When wide receiver Odell Beckham was on the market Christian Wilkins Jersey , 49ers General Manager John Lynch made no secret of his interest.And while he wasn’t willing to part with the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, there were talks that might have kept him in the first round.the 49ers played a significant role in making the final deal happen.Lynch wanted to add Beckham in a serious way, and there was some discussion of sending the second pick to the Giants, but only if the sixth overall pick came back as part of the package. The Giants also apparently asked if Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was available, but the two sides never came together.That interest, however, turned up the heat in Cleveland. With Browns G.M. John Dorsey already talking to Giants counterpart Dave Gettleman about the Olivier Vernon-for-Kevin Zeitler deal http://www.miamidolphinsteamonline.com/michael-deiter-jersey , there were chances to expand the conversation. When they were planning on finalizing that deal during a call on the morning of March 12, things got interesting.Dorsey, afraid the 49ers would finish a deal before he could, asked Gettleman about Beckham, and Gettleman reportedly replied: “What do you got?”The Giants wanted two first-rounders. The Browns floated throwing defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah in the deal. The Giants weren’t interested (he was eventually dealt to the Chiefs). The Giants were interested in safety Jabrill Peppers, since they needed a Landon Collins replacement, and as talks proceeded, Peppers effectively became that second first-rounder.“About four o’clock Garrett Bradbury Jersey , it was like, ‘You know what, there may be a chance this may work out,'” Dorsey said.The Giants eventually agreed that night, without shopping Beckham to others (for some reason). That left the 49ers disappointed, and the Giants might have missed a chance to peel more out of Lynch than they got from Dorsey. But now they don’t have to worry about seeing Beckham more than once in four years — unless the deal propels both teams to the Super Bowl. The Seahawks spent the offseason saying farewell to many of the key players from the teams that went to two Super Bowls and made five straight playoff appearances between 2012-2016, which led many to believe that the team would be rebuilding in 2018.An 0-2 start to the year, the loss of safety Earl Thomas for the season in Week Four and a 4-5 record through nine games didn’t do much to change that feeling Noah Fant Jersey , but word of their demise was exaggerated. They won four straight to put themselves back into playoff contention and stamped their ticket with Sunday night’s 38-31 win over the Chiefs.After the game, head coach Pete Carroll called the team’s midseason turnaround “a real statement about leadership” and said it meant a lot to prove the team’s doubters wrong.“There’s an emotion to it that’s deep, and it’s because there weren’t very many people that thought we could do this,” Carroll said, via the team’s website. “Most everybody thought we didn’t have a chance. To hang together, hang through it, we got it done before the season is over. I wish we would have nailed it last week, too http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/trysten-hill-jersey-cheap , to keep this feeling that’s going on the last 6 or 7 weeks or whatever, I don’t know how many weeks it’s been, but we’ve been riding it. It’s a magnificent feeling that gives us the confidence that we can go anywhere and play anybody. We’re ready to roll.”Next week’s results will determine if Seattle is the fifth or sixth seed in the playoffs, but the fact that they are there at all gives the team plenty to celebrate this Christmas.
