Patrick Willis Expected to retire

[purguy12]

With both players retiring 49ers now have around 20 mill to play with.

Thank god we got Borland.

Don't forget Crabtree, Culliver, and Cox. 49ers are going to be completely different.

Those guys are more replaceable. J Smith, Willis and Gore formed the identity of the team.

4-5 years is a long time. This makes no sense. Im thinking its false.

My guess is that he takes a year off to get healthy and tries a comeback.

4 or 5 years is a long time.....but more importantly it is a LOT of money. Even a severely diminished Willis could earn at the very least another $15M in football in the coming years.

He makes 8 mill a year. I don't see him retiring yet. We will find out soon.

@Rand_Getlin: Source: the #49ers are bracing themselves for the loss of LB Patrick Willis. Expecting him to retire.

He was good player for many seasons.

They now could sign AJ Hawk.

Playing in the NFL had to of taken an incredible toll on his body. At least he'll probably be able to walk when he's 50 and made a nice chunk of change in his 20s.

PFT confirmed and the 49ers already have an announcement planned for tomorrow. He is gone.

He was going to get cut by the 49ers I bet. I kind of wonder if them telling him they were moving on or looking for him to take a massive pay cut hasn't lead to this retirement idea.

Its an idea

they were not gong to cut him.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Damn.

One of the dominant forces in the NFL during the 2000's

I read a report where they were considering cutting him.

It seems like there are a lot of teams with quite a bit of cap room this offseason. It's going to end up being pretty lucrative for the free agents this year.

Purguy in complete denial. LOL.

Not denial there hasn't been any real reports. Until I hear it from his agent or himself Im not 100% convinced. Just like the report today about Kap. 100% false.

Yes Revis time
