LOL the whiners just paid Purdy $53M a year

[94Smith]

Plus saved considerable money. Where's the downside even if he IS a lateral move, which has yet to be established? Look, not all of us can be the 49ers with a history of intentionally violating the salary cap and shoving bags of money to guys under tables, ok?

It's exactly as you said, moving from the known to the unknown. But if you weren't making the playoffs with the known consistently , making the move might be worth it

And now the Niners make Fred Warner the highest paid LB.

Sources: 49ers, Fred Warner reach 3-year, $63M extension​

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After completing lucrative contract extensions with quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle in recent weeks, the San Francisco 49ers had one more key player to take care of to wrap up their most pressing offseason business: linebacker Fred Warner.

On Monday, the Niners and Warner checked that box as he agreed to a three-year, $63 million contract extension, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal ties Warner to the team through the 2029 season. The reworked deal also returns Warner to the top of the list of highest-paid off-ball linebackers in the league at $21 million per season and adds $56 million in guaranteed money to a deal that no longer had any, the sources told Schefter.

It's like Lynch is playing a game of "Can you top that" in terms of handing out overpay'ing contracts, and he's the only participant in that game.

The older I get, the more I'm definitely all about pursuing another ring at all costs, I'm not that interested in being a perennial "wild card contender" and that's it.

In my opinion you moved laterally and got a draft pick

Which is moving up….

 

[Sperrydogg]

If pressure is important to you, Milroe would be even worse than Darnold. Both have been complete trash the brighter the lights get.

So then there’s no where to go but up?

 

[Sperrydogg]

He's every bit as good as Goff, Tua, J Love and T Law all who get paid this much so not sure how you avoid it other than trading him

I agree with this, it’s just not saying much, you shoulda added geno and Darnold, I wish the hawks could get T Law
