Yeah, the big free agent signings have not really panned out too well.

I guess Wells and Finnegan served a purpose for a year or two but it didn't really put the team into the Playoffs. Cook was a bust. Jake Long was good but injured.

Best t h eyes don't overspend on any of the top guys unless it is a real premiere player like Bouye. I'd feel better giving him what they will give Tru.

Just heard on the radio that Brandon Marshall just signed a 2 year 12 mill deal with the Giants.
Good signing for them
Perhaps the first domino to fall?

Yeah, I'm with Tom. I like it when we let those teams who are eager to overpay go nuts while we wait for the market to settle some. Of course it may be true, there's a fine line between waiting and waiting too long.

Mortensen reporting Garcon expected to make $16 million first year with 49ers.

So if that happens. Possibly Cousins and Garcon to Frisco as Les Snead does squat!

Totally agree. However, cannot blame Fisher any longer and the 42 mill to Austin was a joke.

Pierre Garcon for $16 million puts him square in that "over-eager to over-pay" class I didn't think Garcon belonged in. Les Snead, keep doing squat.

If squat means not creating more cap space by restructuring Tavon and/or Trading Tru, then squat is not good. Team has too many needs to address with just the draft and 19 million in cap space.

That is an obscene amount of money for that guy. Cousins is the guy I don't like going to SF.

With all the money they have to spend we can't compete (or overpay) for guys like SF can.
