Oh I'm not arguing. As noted, I've not watched enough of him to comment otherwise. You answered my question with your comment about not feeling as though he's worth it.

EDIT: Don't you guys have like a metric ton of cap space?

Yeah, it's worth overpaying him to take a chunk out of that cap space, adn to show we're willing to pay people to keep them. I'm saying yeah it's worth more than he would normally fetch and It'd be upsetting if he turned it down to go play for a team for less money.

Center on the best offensive line in football, probably worth overpaying a bit given his age.

Honestly, it's also just sending a message that we're willing to retain players since RM is developing a rep as a cheap GM. I'm not against retaining him, the hmmm was more about his supposedly refusing it.

I knew Vince was getting cut but it still hurts so much.
At the very least, really glad he left with another ring.

 

[ScottSullivan]

Long as they teach him to hold like a motherfucker the difference will be negligible.

Tell justin Smith he holds to his face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgpPz72Z4Ik

There's still hope he comes back

 

[kaiju]

And that ends the 49ers free agency tour! I think thats about half of the cap space we had just to sign docket. Ands thats assuming brooks gets cut lol.

He's no justin smith but good signing

Nah the Niners adjusted cap number for 2015 is $149.855 million, including 6.5 million in unused cap space from last season carried over. That unused cap space pretty much just went to Dockett, so they still have plenty in the pockets.

Question is will Dockett replace McDonald or Justin Smith?

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

He won't though. He'll get paid elsewhere.

Hard to say at this point. Seems to depend on if Justin Smith retires or not. Did docket play 3-4 DE in Arizona? I always thought he was more of a 4-3 DT

 

[TheFatOne]

Going to miss big Vince, but he isn't the same player he once was. Still a solid DT though. Not surprised by this at all though. That number was just too high for a player like Vince. Sad day seeing my favorite player leave the team though.

Everyone in my class is an idiot so my teacher is redoing the entire course 3 weeks in and now I have to redo my paper and we have quizzes every class now and I was going great it just means more work for me plus you know the dolphins doing dolphin things

I can already tell I won't be able to hang on the leaderboards - too much of a mindfuck for me

5 star'd up to the 3rd set of levels though, and I'm still enjoying myself

Vince Wilfork to the Lions?

 

[spyder_ur]

#neverforget

Such an incredible play for a man his size. It always seemed like he had pretty good hands and was all around a very good athlete.

 

[Bread]

Ok so that's a big chunk of money off the cap, go bring Devin and Revie back dammit!

 

[ActStriker]

Chris Wesseling is mad at me

Worrying about his legacy when the guy is 24?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

The Broz gets screwed once again.

 

[jbug617]

Bears are shopping Marshall

 

[Jarnet87]

Wilfork should come to Tampa and help clog up the middle for McCoy. Will be like Booger and Sapp all over again.

 

[ACE 1991]

Man, I can't wait to see how this Mariota drama wraps up for da Iggles. I am also terrified that he could end up being a bust after we sell the house in order to get a high enough pick to draft him.

 

[Bread]

So Wilfork's release cleared up 8 million, and if I remember correctly cutting Mayo would clear up 10, I wonder if we see that announced today.

Mayo won't happen, his contract is injury guaranteed until he passes a physical.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

We are so blessed :')

Spoiler

Though if there's any team that can cultivate a CB from crap to gold, it's us

EDIT: Come to seattle Wilfork!!

Wilfork can be your Boldin! Shame you in the superbowl then join your team out of pity

Ps

I like the dockett signing. I read a story that tomsula chased dockett down after a game against the cards a couple years ago to compliment his game

 

[MechDX]

I guess since Mech aint here..

Wilfork to the Texans because of "connections".

I would take Wilfork to Texans on a smaller 2 year deal to mentor Louis Nix. The connections could actually come into play here. Vrabel sending texts to Vince. lol

Now Wilfork on a team in the city where Ted Johnson is part of the media? Could be fun!

Former Dolphins WR Brian Hartline is visiting the Texans today.

Dre for Hartline......seems like a nice balance.

This tomsula guy sounds like a sexual predator, what with his voluminous chest hair, mustache, and chasing people out to their cars!! I don't know about this guy!!

Hartline lost his grittiness, you will be disappointed friend.

 

[Bread]

Looks like we save 6 million if we cut him after June 2nd, so that doesn't help now but maybe they get creative with a restructure before then to free up some cash.

There's no way he's back on the roster next season at his current $10 million cap hit though.

Ted is such an ass for that comment.

 

[Tom Penny]

Mayo is gone too unless he takes a massive cut. Hightower injury makes them kind of sort of need him for a little while.

To be honest is this is Revis/Mccourty related then

The Orange Page
‏@theorangepage On @PeterBurnsRadio's show this morning it was said that two of the four teams contacting Denver for Brock Osweiler were the Browns & Texans

Interesting. Playing hardball with Mallet? Broncos and Kubes interested in Andre?

There was talk last year the Texans contacted the Broncos about Osweiler.

I definitely agree he needs a restructure/paycut, but they won't outright release him anytime soon.

 

[Bread]

Absolutely, this move looks like progress towards signing Revie to me.

 

[MechDX]

Hartline lost his grittiness, you will be disappointed friend.

It is the Brian Gaine "connection". lol

When Gaine got promoted this year there was talk that this is now the BOB and Gaine show even though Rick Smith still has the official GM title. Im not to enthused about his potential signing either way.

 

[ampere]

Looks like we are almost definitely drafting or signing a DT

Even if Vince gets on a new contract he is getting old.

[Squall ASF]

I'm pretty disgusted with Dockett, fucking hypocrite. He blasts Dansby publicly for chasing money just last year and he does the same shit now. The difference is that Dansby was a FA and Dockett was cut but we wanted to keep him and made him an offer so he can't act like we cast him to the wolves. The guy went to SF for a larger contract, period and it's not even a huge offer that you can't refuse. Mostly it leaves a bad taste because he was one of the most vocal players about disliking or hating the niners whenever we were about to play them and you could see him kick it into another gear when we did play them so it's just gross seeing him go to that specific team.

As for losing him, I don't think anyone that knows what they are talking about will care much. He's nowhere near the player he once was and Rucker was outperforming him in practice and training camp before he tore his ACL. We would have liked to keep him for depth and rotation but most of all, locker room and side of the field presence as he was an emotional leader for us but he's not worth any real money anymore. Definitely a decent to solid pickup by the Niners depending on how he bounces back from the injury but not someone I'm going to cringe having to play against.

Whatever, Niners are trash now so have fun finishing your career without ever sniffing the playoffs again, Dockett!

You're mad at a guy you cut for going somewhere else? Seriously?

I explained why, it's not because he didn't come back to us.

Report: Texans’ D.J. Swearinger under investigation for allegedly stealing his own truck

From the TMZ report:


According to a police report filed in Houston, Swearinger took his 2013 F250 truck to Espi Motors to get his ride pimped out like a boss — matte black paint with a Batman logo, speakers, new wheels, custom grill, train horn, etc.

But according to Espi, when he came to pick up the whip, he got sticker shock … and drove it off the lot WITHOUT paying for the work.
Espi tried to track down Swearinger to get the cash, but D.J. went M.I.A. so Espi filed a police report.

Can we cut this ass clown now?
