McCloughan could bring Gore, Davis or Brooks to Washington
Posted by Michael David Smith on January 10, 2015

New Washington General Manager Scot McCloughan could be interested in acquiring some of his favorite 49ers.

McCloughan, who was formerly the General Manager in San Francisco, would probably like to bring in some players he’s familiar with. Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com lists Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and Ahmad Brooks as players McCloughan brought to the 49ers who could be available this offseason.

Gore is scheduled to become a free agent in March, and although he has said he would like to return to the 49ers, Washington could be an option for him. Gore will turn 32 this offseason, and his days of carrying the load in an NFL offense are numbered. But Gore could make sense as a backup to Alfred Morris in Washington. McCloughan has said many times that Gore is one of his favorite players.

Davis turns 31 this month and had a career-low 245 receiving yards in 2014. With his production declining and his salary for 2015 set to be $4.95 million, it’s easy to picture the 49ers cutting him. McCloughan, who spent the sixth overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft on Davis, might be interested in picking him up.

Linebacker Ahmad Brooks is likely to be released by the 49ers this offseason because of his $7.3 million salary, and he’d be an option for Washingtn as well. McCloughan brought Brooks to San Francisco in 2008.

San Francisco has had a lot more success than Washington in the last few years, and McCloughan’s job is to change that. Perhaps he’ll change it by bringing back some of the players who helped turn the 49ers into winners.

I wonder what SF would want in return if they are tradable

Washington is pretty set at all those positions though. Would be another disaster if they did that, imo.

LOL I love hearing more Whiners leaving... the implosion continues...

Dependence on free agents? It's a perfect marriage for him and Snyder.

See... I wouldn't mind if the Rams let Kendricks go and signed Vernon Davis.

Dunno how the money would work, but dood's a damned BEAST to tackle and with Quick, Britt, Cook, Davis and Austin/Bailey..., you can't cover all that. Plus, because you're using two TEs, you can go 5 WRs from a two TE set (something Martz used to do) and really freak up the DCs. With Cook and Davis, you'd really have LBs wetting themselves and SOMEONE would be in a mismatch.

I don't begrudge any WR from the 9ers having bad numbers this year... look who their QB was...

I seriously think that the only difference between Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow is Jim Harbaugh. Well... and Tebow has way more heart. But neither can throw a pass from the pocket worth a damn.

You can't cover that! You just need the O- Line to hold and bam! First down or better...

No thanks on Davis. He is too moody and allows his emotions to interfere with his play. We already have a Tight End like that.

Gore and Brooks are on the decline. No, and no thanks.

Those players are all past their prime. The Redskins are better off nailing their drafts. They got a heck of a GM. Has picked some great talent.
