Probably why many 49er fans would rather have kept Buckner over Armstead.

Time will tell. I think we are gonna look back and see that 21 million per well spent.

I read several posts from SF fans calling Buckner a franchise player. I love the sound of that!

I think the last time I was this excite about a trade was when Dickerson came to Indianapolis.

Thanks for the post. If you want some further real-world confirmation of the success of this trade, check out the 49ers fanboards to read some of their whining. Here are a few quick examples if you're curious:

Harsh reminder not to trade young, blue chip players with great intangibles unless you're getting a godfather offer

He is a great player will root for him. but no longer on the niners.
Time to move on guys.
Holding on like a ex girlfriend

Seems like he is playing better. Lo. The niners are stuck with kinlaw and no cap space.

So I guess it's just a coincidence that Buckner has been on two great defenses?

Lol, some of the are S-A-L-T-Y. I don’t blame them.

You just don’t trade guys like Buckner. You find a way to keep them.

Never understood why they signed Armstead and not Buckner.

I hope he is pissed off until the colts win the super bowl

I can actually see the logic in it from a pure money ball perspective. They needed space to resign Kittle, Warner, etc and were up against the cap. Buckner wanted at least 20 million per. Armstead was a little cheaper and they talked themselves into the notion that they could make up that difference with their stacked d line.

What they didn’t calculate was the type of player Defo is. You don’t replace incredibly durable, all pro, defensive captains like him, especially when he’s only 25.

The fact that a guy like Ballard jumped on that deal should have clued them in that it was a bad one.
