Wasn't he considering retirement? That sort of money might sway my considerations too....

 

Not really. 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.

No I think he was reportedly pondering it this offseason too. May have been a tactic to get the 49ers to up their offer.

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 

 

I expect it is a 3 year deal with two dummy years to spread a big signing bonus out.

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.

Offensive linemen can usually play a little longer. It's not like he's a skill position guy who is old at 30.
