Williams’ deal was the bigger of the two, according to numbers obtained by ESPN.com. He was given a $400,000 signing bonus. He’s scheduled to make $550,000, plus a $100,000 workout bonus in 2012. In 2013, his salary will rise to $900,000 with a $100,000 workout bonus.

Williams is viewed as a player who can be a solid backup at guard and tackle and even has the potential to develop into a starter.

Barnidge isn’t a threat to take playing time away from Greg Olsen, but can be valuable as a backup, especially if Jeremy Shockey is not re-signed after this season. Barnidge was given a $50,000 signing bonus. He’s scheduled to make $615,000 next season and also can collect a $25,000 workout bonus.

interesting. i wonder if garry williams coming back puts anyone's jobs in question (particularly bell, ziemba, schwartz, bernadeau, hangartner). maybe even wharton who is making loads of money and not playing up to it.

also i wonder if barney is being brought back for his ST play or if TIGHT END GURU rob chudzinski approved him to become TE of the future if/when shock leaves.

shockey aint coming back..........

Disagree. I think Shock is here for at least 1 more year.

Good bye Wharton.

Travelle could be a cap casualty, but I doubt it. In spite of what Football's Future said, to my eyes he has been very solid this year. I do look for him to be restructured though.

We will typically carry 9 or 10 linemen into camp. If you count the starters as Wharton, Hangartner,Kalil, Otah and Gross, then that leaves Bell, Ziemba, Schwartz, Bernadeau and Williams. With Otah very questionable, and the likelihood that all 9 of them making it out of preseason healthy at 50% or less, I think we will need all of them.

As for Wharton, he was given a 6 year contract in 2008. I suspect he will be here in 2012. After that who knows.

I doubt he gets restructured. He will make 5.7 million next year which is not excessive for a starting left guard.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
