Wait. Are any of those players on rookie deals?
I thought the same thing -- that Shanahan not only didn't care if Lance got hurt, but figured it would be the perfect excuse to do what he wanted to do anyway, which was to replace him with Jimmy G. Benching Lance at that point would've looked really, really bad after giving up 3 firsts and a 3rd to get him and then spending a year and a half developing him and then handing him the starting job. That would've created massive distractions, constant attention from the media, awful publicity about the move to get Lance, and never ending questions about when Lance would get another chance. The injury eliminated all of that.
Yeah, they really back loaded that contract. The final 3 years cap hits total 194 million. 137 million the last two years. They can do something the next 3 years. But are they gonna find the same talent they had a couple years ago? Odds are slim on that.
Oops! My apologies for the poor sentence structure. I meant their replacements would be on rookie contracts, offsetting the enormous cap drain that would start in year 4 of purdy’s contract.
Right on the $$, I’d say.
Are they friends of yours or something? What’s with the first name familiarity?

I may hate the 9er fanbase, but I have several 9er fan who are friends.Are they friends of yours or something? What’s with the first name familiarity?
Personally, I reserve that for Rams players only and only when I can’t be bothered to look up how spell their last name!
I think it would be easier to pretend being attracted to and hooking up with Rosie O'Donnell than to pretend rooting for the 49ers
I’ve done that for my Seahawks friends but never for a 49er lover.
I just hate em all and don't pretend at all. Fuck em
I have several friends and family members that are whiner fans. I was surrounded by them when the whiners lost to KC in the SB. Trust me. Not one of them would think for a second that I was pulling for their team. Of course I also was wearing my Rams gear just to send home the point. Then two years several of them were flicking me shit during our SB only to have to eat it when we won.
Thats what made that SB so fucking awesome—we came back in the 4th quarter, down 10, and ripped their guts out on the way to winning that SB. You know, I have rewatched THAT game MANY more times than I’ve watched the actual SB.
