He was definitely overpaid but make no mistake about it, Kwon helped transform the defense last year into elite. His speed and coverage along with Warner were a vital part of making the Wide 9 work for us and he fit mold of the type of weakside LB needed in this scheme. But hitting on Greenlaw made him expendable to say the least. Sure won't miss the missed tackles but I appreciate energy and athleticism he brought to the unit.

Especially if Lawrence does enter the draft, what are we looking at in terms of compensation if we were interested in Darnold?

When we signed Kwon, Warner was coming off a decent rookie season and Greenlaw wasn't on the team yet. If the niners brass knew how good Warner was going to become, i wonder if we would have signed Kwon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The biggest problem with the Alexander signing is that we reset the market. You never want to be the team that resets the market of a position in free agency 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner doesn't play the same position as Kwon I just read we paid him 25 million dollars for 14 games. I mean, it's not McKinnon bad, but that's bad, even though I agree with 757 about what the signing meant for us last year, the money is what was always going to make this a horrible signing Edited November 3, 2020 by N4L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justone2 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just now, Forge said: No Was the same offseason though right? But yeah was just too big of a contract to really be worth it in the long run. Coupled with the emergence of Warner and Greenlaw it made it easier to move away from him.

Just a bad rule of thumb to ever reset the market in free agency, temporary or not. Especially for a player like kwon. We paid him more than Kuechly at the time. Insanity.

For example i don't think any of us will complain about resetting the TE-market for Kittle. But even Juice i don't mind raising the bar so much higher than other FB's because his contract is still pretty much a drop in the bucket and how big of a part of the offense he is.

This was not free agency. Juice's contact was too small to be impactful, which is not typical. That being said, it was still a ridiculous overpayment that was unnecessary. Just because it wasn't big enough to be really impactful doesn't mean it was a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
