The beauty of it (unless I've been misinformed) is that 2010 and 2011 are uncapped years for the NFL... We can tag him again next year (for approximately 20 mil), as well as the year after (for approximately 24 mil), without any salary cap drawbacks... Then, when he is 32 in 2012 we can franchise him again (a 4th time), and trade him for whatever we can get for him, having effectively retained his services through the prime of his career...

The decision is not 100 percent about the non-capped year. If the NFL cannot reach an agreement with the players association, then it will be non-capped. I believe, but I am not 100 percent sure.

I THINK the deadline has passed for 2010, with 2011 now the target of the discussion... But, I too am not sure about this...

heh, cruel is definitely in the eye of the beholder... I can't imagine the definition of cruel being 20-24 million for 17 games... =)

Heck, if I was Pep, I would be PRAYING this is what happened... it would effectively be a 3 year $61 million contract! :eek:

It's my understanding that you can only tag a guy 2x.

Given the apparent lack of interest, I think it's much more likely that Peppers will change his mind a sign a contract with us.

Actually, upon further research, the limit is 3 times... So in my scenario we'd have to knock off the 4th year of it... Oh well, we'd still have him til he was 32... heh

I'm fairly certain that 2 years is the limit, but who knows in an uncapped year. It's time to renegotiation with the players association and all bets are off. We just don't really know what the rules are this year, but all bets on, all bets off, I'd say peppers and his agent fvcked themselves, nicely... :lol:

      High praise for TMac

      Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is putting the league on notice early into his NFL career, and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is well aware.  “I think he’s a stud,” Shanahan told reporters Thursday. “He’s going to be one of the best receivers in this league sooner than later. He’s got all the skill sets to do it, and I think he’s just getting started.”  Through 11 games played, McMillan has racked up 748 receiving yards on 54 receptions. He ranks sixth in the NFL in receiving yards and leads all rookies in the category.  Carolina selected McMillan as the No. 8 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. San Francisco had the 11th overall pick.  Did the receiver out of Arizona catch Shanahan’s eye in draft preparation?  “Yeah, big time,” Shanahan said.  Shanahan also said that he thought the receiver would be taken well ahead of the 49ers’ draft position, but the team did their due diligence when scouting the best overall draft picks in the 2025 class. With McMillan off the board, San Francisco ended up selecting defensive end Mykel Williams with the 11th pick to bolster its defensive line. https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/kyle-shanahan-tetairoa-mcmillan/1893558/

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      In basically every win but Atlanta he's had 2-3 plays that were a big deal but he also was part of why we needed those 2-3 plays instead of just cruising.
