One thing Les and Fisher did well in '12 was put together our franchises' best punter/kicker combination in team history.
Legatron is truly a great kicker, and aside from one inconsistent year, has been Mr. reliable.
I could see this combination staying together for a decade, or more.
What are the chances the Niners make a move for Bell?

Jerick McKinnon contract gives 49ers plenty of options after year one

As always, the 49ers have

Fooch’s update: We cleared up the numbers
The San Francisco 49ers signed Jerick McKinnon to a four-year contract worth up to $36.9 million, but in reality it is along the lines of a one-year deal with the team having options after 2018. NFL reporter Aaron Wilson posted the salary and bonus details, which includes an option bonus for 2021.

Jerrick McKinnon 49ers deal: $36.9M, $14.3M gtd, $2M bonus, salaries $4.2M, $3.7M, $6.5M, $6.9M; $5.5M roster bonus 2018
has a $6.9M option bonus for 2021 league year to be exercised prior to end of 2020 league year
4:06 PM - Mar 14, 2018
NFL reporter Ben Volin offered his own thoughts, describing the deal as effectively one year with $11.7 million in year one cash. His 2019 salary is guaranteed for injury, and becomes fully guaranteed if he is on the roster next spring, which is par for the course for many 49ers contracts.

Jerrick McKinnon really only got one year fully guaranted from the 49ers, but he'll get $11.7m guaranteed this year, with a chance to make $12m. Big time payout or him
4:09 PM - Mar 14, 2018
McKinnon is making some solid money with a chance to earn even bigger money if he proves effective in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. At the same time, if he struggles, the 49ers will have gambled big in 2018, but really not gambled much of anything beyond that.
As we’ve said before, Paraag strikes again. If we don’t see any improvement from McKinnon it will be wasted money, but given what Kyle Shanahan and Bobby Turner have done in the past with a host of running backs, it is hard not to be at least a little excited about this addition. It’s not a cheap move by any means, but it’s certainly not the end of the world as some would have thought when the first news came out.

From the looks of the deal Whiners can get out of the contract without much trouble.
So Bell to Whiners could happen. Stay tuned. The Whiners would have to at least match Gurley's contract and lose draft pick (s).

Great read. I didn’t realize Marcus was a CA boy. I’m going to guess he will have a bunch of friends and family at the Monday night game. Hope they’re loud and sit with Goff’s contingent.

Sam Bradford Embraces Another Chance To Start

Sam Bradford looked youthful as he strolled to a press conference podium at the Cardinals’ practice facility on Wednesday afternoon.
The veteran quarterback – who is only 30, after all, despite his years in the league -- had a freshly shorn haircut and wore an amenable smile.
As the regular season approaches, he has good reason to flash those pearly whites.
Bradford suffered through another knee ailment with the Vikings last year – one that robbed him of all but six quarters on the field – and in the midst of it, he questioned whether his playing career might be over.
The Cardinals gave him that answer, signing Bradford in free agency and keeping him locked in as the starter after selecting Josh Rosen with the No. 10 overall pick in the draft. Bradford will make his debut on Sunday afternoon against the Redskins, hoping to revitalize his career while also appreciating that he made it back at all.
“At this point,” Bradford said, “you just realize how special each game is.”
Bradford has experienced some of the highest highs in football, winning the Heisman Trophy and becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. He has also dealt with the lowest of the lows, missing the majority of three seasons because of knee injuries, including a pair of torn ACLs.
Bradford played all 16 games only twice in his first eight seasons. He has missed 48 games in his career, while playing in 80.
The Cardinals were abundantly cautious with him early, as Bradford was more observer than active participant in offseason work. The activity level increased in training camp and he made it through the preseason unscathed.
“I know that right now (the knee) does feel as good as it’s felt in a long time,” Bradford said. “I’ve done everything in my power to put myself in this position. If something happens and I get injured, or if something happens and it doesn’t hold up, I’m going to hold my head high knowing that I put my body and myself in the best position to succeed. I think that’s all you can do.”
Bradford has not reached his potential in the NFL because of injuries, but the natural talent is still evident. Practice squad quarterback Charles Kanoff said Bradford would go entire days this offseason without throwing an incomplete pass.
While Bradford only played one full game last season, it was enough to capture Washington coach Jay Gruden’s attention. Bradford threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns in Minnesota’s season-opening win over the Saints.
“If you protect Sam Bradford and you give him time to throw, he’s as good as anybody, really,” Gruden said Wednesday in a conference call with Arizona reporters.
The Cardinals have designed an offense that allows Bradford to get the ball out of his hand quickly. When he does need more time, the offensive line must keep him upright.
“We’re the only position where our responsibility is to keep another human being healthy,” guard Justin Pugh said. “We’re looking forward to going out there and doing our job and protecting Sam, as well as all the other guys that are out there.”
Bradford showed off his arm talent in the preseason and in training camp, finding wide receivers with precision. While the injury concern is well founded, coach Steve Wilks is feeling optimistic about his quarterback.
“He’s at a great place right now,” Wilks said.
Bradford is his ninth season, and with a career passer rating of 85.1, maybe he’s a finished product. Then again, maybe there is more.
Bradford set a single-season completion record in 2016 with the Vikings and seemed at ease during training camp in yet another new offense. Like everyone else in the locker room, Pugh would love to see what Bradford is capable of with a full year of health.
“He’s a guy that’s been through a lot of trials and tribulations,” Pugh said. “You always cheer for those guys to come back and play well. Let’s get Sam to come back and show everyone how talented and how good of a player he is. I would love to be a part of that ride. We’re looking forward to doing that with him.”
