49ers sign Antonio Bethea

[Badger8843]

Im a little confused. Whitner gets 4 years 28million and Bethea got 4 years 26 million. Yes Whitner got 26 Guaranteed but still why not keep a player that knows your system.

$23 mil

Really? Do your homework, the guy can ball, 2x pro bowler and is good for 100 tackles and couple INT's per year

Yes I agree he might be better then Whitner.


WOW Ware is gone from Dallas

 

[Shanemansj13]

Good sign after losing Whitner. This guy is smart, has good awareness, and can make tackles. A lot like Whitner

It is $23 mill over 4 years. Still waiting on breakdown.

U know what Im very excited about this move. Great job Baalke. Got a better guy for cheaper. Yes 1 year older but still.

I dont know if he is better, I think they are pretty equal, but after losing Whitner this was a great signing. I think Whitner was the better hitter but Bethea will do better in coverage playing behind Willis, Bowman and Brooks

As I said, about $1.5 mil cheaper per year, great ass move

Probably because he drafted him.

He was also fired

 

[Badger8843]

Heard Ward got about $6 mil per from Denver

Surprise surprise... Polian drafted Bethea while he was in indy.

Heard Ward got about $6 mil per from Denver

average of $5.5 a year according to JLC

I don't know much about him but I found this write up, wrote March of last year, on all safeties in the league ... Berthea is rated 48 according to this. Take it for what its worth..

B/R NFL 1000 2013: Top 75 Safeties | Bleacher Report

I'm not familiar with safeties that much, but with 32 teams, is a Top 75 overkill? It's more than 2 per team. Just wondering.

It must include bench players or players that took some snaps during the year, I believe the Redskins have like 5 safties on their roster.

There goes my dream of Revis in SF probably.

Yep, but if you are not Top 74 (or top 64), should you be on a list at all? Serious question because I don't know much about safeties. It was like when I heard someone argue Ponder was a top half QB because he included backups. He said he was Top 40 after someone backed him down. (The original comment was top half QB. I heard a similar argument to Smith, but this guy expanded it further. The Smith comment was in regard to some stat.)

 

[Badger8843]

Schefter said numbers aren't in yet on NFL insiders but said $6mil is what he is hearing

I was a bit surprised that they pulled the trigger so soon on a replacement for Whitner. I don't know anything about this kid to comment. I hope he is worth the money.

 

[Badger8843]

To be honest it's been reported for a couple days that they weren't going to pay the $ to whitner so I'm sure they had this move already planned out
