I thought we were "signing or own guys" the last two years

The good thing about every offseason for the 49ers for the last several years is it prepares fans not to get their hopes up too high. Makes seeing all the losses not so shocking or surprising.

We are willing to give up cap room to keep both McDonald and Goldson. Spikes was a little surprising, but perhaps the coaches like Bowman, and want a little more speed at the position?
Managing the salary cap isn't about spending to the limit at every opportunity, it's about getting the best bang for the buck. Good deals do not exist all the time. You have to wait for your bargains and value.
We got Justin Smith at a great value, and ironically, we got Spikes at a great value too.
The team that gets the most out of their salary cap, has little dead money. The team that spends like crazy to get the current hot item, winds up with tons of dead money in the long run.
I sure as heck would rather spend wisely, than spend like the Redskins and Raiders, and did big holes that take years to get out of. Both those teams constantly bring in big name free agent corners, wide-outs and d-linemen, and what has it gotten them?
Well said. To be honest I am not that upset over any of the players that left. Bass is the one I am most surprised by but understand that another team simply out bid us.
Under Sing we were going for a "big team" that would simply dominate the LOS. Under Harbaugh, I think we will value speed and smarts. In today's NFL, I just feel the latter is the better way to go.
