The Niners are about 7 under the cap IIRC and have spent have spent picks on D-linemen the last few drafts. Lets be honest they aren't exactly a model franchise anyway.

Known by who? He's living off a reputation he made in one year.

Ask any 49er fan if they are sad to see Franklin go.

What picks have they spent on the DL?

Right the guy at nose tackle had nothing to do with the Niners being the 6th best team against the run last year.

I have a friend who's a huge Niners fan and writes about them for Scout. He doesn't want Franklin to go because he says they are going to replace him with Sopoaga.

The 49ers run defense has been steadily improving since Franklin got there...but it's hard to gauge how much was him because Patrick Willis is a ****ing animal and arrived the same year.

Most people would probably give the lions share of the credit to Willis because of the accolades he has received, but you have to acknowledge the play of Franklin as well, for whatever the reason he was able to play motivated for a couple years.

Trouble with signing him is that teams seemingly have no problem letting him walk out the door.

That shouldn't go unnoticed.

As a short term bandage for a reasonable number with a bunch of incentives, absolutely.

More than 3 years with a total of 18-20? No.

either way we need to improve at NT and LB

Franklin/Willis vs Edwards/Belcher

Like i said I wouldn't give him Wilfork money but to act like he's not a good player is ****ing bullshit.

Either that, or playing against the NFC West 6 times where there's virtually nothing at RB besides Steven Jackson can help.

Guy had one good year. He plays in front of a complete game changer. He was very good 2 years ago when he had money to cash in. Last year, his play fell off. Ask any 49er fan that. You want to tie up money into a guy who's basic motivation is money?

The only reason he wants him there is because they are going to put a 5-tech in his place. Again, these should all be flags that should tell you something.
