WOW!!!
I dont think any player is worth that money. I wonder what it's going to take to sign ST

JWsleep · 03-02-2007, 08:22 PM

My goodness. It is expensive to get good players these days!

dall-assblows · 03-02-2007, 08:39 PM

maybe the media will jump all over the 49ers now and say they signed too many egos and shit.

i really think the 49ers spendind is outlandish, but mayb some of that is just jealousy

Yeah but Nate Clements is actually elite. Some of the guys the Redskins over-paid for weren't even borderline elite, they were average or horrible.

Archuleta, Lloyd (traded for in this case), Andre Carter (as a LBer anyway)

I'll give you Archie. But we paid less in terms of salary and signing bonuses for BOTH Carter and Lloyd than you did for Clements. Carter looked really impressive down the stretch and Lloyd is a big question mark.

And, I'm not talking about you Rexi, but I'm tried of hearing how the Redskins overaid this guy or that guy from some idiot on the TV who doesn't know squat. The Redskins developed a reputation for overpaying players after 2000, justifiably so. However, since 2000 our FA "spending sprees" have not been nearly as bad as people make them out to be. In fact, the only big signings I can I regret in the past few years are for (1) Jeremiah Trotter and (2) Adam Archuleta. Yet these morons in the press keep saying how we overpaid for this player of that player. Some examples:

(1) We were told that we overpaid for Laveraneus Coles ($13M SB) when NO ONE criticized the Falcons for giving basically the same deal to Peerless Price. Coles went to the Pro Bowl and eventually was traded for Santana Moss. Where is Peerless now?

(2) We were told that we overpaid for Randy Thomas ($7M SB). The deal doesn't look so bad when you consider what guards, just a few years later, are getting paid and that Thomas is one of the best guards in the league.

(3) We were told we overpaid for Cornelius Griffin ($8M SB), who was allegedly an underachieving washout from NY. Griffin has turned out to be one of the best players on our defense.

(4) We were told that we overpaid for Marcus Washington ($8M SB), who also turned out to be a Pro Bowler and one of the best OLBs in the league.

I could go on and on with such examples.

The 49ers are becoming the Redskins of the west... looks like they're trying to take our title of the offseason champs.

We had 35 million to spend coming into the offseason with the most space in the NFL... Did no one expect us to be signing huge deals?

Why don't we wait and see if these signings have no positive effect on the record before being compared to the Redskins or the Cardinals.

Trust me we know all about kicking ass this time of year. Take our word for it, don't get too excited just yet.

The 9ers way overpaid for Nate Clements. Nate's skills were beginnning to diminish during his last two years in Buffalo. He was not the shut down, ball hawk of a corner that he was the three years prior. Nate's a good corner, but he's no Champ Bailey. 8 years, $80 mil for an overrated player is a bit excessive.

Bizarro world math? Do you disagree that 22 is roughly 1/4 of 80? If that's bizarro world math to you then estimation must be tough.

What about the base salaries, Stephen Hawking? Did you forget about those? When you learn simple arithmetic we can talk contracts.
