GunnerBill Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Wasn't he considering retirement? That sort of money might sway my considerations too.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Good for him. The guy has been through a lot. Crazy money though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was involved in a dispute over injury with the WFT who basically were implying he was faking the injury. He threatened retirement trying to get them to trade or release him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think he was reportedly pondering it this offseason too. May have been a tactic to get the 49ers to up their offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I think Staley got more last year in guaranteed money so this pry isn't as crazy as it seems. Just glad KC didn't get him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I know he is a elite Left Tackle, but he also turns 33 this summer. Even if he only gets the guarantee among three years and is 36, that would still be over $18 mil./yr. it doesn’t seem like a good deal for both sides, only the player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Great player....but wow. He’ll be 33 before the season starts. 55M gtd...look like it could be a 3 year contract paying him 23M a year if SF chooses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are almost certainly correct but will they regret signing a 33 year old for 3 years? It seems like a huge investment in an older guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrtonHearsaWho Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Happy for the man after what he dealt with in Washington. I'm also happy that we were able to sign the Shnowman when we did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a huge investment in an older guy. Offensive linemen can usually play a little longer. It's not like he's a skill position guy who is old at 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Dumb. He’ll be 33 just before the season starts. But at least it keeps him away from AFC competitors,for whom he could be good at least for the next couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
