Whitner got paid good luck to him

 

[chris82790]

I'll always remember whitner for his hit against the Saints. But for 8.5? Deuces.

 

[bentrill]

sad to see whitner go, but for that kind of money? Browns will Browns. Glad he cashedout, wish nothing but the best for him.

Phil Dawson will remain with 49ers

The franchise tag wasn’t a viable option for the 49ers to make sure kicker Phil Dawson remained with the team in 2014 because it would have paid him at the level of a franchised quarterback.

That didn’t eliminate the possibility of bringing him back, however, and Dawson tweeted a short time ago that he has re-signed with the team. Dawson wrote that he’s “excited and grateful” to return to the team on what Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports is a two-year deal.

Dawson is coming off a very strong season that saw him set a franchise record by making 27 straight field goals. He was 32-of-36 overall and all seven, including a game-winner in Green Bay, that he tried in the postseason. Dawson has the highest percentage of made field goals of any kicker in NFL history with at least 300 made field goals.

With Dawson joining Jay Feely, Adam Vinatieri and other veterans who have already re-signed with their teams. Steve Hauschka is the top remaining free agent set to hit the market, but a return to Seattle may be in the cards with few teams unsettled at the kicker position right now.

I was on the fence with Whitner returning from the get go. If it was for a cheap price, sure. He provides leadership and can lay the big hit, but that's about it. Glad we didn't overpay.

One of my friends thought I was crazy, but I told him last night that I wouldnt offer Whitner more than $4.5M a season.  For $8.5M?  Sorry Donte.  Good luck in Cleveland.

 

[49ersaaron8]

They were gonna let him test the open market wish the best for him. We need to draft Jimmie ward or Buchanon IMO at this point with one of those 2nds

You dont give someone the kind of contract that Bethea is rumored to have gotten with us to compete for a job.

Was just thinking the same.. $6.5 mil a year is a lot to sit on the bench... Gotta see the guarantee money

Agreed.  He is good but he didnt have a particularly good season last year.   And thats a lot of money.

 

[red80]

[rck3sactown]
