Garcon would be a huge get for #49ers in terms of veteran leadership for a position that needs it. They will otherwise be very young at WR.

Definitely not a yearly average. The contract is likely front loaded to pay him a lot of money upfront. Smaller cap charges in future years.

Not 16M total. 16M in the first year.

Pierre Garçon to sign with the 49ers. He was our No. 8 WR in 2016 and dropped only one of his 80 catchable targets.

My guess is that the average will be around $9 or $10 million.

We are highly valuing his knowledge of Kyle's system more than anything right now. Kyle clashed with the ATL WR's in 2015 to get them to buy-in. Garcon won't require that and will help get all our WR's and the QB on the same page much quicker.

Very smart to front load the deal in 2017 making him cheaper for the rest

Looks like Pierre Garcon will sign with the 49ers. He was on fire the 2nd half of 2016. pic.twitter.com/zNnZkTYNcO

Good point. Players highly value cash up front
