The Ravens have traded center Jeremy Zuttah to the 49ers, according to a team announcement. In the deal, the two teams will swap sixth-round picks. The Ravens will move up 12 picks late in the draft. The Ravens get pick No. 186 from the 49ers and San Francisco takes Baltimore’s pick No. 198.
The Ravens initially planned to release Zuttah, but the Ravens were able to work out a trade instead. This happens from time to time in the NFL – a team notifies a player of his release, word leaks out, and a team receives a phone call from an interested club before the transaction becomes official. Now, the 49ers get Zuttah without having to compete with other interested teams.
Zuttah is not a superstar, but he is a solid center with starting experience. The Rutgers product has been a starter for Baltimore for the last three seasons. In 2016, the advanced numbers Pro Football Focus placed Zuttah as the 13th best center in the league. His 82.7 score was his best showing since his rookie campaign.
Great trade the Niners needed some oline help and they got it, Zuttah might not be superstar but he’s a great player, can’t wait till the season begins
A superstar
A superstar? That had to be sarcasm I would hope..
Well gopackgo if had read my first comment you would have seen, that i forgot to put a before superstar that’s why I posted another comment saying ( a superstar ), seriously did you not read the first comment I posted bro lol anyways he’s a great player
He was fixing his own statement
More line depth for swapping a dozen draft locations in the sixth round? Good move.
Likely to find the 6th round guy you really want at either spot by that late in the draft anyway.
He didn’t say he was a superstar.he said he may not b a superstar but hes a great player.
Superstar NFL centers are Alex Mack and Ryan Kalil…
Which is why it has been common for the better part of a decade to follow up corrections with a *.
Sorry BayAreaSportsFan maybe I just don’t want to do what everyone does or maybe just maybe it doesn’t matter how I correct myself lol thanks for the idea tho I’m good tho
Are you related to the condescending/know it ALL character named Harry Berezin?
love the moves it showing Shannon isnt playing around. 49ers might not be a playoff team but they sure as hell arent a 2 win team any more.
Four wins maybe, Jeremy!
sports fans in the bay know all about asterisks… Sorry couldn’t resist
Amen to that.
Such as Harry Berezin, Alice, Sophie Psych idiot and Mueller.
A pro bowler was just traded for a swap of sixth round picks. Maybe that should be a red flag for some people. Also, his trade was his best since he was a rookie, also not a good thing. I hope he does well elsewhere but playing next to Marshal Yanda, one of the best guards of the last decade, he did not look good for most of the season.
Do your homework and then spell salary cap strapped Ravens, DUH?
The Ravens were middle of the pack in FA money to dole out once they cut guys they couldn’t justify keeping. Even if you are cash strapped, why would you cut a pro bowler? Because until this trade happened, that’s what almost happened.
Logically that doesn’t make sense if the guy was actually a performer at that level. He isn’t. And most people know that. You can play the cute little “duh” card all you want but teams don’t jettison guys that are currently top caliber players. Consider they just took the exact amount of money they were going to pay Zuttah and paid itmto Brandon Carr. Let that sink in.
Rodney Hudson and Travis Fredrick both better than Ryan Khalil! JUSTWINBABY!
