1 being Green, 2 being Roaf, 3 - LJ, 4 - Gonzalez, 5- Waters, 6- Shields, 7- Weigmann, 8 - Welbourne, 9- Kennison, 10- T-Rich, 11-Parker.

I just don't see the reason to pump over a million into a position that there are younger options for.

I'm not ragging on T-Rich here. I loved him as a Chief. Great guy. But, he's 34 and you don't give 34-year olds 2.5 million over 2 years in a position that isn't really compensated in the NFL.

As I said, Fred Beasley could do just as good of a job as a blocking back as T-Rich.

Your point about the $ is well taken, but to suggest Fred Beasley is as good of a blocker as T-Rich is just stupid.

If you've watched some 49er games, you would know that Beasley is an excellent blocker.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall TRich's last contract was 4 years $5M. Who's got an NFLPA link with salaries?

Beasley is solid, no question.
