Fooch’s update: The Raiders officially released Irvin on Mon

Youth Marquise Goodwin jersey , per the daily transaction wire. He is a vested veteran, but because this happened post-trade deadline, he has to go through the waivers process. All 31 other teams can place a waiver claim on him over the next 24 hours. Waivers runs at 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday, at which point we’ll find out where he might be headed.The San Francisco 49ers will not make the playoffs in 2018, but the return of Jimmy Garoppolo and Jerick McKinnon in 2019 coupled with a high draft pick puts them in position to compete for the postseason then. With that in mind, any roster moves moving forward should factor that in to a certain extent.Which brings us to the Oakland Raiders. Beat writer Vic Tafur reported on Saturday that the Raiders had decided to cut pass rusher Bruce Irvin. It has been a tough year for Irvin, who had served as a complement to Khalil Mack in 2016 and 2017. Irvin can still get to the passer, but he is a complement more than a primary option. Dealing away Mack has made life a lot more difficult for Irvin, who has three sacks through eight games — a season after matching his career high with eight sacks.Where this gets interesting is the waiver wire. If the Raiders had cut Irvin prior to the trade deadline http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-george-kittle-jersey , he would have become a free agent immediately. After the trade deadline, vested veterans become subject to the waiver wire system. By waiting until after the trade deadline, all 31 other teams can put in a claim on Irvin to pick up the final season-plus of his contract.Irvin is signed through 2019, earning $8 million this season (his new team would owe him $4 million the rest of the season) and $9 million (plus a $250,000 workout bonus) next year. If he is claimed off waivers, the new team would owe that (his 2019 salary is not guaranteed). If he is not claimed, he would be signing a new contract.Irvin is likely hoping none of the teams outside the playoff chase claim him, and instead he lands with a Super Bowl contender. However, any team can place a claim on him. Waiver priority is based on draft order Earl Mitchell jersey , and right now, the 49ers would hold the third position. Buffalo could climb ahead of them with a loss depending on strength of schedule, so the 49ers are looking at third or fourth in waiver priority.Once Irvin is officially waived, I have to think his agent will be on the phone with teams atop the waiver list to a) ask if they are thinking of claiming Irvin and b) make it clear he wants to play for a contender. That being said, it might make sense for the 49ers to put in a claim on Irvin. They are not playing for the playoffs this year, but they are hopefully upgrading the pass rush next offseason. They have a high pick and plenty of cap room. Maybe they try and sign DeMarcus Lawrence, or maybe they spend a top five pick on a premium pass rusher. Either way, they could be in a position in 2019 where Irvin can serve in that complementary role.The next 48 hours could be interesting for teams looking to upgrade their pass rush. If nobody in the top 10 or so waiver spots puts in a claim on Irvin, it might be because conversations were had between teams and Irvin’s agent. But we’ll see what happens between now and Tuesday.Watch Raheem Mostert make a great special teams tackle Special teams coverage units are one of the oft-overlooked units in football. We talk about the kicker and punter Authentic K'Waun Williams jersey , as well as return men, but coverage units are key — particularly punt return coverage. Which brings us to Raheem Mostert. The 49ers running back is arguably the team’s best player on special teams, and we’re seeing it on the stat sheet. Mostert had three special teams tackles in Week 2 (h/t 49ers PR director Bob Lange), and he now leads the league with five such tackles.Mostert was all over the field on special teams, but his highest profile tackle came on his coverage of Lions return man Jamal Agnew in the second quarter. Watch below as he stops him for no gain with a perfect tackle.Raheem Mostert special teams tackle, 49ers vs. LionsThis weekend, the 49ers travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs. We’ve heard plenty about the prolific Chiefs offense, but they also lead the league in punt return average. They are averaging 37.3 yards per return on four punt returns. Tyreek Hill has three returns for 101 yards and a touchdown, and De’Anthony Thomas has one return for 48 yards.Punt coverage sometimes require a strong team effort Youth Joe Staley jersey , but as we saw in Mostert’s big tackle of Agnew, the key can often be winning a one-on-one battle. Mostert made a great tackle, but just as importantly, he got off the block at the line and got in position to make the play. The 49ers are going to need that in a big way this weekend against the Chiefs.
