Nothing that will affect resigning Aldon and some of our OL......
Here's another way of looking at it...
Mike Wallace will probably sign for around 10-12 million a year this offseason. WR is a MUCH weaker position than CB. Wallace isn't as dominant of a player as Revis, but he's a #1 WR who can be a deep thread for all those deep balls kaep throws. That would open up the offense to the point that it would dominate in the passing game as well as the running game.
Now let's look at the first round of the draft (The Jets will probably want a pick at least as high as 32 for him). Realistically, the Niners are looking at a guy like Barrett Jones, Kawann Short, maybe one of the TEs. Is Revis' dominant play at CB more valuable than opening up the passing game + getting a starting C or a NT prospect + 2-4 milliion to spend on a guy like Sopoaga or go towards franchising Goldson for 1 more season?
Revis VS Wallace + Barrett Jones + 2-4 million a season. Which is more?
This isn't a rehetorical question by the way. I'm really asking.
Isn't Jenkins supposed to be our "Wallace" though.
I know Wallace would've been a 49er this season if he didn't insist on his ridiculous contract but I doubt we go that route now that we have Jenkins.
Jenkins???
Jenkins. Who's--- OOOOHHHH!!! That's right! AJ Jenkins. Yeah, I remember him. Is he still on the team?
But do you honestly thing Baalke is going to give up on his draft pick after one season and sign Wallace for 13 million?
Just read in the Press Democrat that the Niners are "highly" interested in trading for Jets CB Darrelle Revis. He's 27, will count for $6 million in 2013 and be a free agent after the season. Also coming off a torn ACL. When healthy he is the best CB in football. Niners have 13 draft picks, so a lot of trade value. What do you guys think?
I understand that the niners are in a win now mode and a player like Revis can make it happen. But I'd rather have the money allocated for resigning all the young players we have on the roster. One of the consequences of drafting well is having to eventually pay those players.
adding a high priced FA, likely THE highest, to a quality team will hurt ego's. it is just human nature, applicable to all of us. so as someone already mentioned, what does it do to the lockerroom?
