Sanders signed for 5
Deitrich Smith signed for 3.5
Clemons signed for around 4 iirc

Those were the values they should have pursued if they were serious about trying to contend next year without screwing the cap.

Another Strong Safety when we need a Center Fielder. A WR with screws in his feet. A mother****ing Guard. And a Safety nobody seemed to have wanted.

No, they don't screw the cap. But we still have to shuffle our existing contracts around to free up space. It's basically taking out a loan with interest on the back. It may seem like a small deal to you. But because we wasted several years in the Pioli years, if we want to keep the window open past 3 years, every single dollar matters.

And we still wouldn't have solved how we extend Alex Smith, Justin Houston, and Eric Berry (Berry less so because he saves money through a restructure). Three guys who are more important than any free agent on your list if we're talking short-term window.
