We work with the guys who are here." TK "But with a contract dispute will Alex Boone be on the field when training camp starts?"

Damn... you guys are fickle. Don't understand the hate. He's going to show up for training camp and be ready to roll for the season. Great team player and locker room presence. He's dissatisfied with his contract, and he should be. He's outperformed it. That doesn't mean he's s**tting on the team. Guarantee this guy plays his heart out this year, just like he always does.

I don't blame Boone for wanting a new deal, but he signed the extension back in 2011 I believe, he knew the pay, and potentials. He has a $1.05M escalator for 2015 based on playing time, which would be earned easily if he stays healthy.
On the second hand, I don't think he is showing his teammates any respect by no showing OTAs, while guys like Kap, Aldon, Crabs, Iupati are likely there.
And then it's not a definite he gets extended, at all, maybe we took Martin and Thomas in the hopes of paring them with Kilgore for the LG-C-RG trio in some fashion. But I don't know if he will get extended this year, there is no cap room available, we have less than $2M right now, it wouldn't be tough to make room. But then you run into the problems Pittsburgh and Dallas have faced, restructuring, and facing bad, high dollar cap figures. Bowman was awesome to restructure, but he has a $10M cap hit in 2018, he won't see that. And if he does, then he will still be in his prime, and 100% back from the ACL injury.
Another guy I look at who should get a new deal, actually 2, and they aren't holding out, Joe Staley, and Vernon Davis. Both are keys to our Offensive success.
I pray next year the cap raises higher than the projected $140M that I have heard it to be. Be prepared to lose Crabs, Iupati, maybe Dorsey, and in future, decisions on McDonald, and Boone need to be made in 2015-2016. I expect Vernon would be tagged, not sure the price tag, might be too much though, but he should be a definite re-sign. I'm not sure why the FO didn't extend him in 2012 when he restructured to help get Bowman under contract long term. Same for Willis, he has restructured twice now, and no extension, I don't get it.

If he were a black player we would be hearing a lot more about how disrespectful and greedy he is. He was in the same boat as Aldon when he came into the league. Our organization was the only one to offer him any shot at playing in the NFL. He was an alcoholic that the organization gave an ultimatum: He would remain on the team only if he stayed at the team hotel in Santa Clara. Then he was placed on the practice squad (where any team in the league could have offered him a contract) and was given an opportunity to work his way into the starting line up.
How does he repay the organization that took a chance on him, offered him $5000 per week on the practice squad, and the recently made him a millionaire? By holding out for a bigger contract.
If this were Aldon or any other black player, we would hear the same stuff we heard when Crabtree held out during his rookie year.
I think it is crazy that any of our guys would hold out now when we are so close to a championship, knowing that we are up against the cap. We also don't need anymore negative press. I think this is a really greedy move by a 2-3 year starter with past issues.
