J-ALL-DAY Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 So pretty much the same type of deal Flowers got last offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Love it. I'm sure some Paraag magic allows us out after 2 years with minimal impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madridista Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I like Armstead and am glad he's back, but I don't see how they can effectively build out the roster for years to come with a contract this rich on the books. Really banking on a level of production that I don't think is a sure thing EDIT: hopefully we see this has a lot of "outs" once more details come to light Edited March 16, 2020 by Madridista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm thinking and with the cap at 240M or so next season, definitely not a terrible deal. Had to bring back the best DL in the game! Can easily get out of Ford's deal next season.

Those old days of cap hell are gone for teams. Teams can move money all around to make room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_locniners Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I can admit when Im wrong, I did not think this would happen, but very happy that it did. Thats a lot more money and more years than I expected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hell yeah! You don't let 26 year old HATPUTS walk in free agency. 2 minutes ago, Madridista said: I don't see how they can effectively build out the roster for years to come with a contract this rich on the books. The last year of NFL contracts rarely have any guaranteed money left. The timing of this lines up with Bosa to where we could cut AA to pay bosa if need be. 3 minutes ago, Madridista said: Really banking on a level of production that I don't think is a sure thing Hes always been productive when on the field. Dude has incredible hands for a guy that tall. His problems have been schematic or health related. Kocerics style fits much better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to do anything with Ford this offseason. Can move him next offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does put on some restrictions, but there's a lot of monopoly money when it comes to the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's what I meant. Going forward. I'm just stoked we're able to keep him. Really had my doubts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, if they can still build out the roster cap-wise I'm good. I do like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757-NINER Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Meh... probably in the minority here but I'm not a fan of this move. Have to see how the contract is structured and my thoughts could change but I'm just never going to be a fan of paying guys huge money based off one year of production. Want to see the first year cap hit and if there's an out after year one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply didn't have anyone that could do it, and we would have impacted our limited super bowl window. So I'm glad in that regard. I also would have completely understood bypassing this deal and going after someone like Shaq Lawson who is also a strong run defender and may be coming up in the pass rushing game. But everyone should be real and admit that there is some risk to this type of deal. that's a lot of money invested in that line, and AA, while he was great, isn't really a straw that stirs the drink. Still, I suspect Ford is gone after this upcoming year, so I think it'll be important to have Bosa / AA / Buck together moving forward.
