La Canfora: Brooks deal w-SF expected soon; 5 yrs/35M range

[ChrisPozz]

Surprising.

La Canfora: 49ers deep in talks with LB Ahmad Brooks. Deal expected soon in range of 5 years/$35M. He's 1 of many key free agents on D #insideslant

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Great news! I'm sure it will be structured brilliantly.

I'm happy to keep him but wonder how this big deal will affect the other free agents, especially Dashon, Carlos, and Alex.

Brooks would not be my top priority out of these 4 free agents.

More than what Haralson got. I wonder how much is guaranteed money. I'm thinking the Niners will franchise Dashon. But if the Niners fail to resign Rogers, do they feel that Culliver is ready to start next season? How many years will Alex be offered and what amount?

I don't think it's about Culliver starting. I think it's more about experienced CB depth.

When you go up against the better NFL offenses, we needed Rogers, Tarrell Brown and Culliver all healthy. You could see as soon as one guy got hurt and we put in Brock teams picked on Brock (Manningham in the title game).

I like it

Next step haralsons replacement

Hopefully it is backloaded with non guaranteed money.

Brooks Signs 6-year Extension

6 yr extension, im trying to find the numbers. Wow didnt see 6 yrs lol

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

San Francisco 49ers, LB Ahmad Brooks agree to six-year extension - ESPN

looking like 7 million per. Probably backloaded

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Gotta be backloaded in his age 33 and 34 seasons.

 

[erckm510]

I'd say he probably got a pretty good signing bonus with a backloaded contract that he'll probably never see.

6 years and worth up to 44 mil. I didn't see any mention of the amount of guaranteed money.

 

[Yadahell]

6 years?

Well the 5/35 was a out of nowhere for me, I was almost sure he was leaving.

Good to see he coming back. Hopefully his deal won't hurt us down the road.

(also, by tagging Goldson, it definitely means a new FS on the horizon next yr)

 

[BINGO]

It's up there though. I hope we sign Carlos next...and come out with a clever of an excuse to tell Alex Smith: "Sorry bro, we ran out of money" so that Kaepernick can get the starting position next season.

I would be shocked if this isn't a team friendly deal.
