Michael Lewis (asks for release) | Page 9

not Clements, not Walt Harris, and certainly not that ball hawk Roman That's just sad. Our secondary sucks in the redzone. When opposing teams pass in the redzone I can almost guarantee that it's going to a touchdown. How can we fix this? Start a new FS, I don't care who it is. Any bum off the street is better than Roman. Start Brown over Harris. Harris is too old and slow now. Let Clements play to his style which is bump and run. We need a good FS so Clements can get physical with the WR. Michael Lewis doesn't need any help, he's a beast.

49ers SS Michael Lewis restructured his contract, taking a paycut and wiping out the final two years.
Lewis' 2010 salary drops from $4.1 million to $1.7 million plus $400,000 in bonus money. Lewis will hit free agency next year, but this was going to be his last season in San Francisco regardless. Taylor Mays was drafted as the long-term solution, and Reggie Smith is also emerging as a starting-caliber safety.

Wow, classy move on Lewis' part. Reminds me of the pay cut Ulbrich took when his LB role was diminished and he was mainly a ST player. Not to mention A. Smith took a pay cut, too (which could increase if he has a great season). Team players...

If by kind you mean, he understood when he was told, "if you want to play this year, you need to take a paycut" then yes, it was.

its definitely good, for us, to save that money, but I can't help but feel bad for a player with his concussion history being forced to make such concessions when he's obviously already a team-first guy who has put himself on the line for his teammates throughout his career.

I hope the next CBA includes greater protections, both physically and financially, for current and former players.
