Please elaborate
Deebo extension then trading him with $31 mil in dead cap.
I wanna say the 49ers are still taking on dead money from Armstead too, but not sure?
Hargrave and his fat contract.
In the end it was just bad decisions.
Id argue bad results, not process.
RE: Deebo, The team was operating under the context of keeping the band together for one final year of Purdys rookie deal. To go all in THEN, we needed the cap space THEN. The restructure didn't give him more money, just kicked the can down the road.
Same with Armstead, they kept restructuring his contract so that we can fit more pieces for our SB push.
Hargrave was signed when we alll felt we were one top end interior pass rusher away from winning a superbowl. We were all happy when the move was made. I did think that it was a slight overpay, but common, of course you over pay when you think it's a good chance this player is the difference between making or missing the superbowl. Unfortunately, we lost said SB, and then he got hurt.
Kolohe beat me to it.
Adrian you using semantics? How is bad results not failure? Restructuring Deebo was stupid; the writing was on the wall with him and they knew Purdys contract was coming up.
AA restructure was dumb as well, why do that and then release him the next season? I get kicking the can down the road, but again, at the end of that road was Purdys contract.
You would think they learned from Deebos fiasco but they rewarded Aiyuk for doing the same childish crap, it sets precedent, and not in a good way. Now, it very much appears like they regret that decision in giving Aiyuk that huge contract.
And no, not everyone thought an older Hargrave was a good signing. Just like not everyone thought Deebo was a good extension; I made people mad with truth bombs of him never repeating contract year Deebo again. Aiyuk, same, not everyone thought giving him 30mil per was a good idea.
Bad results = failure and now we are paying the piper with no results (SB victory) to show for it.
So you're telling me not having Hargrave and Deebo would have got us closer to a superbowl?
The piper needed to be paid eventually, no matter what. We're talking two separate timeliness here: brock purdy on a rookie deal, and Brock Purdy on a contract extension.
Separating process from results is far from semantics. Bad process and good process can both lead to same results, especially with things like football when there are so many things you can't control.
