Richard Sherman Signs 3 Year Deal With 49ers

Again, people wanting Sherman, or ANY big name...good luck. Teams have TONS of cap space to throw around this year on a weak crop of FA.  Guys are going to get overpaid left and right.  Thinking we're going to sign a top FA with our holes and 20ish mil in cap space?  Don't play yourselves.

That’s a HUGE if.

Got to remember he’s coming off an achilles. Those are pretty rough, especially for a corner

I'm not disagreeing but look at how tiny the signing bonus is. Probably guarantees for this year as well but likely an easy out after this year if he doesn't come back well. They have a sh*tload of cap space. The contract makes more sense than Jimmy G's.

    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
