With how great every single DB they draft turns out to be, you'd think he'd be getting a look at a promotion somewhere.

What?? Merrit said he was staying in KC a few more years for his kids. Damn man

I highly doubt he gets the job.

That would be a big loss.

They are doing this just to spite us.

The day gets worse. smh

JFC dude you're such a pussy LMAO

He gone good for him

Die.

The 49ers window is about to slam shut. I don't see them going with a rookie DC.

He will get a raise and stay right where he is.

Do we get a comp pick for a promotion like this? Or is that only if he gets a head coaching job?
