I suggested this a long time ago. I said we should bring him in at SS and move Whitner to FS. I think it would work out well for both players and our secondary would be that much better.

Okay this is getting tiresome. Yeah I'd love to see him here too but

 

HOW MUCH WILL HE COST??

 

$4.89 million: Sean Jones' total salary for 2008

$6.34 million: Franchise tag price for a safety

 

If he's the top safety in free agency this offseason, how much do you think he'll get? Three years ago the 49ers gave Michael Lewis a six year, $30 million contract with $10 million guaranteed. That was then, this is now.

 

Let's figure low and say he goes to the highest bidder at 5 years, $25 million with $14 million guaranteed. In other words, about $5 million/year.

 

So the question is, at $5 million per year do we want to sign the guy? I'd rather spend the money at a different position.

The writer makes an interesting arguement. The first thing we see is no pass rush, so the QB plants and scans the field then passes. We're too busy screamin' about Kelsey, Denney, Copeland being swallowed up, that our rage is transferred to the secondary. "McGee got burned!, Whitner got rolled!" We really don't have a playmaker back there like Henry Jones, Tony Greene, George Saimes.

 

I'm sold.

 

Git er done!
