It would actually be pretty sweet to sign this guy a year or two from now, and then watch him become a Pro Bowler. :th2thumbs:

$8.2 million in new dead money and a slow, 350 pound, rookie, former guard starting at RT.
Now THAT's funny.

How is that Dead money? I am confused? Isn't he paying back his signing bonus? Since he is quitting how is there any dead money? This I don't understand
@Jason_OTC: Davis' unearned signing bonus is $6,533,340, which should all be subject to forfeiture. Thats a giant amount #49ers

I think it really is 4.66 Million that is unearned as of now that he will have to pay back based on info from PFT.

Was he with the 49ers before when he made the pro bowl. Nope. He chose to retire after he won a SB with the team that he got his Pro Bowler status and SB championship ring with, which is a fine time to retire. Rather than knowing the year is gong to be tough and bail on your teammates and then comeback when they don't own your rights. :stirthepot:
Last years Colin Kaepernick contract was a puzzlement for me. But, now it makes more sense. It looks as though Colin had a heads up when he agreed to a one year at a time contract. A voluntary commitment in 2014 beyond 2014 now looks like it would have been decidedly pointless.
Looks like this was a planned team massacre.

If that's the case, then hopefully that means we get to see more Looney or Marcus Martin. :stirthepot:

What on earth are you talking about?
The one year outs are TEAM options, not player options.
Its been a BAD offseason...no way around that, but:
Crabtree was never coming back. That's why they signed Smith the the money Crabtree wanted.
Iupati was never coming back. That's why they took 2 OGs in the 3rd round LAST year.
Gore was unlikely to come back and the reason they took Hyde in the 2nd round last year.
The retirements aren't controlled by the team.
Outside of The coaches, there really isn't anything you can point to that makes the argument "planned team massacre"
BTW...

Primary reason for #49ers OL Anthony Davis retiring is, indeed, concussions, source said. Was out 4 games with one last season.

uh....how exacty?
The didn't resign a 32 year old RB, a 10 mil per year guard, or a WR who wanted out.
The other guys retired.
Willis was under contract for several more years. So was Davis. Justin had at least another year. Borlands was going into his second year.
When a guy plays well, the team commits to them long term EARLY. Kap, Navorro, Staley, Willis, Anthony Davis, and many others...all players they signed long term EARLY.
Meanwhile, what's the status on Wilsons contract? Right.
