"This is how much Richard studied this," Marathe said. "We had a clause in a bunch of our contracts saying players got an incentive for making the Pro Bowl, even if they were medically excused from playing in the Pro Bowl. Richard said, 'What if I'm voted to the Pro Bowl and I can't go because we're in the Super Bowl?' We thought, He's right. Great observation. We changed the wording."

I like how this guy thinks.

King's writeups for the Niners have been great lately. Started when he was invited to the Niners draft day and has been great reads since.

Great read. I hope King keeps these insider connections with the Lynch regime going into the future. Amazing content.

Sherman has been representing himself, so this contract is sure to be criticized by the agent community. So if Sherman doesn't recover smoothly from his Achilles' surgeries, the 49ers could conceivably release him before the season and be on the hook for only $3 million. Sherman also agreed to turn $6 million of his total potential earnings into per-game roster bonuses, paid only if Sherman is on the active, game-day roster. It's an incredibly team-friendly deal."

Paraag is a legend. It probably wasn't even fair for a player to go in trying to represent himself and talk deal with him. Sherman is a smart dude, but he has little to no experience negotiating a deal like this.

Love this part lmao!

Sherman smiled. "I've been at the 1-yard line before," he said, "and it didn't go so well."

Lynch said: "I promise you, we won't throw it this time."

Man reading the terms of the contract, I love the move and makes total sense now. I'm all in! I think is going to work out very well for both sides.
