ALF Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I wonder what SF would want for Anthony Davis RT The 49ers still own his rights but it doesn't look like Davis wants to be part of the team's rebuilding movement If he liked Roman, just maybe
nucci Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 According to Buffalo News "expert' Jerah Sullivan we are doomed because of this contract. So we should be fine. still amazes me how clueless and wrong he is about everything There is more than enough there to sign our rookie class, extend Gilmore (keeping his cap hit this year roughly the same) and still be able to sign a RT if one shakes free from somewhere. If one doesn't, then you keep the $$s roll it over and put it towards a possible extension / tag for Tyrod in 2017. As I've said before, there are some pretty easy cuts next year that make sense and free up cash (although we will need the draftees to come through and start filling those bottom of the roster spots): Cutting Felton, Carpenter, Easley and Kujo before the 2017 season saves us around $5.7m on the cap. Corey Graham would save another $3.75m and the one none of us really wants to see but we know is very likely..... Kyle Williams saves us $6.8m against the cap. I am still saying the deal that hurts us the most going forward is Charles Clay. Man I really do not like that contract. agree and this is usually the case every year
thebandit27 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I wonder what SF would want for Anthony Davis RT The 49ers still own his rights but it doesn't look like Davis wants to be part of the team's rebuilding movement If he liked Roman, just maybe I would think it's a mid-to-late round pick in 2017; probably conditional. He was a good RT, but he's got a $5M+ cap hit and hasn't played a snap in nearly 2 years.
Steve Billieve Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Genuine question: what's the difference between rolling money over and structuring a contract so that same money is in the cap hit next year? It seems to me they are structuring the contracts the way they are (with minimal cap hit this year) for a reason, and intend to make a few late value free agent signings, as Whaley said they were going to do before it all started. Or the money is being freed to give Taylor a good faith raise. As it stands now, they should have over 40m of available cap in 2017, so while as a QB and a CB the TT/Gilmore contracts will be pretty large, they will still fit. I'm sure they don't mind the money being available now, but its also just the standard move. You shouldn't really read anything into it since doing it this way gives you more flexibility, its all upside. I mean who knows what will happen? Maybe Indi calls and wants to deal Luck?
