K Phil Dawson

he will probably restructure

Add another yr or 2 n bring his cap # down
I noted this in my Team Needs thread:

PK - We could use a rookie to challenge Phil Dawson in camp as we could save $3,134,000 if we cut Dawson with only $1M in dead-money.
P - We could use a rookie to challenge Andy Lee in camp as we could save $1,550,000 if we cut Lee with only $1M in dead-money.

Slightly off track but where do you guys think the alabama punter will be drafted when he declares? Dude can be a gamechanger. I wouldn't mind us spending a draft pick on him.

Anyone think Dawson will be cut? He is due about $4.1 million and is coming off a 25 for 31 season from FG. Might he take a pay cut?

Thoughts?

I would think restructure is the first option. Hopefully he'd be willing.

Well technically he isn't under contract for 2016, so it would be probably be a pay cut.

How much would it cost to cut him now?

I think we can find someone younger who will grow w/the team..

if not, then leave him alone, and use a 2nd rounder on FSU's (Arguayo) in next year's draft..

Not off track at all, I remember watching him during the college playoffs and thinking dang...that's a secret weapon. I say a 5th or 6th easy
The Florida State Kicker? Aguayo?

cut andy lee?!? you shut your god damn mouth!
49ers should CUT 40 year old Dawson. He's lost his power and was erratic last year at 39 and expensive.

a rookie FA would be a fraction of the cost and just as effective. Dude Dawson missed a LOT last year and is EXPENSIVE. Not worth the $3 to $4 mil he's scheduled for.

I was going to ask who the top 2-3 College kickers were. I think I remember him being mentioned - who else?
