LT's play this past season put him in the company of guys that earned $10-11M/yr. His cap number this past season was $6.6M. If he doubles that, we are out. However, if Parage can push some back to 2024 and a few other tricks to keep his cap at $9-10M, we might be able to keep him. Just spit-balling...

Yeah, he's going to make double digit figures. Almost every higher end FA, no matter the position, is going to get that nowadays. That's just what the market is now.

I remember doing an older analysis of teams with the most players with double digit APY. I think the highest at the time was, 7. They were almost always the playoff/best teams. Now? Probably every team has at least 5+.

What about James Daniels? Is is slated to make more, the same, or less?

My guess would be a little less than LT.

That would be my guess too. But I also believe he's probably a little more talented than LT in terms of his physical ability and fit in this scheme coming from Iowa.

Go back to page 1 people were like is this guy any good, he got beat out by Graham Glasgow and couldn't crack the starting lineup in Detroit. Point is we should be focused on finding the next Tomlinson, not taking a 30 year old Tomlinson and paying him lavishly for the back 9 of his career.

Hope he's right.

Based on vibes gathered at combine, if I had to rank these four pending 49ers free agents by likelihood of SF re-signing, it'd look like this:

1. Laken Tomlinson
2. Jason Verrett
3. D.J. Jones
4. Raheem Mostert

49ers would love to bring all four back at right price of course

Hope he's right.

I'd pass on all 4. Unless we get below market deals.

Sounds great to me! How's his pass protection?

This.

We are turning the team over to a second year QB and you are willing to let go of half of his blindside protection, mind you a solid tandem at that… Definitely nope. That's not even considering Mack is about to be another year older, right guard is a major question right now and our RT has no clue how to pass block.
Letting Tomlinson walk will put our O line in shambles. Build from the inside out. 30 years of age still equates to him having probably 4 years left of stellar play. Not to mention he's about as reliable as it comes to staying healthy and being able to play on game day.

You don't pass on a guy like LT who's been one of the most reliable players you can possibly think of, providing he can be re-signed at a realistic increase from the current salary. For a fanbase that has constant injury-PTSD Tomlinson provides the exact opposite. An OL with a durability track record like his will be highly coveted by a bunch of teams so he (his agent) may simply end up hella pricing out the Niners. He's looking for a huge payday which you certainly don't blame him.

Yeah we acquired him for dirt cheap and it was a great move. Find the next dirt cheap guy. Interior O-line isn't where you pay massive. I bet Banks shows up next year in a big way. I mean with Mack, McG and Trent that's a powerhouse o-line right there and expensive too. Round out the guards with more cost effective diamonds in the rough.

If LT walks, hopefully that means banks is ready to start at guard. He's a complete unknown to us at this point.

How the F*ck is Verrett higher priority than DJ? I get we need CB help, but, c'mon, he's so injury prone, if he doesn't take a 1yr $2M ish deal, same for Mostert, screw them IMO.

Been there, done that. Powerhouse?

He's seriously injured so he jumps right to the top. Hehe

Franchise tag him , he should be priority 1

He was ranking them based on the 9ers likelihood to resign them not importance.

We're more likely to resign Verrett than DJ because Verrett should be dirt cheap compared to DJ who will get a way bigger deal.

I'm not sure what he means by paying massive? Continuity matters and that left side of the OL is pretty freaking good. Being able to actually play matters and LT does that.

I could see him getting 4yrs $38M or something like that. I mean no one should expect him to make elite money but let's not have to fill another hole. Also who knows about Banks. Reports said he looked like the worst lineman in camp and wasn't activated for a good chunk of the year. Couldn't beat out a pretty subpar Brunskill and it's not like Banks was some elite raw talented OG. He was a multi-year starter who had some of the top OL coaching staffs in college.
