important for us to get him back to full speed and to the health that he feels like he can go compete at and we’re not doing anything to put him at risk and he’s not doing anything for the longevity of his career.”It’s definitely a concern that Gurley’s surgically-repaired knee (he tore an ACL in 2014 at Georgia) would become inflamed without any specific trauma or injury. And it will be a concern throughout his career Joe Staley Jersey , with that knee constantly having the potential to swell again. With word that the 49ers are looking to other kickers, maybe they can offload Gould to a team."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 49ers Salary CapLevi’s Stadium Events49ers Transactions49ers Injury News49ers Press Conferences & Conference CallsNFL Trade RumorsWhat would you trade Robbie Gould for? New,90commentsWith word that the 49ers are looking to other kickers, maybe they can offload Gould to a team. PDTShareTweetShareShareWhat would you trade Robbie Gould for? The San Francisco 49ers were to get Robbie Gould for at least one more year. Then they weren’t. On Tuesday, reports surfaced that the 49ers were interested in New England Patriots free agent kicker Stephen Gostkowski. While Gostkowski would be signed back to the Patriots within hours, the whole act is weird considering the 49ers have issued the franchise tag to Gould, but it sounds as if he’s a bit miffed that he didn’t get a chance of testing the free agency waters.It’s understandable, considering his family is in Chicago, but the NFL is a business, I suppose. If the 49ers are looking to a new kicker, then Gould would be either traded, or the franchise tag (which hasn’t been signed by him) would be rescinded. Let’s go with that first scenario Solomon Thomas Color Rush Jersey , trading Gould. It’s time to play armchair GM. The Chicago Bears are the prime targets in a deal here. After that blunder of a field goal in the NFL playoffs, the biggest beneficiary in all of this was Gould. It’s only more interesting that the Bears released him a few years back which enabled the eventual arrival in San Francisco in the first place. This isn’t the first time the 49ers have made a trade with the Bears, and the same logic applies. If the Bears want Gould, he’s not going to be cheap. This isn’t just another kicker, it’s one of the best kickers in the league.I’d start negotiations at a fourth rounder. That’s a fair price. I’ve seen some say a third, but that’s far too much for a kicker, even Gould and a good way to get laughed off the phone. Fourth is respectable. If we have to start going back and forth I may be willing to take a fifth and some change when negotiations end, but nothing less. The Bears are picking in the back, so a fifth would be somewhat of a disappointment. A fourth and Gould gets to go back to Chicago, plus the Bears get the best kicker in the league, all provided the Bears can work out their extension and not release him early this time. What would you think is adequate compensation for Gould?
