What I do think is it will be the benchmark for Tony's asking price next year. And KC won't pay it, I hope.

I think his asking price for next year will have to do with his play next season. If he has a year like last year, I think he could resign for a much lower price. If he gets back to the high level he played when he had 100 catches, he could be asking for that sort of contract. Like you said, the Chiefs won't pay it.

5 years, $25 million for a rookie tight end?! The Niners are insane.

That's the popularity of the NFL for you. I can't believe Vince Young is getting 26 million guaranteed, I don't think he's a sure thing at all. If you bomb on that it's a massive waste of money.

I can't wait to see what LJ asks for. He could ask for a 30 million dollar signing bonus up front, and he'd deserve it. That's what I've been talking about for years when people talk about Lamar not needing renovations because he makes 20-30 million in profit per year... big deal, pretty soon that's not gonna be enough to pay one guy's signing bonus.

The 49ers

The stupidity of that organization starts right at the top...

Demonpenz · 07-29-2006, 01:36 PM

the 49ers are set up to suck for years. Alex Smith should not have been drafted that high.

In the last draft, I'm not sure if he would be even in the top 15.

I think Jason Campbell will end up being the best QB from that draft, and I don't think he'll even be all that good.

The NFL really needs to get a handle on these rookie signings.

I mean, we can sit here and argue who this best TE is AG or TG and in the end we will have to agree to disagree.

What I will say, is its not looking good for KC only because TG is up next year and AG signed a 5 yr last year(missed 1 game because of it).

Again it goes back to the fact that the NFL needs to get a handle.

Could not agree any more, these players have done nothing to prove what they can do at a professional level, but end up getting 25 millon in guaranteed money. It is way out of whack. They need a set amount of money for each pick in the draft at greatly reduced rate

Actually, the fact that TG is up next year, while AG has a 5-year deal is really irrelevant. One or two more deals like this and you can bet AG will be holding out for money, 5-year deal or not.

You knew Davis was going to get alot of money seeing what the other high picks got. If Tony Gonzalez even remotely asks for that he shouldn't be here next year, and for the Kennison holding out comments he can leave too. This is this teams last year as far as I'm concerned it's time to start getting younger and dumping players after this season.
