Sherman Signs with 49ER'S (Updated)

[RobertWeathers]

$5 million bonus ...

Paying that to a player coming off double achilles surgery is major risk taking at it's finest

 

[ATippett56]

Didn’t someone post some twitter link where some agents said they expect him to be offered around $7M? They must be some ****ty agents if that’s what they would’ve gotten him as their client.

Where these agents wearing diapers, sporting a bib, and sucking on a pacifier?

It still isn't. You already know that at age 30 coming off an ACL tear, he will be 70-80% of the player he was before. You don't pay nearly as much money for that.

Are you saying Sherman is coming off of an ACL tear?

Baby boss agents fo sho!

Bring back Ellis Hobbs.

Well, if Lewis walks in FA, the Pats will need a kick returner.

Hey, I wanted Sherman to be Pat as bad as anybody, but he’s got a family to feed. He’s already got a ring & he did what was best for him and his family. Respect.

Well, maybe not "family to feed" at the Antonio Cromartie level, but same principle.

I admit that I am wearing a broad smile. Now, the Patriots should take the 39 million
they have saved and offer it to Solder.

Hope we get a cornerback. Other options. Idk if Sherman actually wanted to win

 

[JMC00]

No Sherman, Talib, or Peters. Great it'll be wonderful watching Rowe, Jones, and Jones blow coverages. And one is coming off an ACL tear.

Sherman just got $13m per
Broncos weren't trading Talib to the Pats
Chiefs weren't trading Peters to the Pats

Stop whining about them.

 

[maineman209]

There is that, and the fact that we never even reached out to him....did we? If we made an offer and lost out, I’d be a bit irritated, but if we didn’t even reach out to him, then BB&Co. either have something up their sleeves or are okay with what we’ve got.

We don't know if the Pats made an offer or not and probably never will. We do know, of course, that whatever the media take turns out to be, it'll be pure BS because they don't know, either.

Meanwhile, I'll take "Something Up Their Sleeves" for $1.06M.

49ers actually going for it all. Hope they flop

Count me as glad that both Talib and Sherman aren’t here at near $10M. Both are big risks considering age or injury, and Gilmore is already making big money despite having superb safeties to help. The front 6 is where the help is really needed, and that was the bigger problem is SB52 and throughout the season. I was bummed about the Bennett trade falling through, so hopefully they can add some more pieces to help that unit...along with Shelton.

I hate when we have to draft a cornerback. Last guy they nailed was Asante Samuel who was decent. DMac was good for one year and flopped after that.

 

[bormio]

And people thought we’d get him for 7 mil ..... geez

Hoping for a Lb and a DE in the draft. They might have to draft a CB if they don't get one in free agency unless they feel good about the unit they have.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Well, shelton is better than nothing so far

 

[PWRxWLF]

This is the post about the agents I was referring to.

Next season's schedule they will face some passing teams. We need a decent secondary. I still have my doubts on Rowe although he has the skill makeup.

Logan Ryan, you know the cornerback who actually won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, says hello.

He got good in the end but he struggled in the beginning
