**** BREAKING NEWS***** GOLDSON GOT THE FRANCHISE TAG | Page 31

SanDiego49er · 2011-12-20T17:18:40-08:00

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.

Most negotiations are far apart when they start. Goldson will be a Niner. Bank on it. Carlos is the one I'm worried about.

I hope he stays. He knows how far this team can go. So he should see Super Bowl instead of $$$$$. That's should be his ultimate goal SUPER BOWL!!!

LOL I'm already ready for his 'angry tweets' the moment Rogers gets re-signed (with Goldson thinking he isn't coming back).

I lol'd at this part
Goldson is likely to command the highest safety contract in league history this offseason—or at least if I was his agent, I'd be looking for such a deal. That's bad news for any team looking to acquire this particular player's services.

He wants to get overpaid. Wouldn't you want to most money to do whatever you do for a profession?

I dont disagree, but I'm speaking as a fan that doesn't want to see him bail.

With that said, I'd love to see a study regarding who makes more in the long run; The player who gets way "over paid" in a fluff contract or the guy who gets a reasonable contract and plays it through? Gore's probably made pretty decent money having his reasonable contracts rather than getting a big deal that would of got his ass bounced a long time ago. Just a thought.

Safety franchise money is only 6.2 million. I would say there is a 99% chance we use the franchise tag on him. He's going to be here, making 6.2 million, with a frown on his face if he must.

With a 6.2 million tag, you'd think the team would work something out first, and worst case they use the tag.
