The contract extension for #Browns LB Jamie Collins: 4 years, $50M, source said. $26M in guarantees. Large.

Could mean a lot for us getting Garrett with the reports of liking Watson.

This is definitely a good signing (for us)

4-3 scheme might value Allen more as well. Would love Garrett to 49ers.

It is looking more like Shanahan's first decision will be whether he wants to reach for a good-not-great QB or grab a future Pro Bowl/All Pro defender?

Probably, and in the grand scheme of things, I still don't know which is actually a better call... The value of a stable, consistent QB outweighs everything else. But if you're convinced that there really isn't much difference between Trubisky / Watson / Kizer and Mahomes then you probably role the dice to try and trade back up for one of those guys...

or you essentially punt on this season and try again next year (i.e. Browns in 2016)

for them too. 12.5M a year isnt that much compared to how much they said he was asking in NE.

i do think that this moves us closer to getting Garrett. Browns are getting pretty stacked at pass rushers with Collins and the two rookie standouts they had this season. Their weakness on defense is definitely the trenches. Pairing up shelton and Allen on the inside would make a scary pair.

I can't see us punting on this season. On the contrary, I see us using at least the 2nd round pick on a QB, possibly even trading back into the 1st round to get our guy, assuming Garrett is the pick at #2. Late 1st, early 2nd is not too late to get a good QB when you have a quality coaching staff. Even then grabbing a backup guy in the 4th round or so would not be a bad idea.

he hasn't done anything yet, simmer down with the All Pro comparison.
