  • it very well could be. with ward I think the losing had more to do with him leaving. so he left while the gettin was good and went to a playoff team. without looking im guessing that ward had played in more different types of defenses that the other two.

    after a few days to let the FA digest a bit I would say we made we slightly upward moves. What makes me wonder is why the 9'ers didnt try to retain whitner? Seems they didn't try very hard to keep him.

    Yes but do you just let a good player walk?

    After a quick search it appears the 49'ers we not willing to pay him over 4 mill per year.

    That was exactly it. The Niners have very little cap room, and wanted Whitner on the cheap.

    Namely CB^

    Anyone have some options at CB that could be realistic? Or is the draft a better place to fill this position?

    We lost one option: Tarell Browns signed by the Raiders.

  • I think we are starting to slow down because we really want to lock up Haden and Mack this year and need to reserve about 20 mil to do so.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    that numbers wrong. Haden is already counting 10 mill or so towards the cap. If we lock him up, it may go up 2 mill at most. Mack's cap number would probably be 7 or 8 mill. So we need 10 or so.

  • We're apparently almost $40m under the cap - including Mack's $10m contract. Somehow.

    That can't be right. It must not include Mack's.

    I thought Dansbys and Hitners were front loaded and would have a bigger impact.

    Anyway, let's do this thing :-p.

    We do have Haden and Cameron to worry about still.

    Together they have a cap hit of $9.25m this year, I believe. Hawkins would impact the overall figure, bear in mind. But yeah, we have loads of space to get Haden, Cameron and maybe even Gordon locked up this season.
