Yeah I think that is way to much and I am glad the Seahawks cut him.

Man what a fuck you to the Seahawks too!!! He's getting paid MORE! I'm sure they can cut him but so what, this year they're using a lot of cap on a guy that almost assuredly won't be 100% at the start of the season and probably never the same guy completely.

I never imagined someone would give him that kind of contract.

No one ever really comes back 100% from that injury. I have my doubts on a position that has to rely on smarts AND speed to be at the top of the profession. I actually like the guy, I hope he comes back. Sucks the human body isn't meant for this kind of abuse.

I mean, to be honest, seems like you guys are panicking over the Rams moves. Anything can happen though, injuries in the NFL are a bitch. Shit we almost went 0-2 against you guys anyways hah. Can't really count that last game though.

Yeah, even after that almost career-ending knee injury in Seattle, Bowman still came back fairly strong. It wasn't until he tore his achilles that he truly started to look like a broken, old man.

I had been telling my buddies all off-season that Sherman would end up in San Fran, because it made so much sense. We needed a veteran, we needed a corner, and we have a ton of cap room. I think it's a fantastic move if he still has another 1-2 "good" years in him, but that injury is a total game changer to the human body.

Who knows, don't think you guys are a win now team but stranger things have happened. You finished the year strong so why not. Still I'd take what we did over this. High risk, high reward but I really wouldn't count on a lot of reward. NFC is looking strong with the Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Falcons, Saints, Packers etc...

Now that is just a dumb statement. Everyone knew possibly the single biggest need the 49ers had was at CB, and they were going to most likely be targeting Trumaine Johnson or Malcom Butler (of course until Sherman was released). The 49ers clearly had plans to bring in a FA CB, and probably still grab one in the draft. So saying this is in reaction to the Rams moves is just silly.

Some more details on the contract

No No you're totally right bro. I can't fucking wait to see you overpay TJ. I'm sitting here shaking.

Ok so where are we at now? You paid a premium for a guy with 2 achilles injuries. I WANT you guys to sign TJ dammit lol.

I'm just doing some shit talking man, you have been and will always be the #1 Rams rival.

I guess you just have to think of this from a real rivals perspective. This legendary Seahawk has what is almost always a career altering injury signs a big deal with a division rival, the hated Niners! Now both teams have ill feelings towards each other already and I just get to sit back and laugh. This is fucking great and you can't ruin it for me!!!!!

49ers must be the favs to win the super bowl now........lmao

Like the Eagles weren't already hateable enough.

How the fuck is giving Sherman 7 million guaranteed a risky move? He might hit some incentives and reap in the 13 million, but if he does, its worth money because he would have played at a high level. The guy has been the best DB in the NFL since 2012. Six seasons is forever, I hate the guy but he has played at a high level for a long time. Hurting his achilles sucks and he might never be the same, but he represents himself in contract negotiations and obviously believes he has some years left.

John Lynch isnt an idiot. They were doing their due diligence, I wanted them to sign Butler, but Im sure they were confident after he went through a physical. The guy was drafted in 2011, he was an All Pro 3 times, 4 time Pro Bowler and single handedly dismantled one of the Niners Super Bowl runs. he is what, 28 years old? He cant be older than 29. If he even has two DECENT seasons for us, it will be well worth the cost. Our secondary was horrible last year, almost anyone at the position is going to be worth 7 million dollars in comparison to last year.

The 49ers are still lacking on defense, and if Foster doesnt come back they are really going to be in trouble. If Hyde signs somewhere else they better draft themselves a good runner, or I fear they will be putting too much pressure on Garoppolo.

Yeah honestly that contract looks like a prove it 1 year deal that could turn into a bigger one if Sherman plays great the first year...which would be the hardest year to do so coming off the injury. If he does, it's a bonus. If he doesn't, it won't cost nearly as much.
