Is there any way Patrick Willis won't be the highest paid defensive player?

OLB or pass rusher is like a WR. It's difficult to find even a 1000 yarder as it is to find a 8-10 sacker.

very true. I got food thrown at me when I say it is just good ole Niner luck that our 2 elite players are at traditionally easy positions to fill with hordes of good players. HB and MLB. If I got to pick where our 2 super stars would be I would not have picked HB and MLB

Him and his agent are dreaming like CrapTREE if they think he will be the highest paid player. He will be high paid sure but he doesn't provide 22 sacks a year or something. He'a an ILB.

Wasn't Ray Lewis the highest paid D player at one time? Am I trippin'?

No way he should be the highest paid defensive player. I don't know about Ray Lewis and don't care. Demarcus Ware and Shaun Merriman (when healthy) have a much bigger impact on the game. The CB's from the Jets and Raiders might have just as big of an impact or bigger.

His contribution is overly stated because this is a homer 49er page. I'd trade him straight up for Demarcus Ware right now. A guy who can provide 20 + sacks is the true difference maker.

Now you're trippin, but I expect no less, so I'll just at all of this.

You seriously wouldn't want Ware or a 100% healthy Merriman over and above Willis?

Yeah well I was at the Subway in Fort Wayne a few weeks back (I actually live close to Ft Wayne) and while the chick behind the counter was making my sandwich Eugene Parker in the flesh walked in and she stopped making mine so she could make him "the usual"....Can't believe they allowed him to cut in front of me however he was kind enough to take this picture with me




Of course Subway's lighting is so bad that you can't tell it's me
