Whether they would even attempt to keep him and what the other opportunities might be is difficult to say at this point, ... I'd never say never as it relates to 49ers, but it appears if you have a No.1 pick and $24 million guarantee going to a player, there would be an accelerated time frame to get him on the field.

We came pretty close, but we just couldn't get it closed. We just had to leave it alone for a while. We sort of got stuck, like you do when you can't get a deal. But we had a good productive meeting and we left on a good note.
