Ok. First and last over reaction post of the day....but I'm bummed about folding to Boone.

We folded?

Yep? Did he report?

Ok. I thought I read we reworked his contract. Its in the RayMac thread.

If so then it's a very bad move.

IMO.

We'll see soon enough. If Boone was given all the money that the team saved by cutting all the veteran special teamers, I wouldn't be pissed about that.

you are a sane logical poster. whatever are we going to do with you?
They re-worked some terms and waived the fines . . he did't get an extension. Sounds like a draw to me.

Yeah it would depend on the parameters of the deal if we actually caved or not.

They caved, just like they do at the end of NFCC's and SB's.

Sounds like he caved and the team have tried to save a little of his face to me.

Sounds to me like they negotiated before he reported, which he hasn't yet.

So what about the talks of rewarding a holdout, setting a bad trend, etc….

does this mean more holdouts in the offseason

We have to wait for the details.

Remember Marshawn's "new" contract for holding out? More guaranteed money, same contract.

finally some good news
If #49ers G Alex Boone is an All-Pro twice over the next two seasons, he'll earn $8M, I'm told... Which would be a win-win.
Well I guess Boone is showing up. Maybe he didn't want to practice against Ray anymore and now he just might get his wish.

Could also have been negotiated before he held out to begin with, right? Probably had 2 options -- extension and this one -- and is taking the latter.
