**** BREAKING NEWS***** GOLDSON GOT THE FRANCHISE TAG

I don't want to franchise Dashon Goldson.

I want to sign him to a multi year deal at 5 per with incentives to 7+ per.

...before any other free agent we have. Teams look for NFL safeties that can help their team win for years and years. We have that right in front of us. The guy though deserves to get paid. He deserves every bit of the top safetys' salaries because he IS a top safety in this league. We should be very proud of Goldsons performance and commitment to us. He wants to be here. We need to jump at the chance that Goldson is the perfect type of free safety to excel in our defensive system. Physical, fast, range, tall, instinctive in run support, great learner ( bites less on play action).

I love Goldson. I ve always been one of his biggest fans.

And I love the 49ers so much. Its been so long since I got angry at personnel decisions because they always make the right decisions, but if they don't resign a top 5 safety, then I'm going to be livid f**king pissed.

Cheers guys, how you guys doing on this fine evening?


Still not watching Superbowl, lol

This.

It's a bit silly that he even had to type that.

I think most if not all fans want him back, but what they are afraid of is the 50 million dollar contract. The problem is Goldson probably wants top 5 money, when he's really top 10.

Really hitting the happy pills hard today, huh SD?

Anyway, I'd be surprised if the tag is used on him. Goldson didn't generate a whole lot of interest through the abbreviated offseason (which was somewhat surprising) so I'm wondering if it will be any different this year - maybe it will be, but, dude needs to clean up some of his tackles and not always go for the big hits. It didn't matter much in the end but he whiffed on some tackles last night that needed to be made.

I know it's generally all about the money but it would be nice to see some players stick around as something special is being built here.

remember when we had Madoo-doo in for him and we lost against the Cowboys? Or better yet, remember Mark Roman and all the things we'd hear from training camp and practice about this kid named Dashon Goldson who was always making plays? Let's not lose him without a proper replacement.

Dashon Goldson: Age 27

Carlos Rogers: Age 30

Look at the #'s folks. I'd rather take the risk of an uncovered Rogers. He has 1 - 2 years of really good play left (Rogers). Goldson may have 5 - 6. He's an absolute ball hawk out there. He catches every tipped pass. He hits like a truck. His instincts and angles he takes are outstanding. The guy we can't afford to lose is GOLDSON!

Rogers says he wants to finish as a 49er. So I take that chance with a big contract over 3 years he may sign with us again anyway. We can't leave Goldson uncovered. We can't! Big dropoff in the back end without him.

Ted Ginn I think we can get to come back for a big "return man contract." We need him for field position.

Alex Smith has finally found the teacher he needs to continue to develop. Almost no way he wants to go to another team. I think he would be out of his mind to leave Harbaugh. So for a pretty good contract value I think he will come back.

These are the 4 guys I think we need to resign. But Goldson is by far the most dangerous to leave uncovered in FA. Discuss.
