This guy can play tackle, if we can structure money for him

Boone has held out since early in the offseason. The two sides are not close to a contract extension and Boone is believed to be prepared to stay away from the team until he gets a new deal. He has two seasons remaining on his contract that will pay him about a total of $4 million.

Boone signed a five-year deal in 2011 when he was a backup and the contract was essentially for backup money. He has developed into one of the better guards in the NFL.

Among the teams that could use a guard are the Buccaneers and Giants. Boone can also play tackle.

Trading Boone, a key part of the 49ers' offense, will likely be a last resort for the 49ers.

I don't know if we have the available funds to scoop him...he's looking for starting caliber money that we don't have

Geesh, the Buc's were mentioned before the Panthers as a team that can use a guard.

 

Jut goes to show you, how the national media really has no clue about the Panthers.

 

Either way, if the Panthers can get him to fit into their salary cap goals, why not.

Where is this money coming from???

[Jmac]

Just pisses me off that because of these contracts left hanging over this teams head that they are always left sucking hind teet.....two steps forward and three steps back. We can never get the puzzle piece we need.

[Jackofalltrades]

Can't afford him.

Guard isn't our problem.

The Panthers need depth at guard, not a starter. We have two pretty good guards. Tackle may be a different story.

He won't play tackle.

[Paintballr]

If he is holding out money to be paid as a starting guard, why would he play tackle for guard pay compared to starting tackle pay?

depend on how much more he wants to make.  He's due 2 mill this year, 1.2 mill next.  We have 5 mill in

cap room right now.  we could give him 3 mill this year, 2 mill next.  Don't know if that's enough for him though.

 

And I would only do this for him playing tackle, not guard.

 

 

The real question is how much would we be willing to give up if we wanted him.  I can't anything about

his ability to be tackle, but he would have to be an upgrade at tackle at anything we have on the roster.

if it fits with the cap goals, and he will play tackle for us, then by all means lets go for it.

They're right.

We have Amini Silatolu and Trai Turner.

Guard isn't our big area of concern. Tackle is.

I think we have our future Boone on the roster already in Norwell.

I was going to post this until I saw he was a guard. I dont know how well he would play tackle. Still we dont have the money. But San Fran has had a great oline for a few years now.
