Lol so much butt hurt, so many rustled jimmies. The same people b***hing about not signing somebody would be whining about overpaying. These deals today have been stupid. The only one I would have been okay with was the Brandon brooks contract. Other than that you are paying top five money for a scrub that doesn't significantly improve our roster.

Baalke is going to sign people chill out. They will be second tier guys on manageable contracts. He will trade kap for multiple picks and we will build through the draft. He does this every year, so stfu you knew this was coming, and if not you haven't been paying attention. Shame on you.

Terrible post.

Seconded. Who complains about money that isn't ours, which we have an abundance of, being spent to shore up a bottom 3 roster and a GM that can't draft for s**t.

People mistake being frugality and intelligent use of money to not spending it at All. 90% of the deals today aren't worth it and aren't justifiable. There are still plenty of players who can improve this team that would be far cheaper. Allows I'm saying, let's wait and see because baalke has had a track record of grabbing some quality players on mangable deals day 2, 3 and so on. Outside of last year of course.

You all just want immediate satisfaction, when in reality These day 1 deals don't work out great often, and are albatrosses for the future. Let's wait and see who we grab. As I said, free agency isn't a one day event.

this. Free agency doesn't end today. There are people left to sign. Alfred Morris is a good one, Sean Smith isnt signed yet. Most of these day 1 deals bite GMs in the ass. Most of these guys will end up getting cut or restructuring their contract.

I'd bet the house you were one of those guys singing this same song right before we signed Nate Clements. Fast forward two years:

"OMG HE SUCKS WHY DID WE SIGN HIM OUR FO IS TEH JOKE!!!!"

Devey and Larsen are depth. Simmer down.

This place has had the Annual Day 1 of Free Agency Freak Out back before I even posted here and was just lurking.


This is just par for the course every year.

this. 49ers shoulda atleast atleast walked away with 2 All Pros along the Oline. Instead its Baalk'e draft picks turnstiles M Martin and B Thomas get bull rushed and the QBS KILLED

This organization is a joke, dont even know why I waste my time.

What else is there to do in march?

Last I heard on Sean Smith, the 49ers were the big players. But it's been hours.

If we don't sign Sean Smith people are going to go full-blown apes**t.

It's just an example lol

He also said it makes no sense not to use your cap space.

This is the weakest FA crop in years, and teams are still overpaying these awful FAs top dollar. We are smart to be avoiding this train wreck and saving cap room for the future when we finally need to be able to sign that missing piece to put us over the top. How are people not getting this lol.
