I'm not doubting that we'll sign him..
the point is, a contract should already be SET for Nick to just sign since we decided very early that he was going to be the man.. and the JOEY scenario should also have already been in everyone's mind..
DID we not KNOW what it was going to take to sign Nick? why play the waiting game, or why even wait til July if we can sign him asap?
It's not just the "Joey scenario" though....that's my point. CAA does this will most of their 1st rd picks (and clearly with other picks, Deebo says hi).
Currently there are 6 1st rd picks unsigned, CAA represents 4 of them. You'd think SF would have known when Paraag wasn't able to sign Josh Garnett (represented by CAA) until July 29th, that they'd have Thomas' deal all set the following yr? Nope, Thomas didn't sign until the first day of training camp on July 27th. You'd think they'd have a contract all set after that for McGlinchey (who's represented by CAA)? Nope, Mike didn't sign until July 23rd.
SF KNOWS about CAA and what they want for their clients, it takes time and finding common ground IMO.
WHO CARES about the other unsigned non-49ers draftees...
again, the point here is WHY WAIT?? what is the purpose??
especially for DIVA, he's only a 2nd rounder, what's taking so long?
Ask his agents...
You skipped over my post for some reason when the logic of what's happening is laid out pretty obvious in there.
Pretty sure nobody in the business is stressed out about the situation given the recent results by that agency. So why worry about it now? There is no incentive by the player or his agents to sign a month prior to training camp.
