Can We Afford to Extend Our Players?

Being an uncapped year? You damn skippy we can afford to extend our players.

I doubt that we'll have to tag Franklin as well. Just wait to see what he's offered then offer him the equivalent to $1 more.

"$100 Million Waldo!"

"$100 and ONE Million Waldo!"

"Outbid by mine own wench"

"Don't hate me baby"

We don't have "average" players as krizay feels we do.

We've had AVERAGE coaching and that is changing for the better. Foerster you Bish!

I think that we could use a couple of solid FA players but we're not as bad off as some people claim us to be.

With Franklin needing an extension, Davis, Willis, Goldson, and Brooks can we afford to extend them all this season? If we do extend them will we have enough money to get 1-3 FAs and our rookies?

Franklin will be franchised--the cost for a franchise tag for DT is just over $7 million.
VD might reach a long term deal--Brent Celek just signed an 8 year $34 million deal with $11 million guaranteed. I'd expect a deal with VD to be something like $40 million with $15 million guaranteed.

Willis won't sign an extension yet. He'll be worth much more if he can hit FA with 5 Pro-Bowls under his belt.

Goldson's base salary was $550,000. I expect we can sign him to a $1 million per year salary with $2 or $3 million guaranteed.

Brooks' base salary was $535,000. I expect that we'll offer him a RFA tender for a year (which would be $1 million) to make sure that his performance wasn't a fluke before extending any kind of long term deal.

we have lots of cap room, we can extend them, sign our draft picks and pick up a FA or 2.

gotta keep brooks and willis for shiz

What the hell is everyones problem? You all act like we have the worst GM in the league.

Willis, Lawson, Crabtree, Haralson, Gore, Brown, Davis, Morgan, Staley, Goldson..etc The Rachal/Balmer draft was very disappointing, but the jury is still out. Even if that draft is a bust, we have grabbed at least 1 badass starter in each draft that our GM has orchestrated.

If you want to b***h about our drafting, go be a raiders fan.

I am actually pretty impressed with the way McGM has drafted. People that complain about his picks don't know much about football, and don't pay attention to anybody but the 9ers.

What if he would have drafted Michael Huff instead of Vernon Davis, Adam Carriker instead of Patrick Willis, Craig Davis instead of Joe Staley, or Vernand Morency instead of Frank Gore. NICE

Perhaps

Fixed the other players you named were not drafted by McCloughan. He played a part but he did not pull the trigger on them. If you blame Nolan then you must also give him the credit he is due as well.

Since it will be an uncapped year, would it be wise to extend all our essential players right now? That way we could majorly frontload their contracts, while potentially going over the salaray cap, but would be in salary cap heaven the next few years?

If those players are willing to sign their extensions then yes, it would be a great idea. It just seems VD and Willis want to wait and see what the new CBA will be or even try free agency and see how much teams are willing to throw at them.
