Not a big fan of this...
...but for some reason I keep wondering if the Niners let Kap walk and make a play for RG3. Chip and RG3?
Would at least be interesting.
Do they need to hit the cap minimum yet? It's weird what you and I used to argue about, since 2012, seems true. I mean I used to say as soon as Levis is built Jeb will cut all the costs he can, and winning will be secondary.
If that were true he wouldn't be paying both Tomsula and Kelly right now. He's paying Tomsula 10.5 million to go away and Chip is making 1 mil more than Harbaugh did.
That's of course no guarantee its a good hire...just talkin' $$$$$$.
The reason they are in the cap situation they are in tho has more do with retirements than anything else tho. Willis, Justin, Anthony Davis...all off the books. Boldin contract expired, Vernon traded (and you see how great he was now in Denver).
This salary cap situation is a byproduct of good planning (not overpaying free agents) and unexpected retirements. If they let Bethea and Brooks go they'd be over 60 mil under and if they somehow traded Kap (and I don't know where I stand on that) they could be 70 mil under.
Problem is....is ther even anyone out there worth spending that much money on? All they guys I'd want will likely end up tagged. I'd rather just get to the salary floor than spend all that money on fools gold.
