[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 539244, member: 7277"] Agreed. Offering early contracts is risk/reward. If your player outperforms the contract, it was a great deal (Jordy Nelson). If not, you're left with a bad contract. (Burnett). Case in point, Brad Jones has a $4M cap hit in 2014. That's painful, because, really, does Brad Jones bring anything to the table that Lattimore could not have for $500K? AJ Hawk has a $5.1M cap hit. That's over $9M burned between two mediocre players. We're burning $9M on Hawk and Jones, and the 49ers are spending $14M on Bowman and Willis. How much more of an impact is that for just $5M more? So it's not just the amount of the contract that makes a guy overpaid, but his value relative to that amount. It works the other way, too. Rodgers is worth every penny of his $22M a year to us. If his market value was $30M a year, we should pay it. Meanwhile, Flacco makes $20.1M a year in Baltimore to be an average NFL QB. [/QUOTE]
