Great 49ers gift ideas ⇨

I can understand paying Burrow and Chase, but damn thats a lot to Higgins. At least only the first 2 years of that is guaranteed lol..

These WR contracts are out of control. This shows you need to draft WR's every year. Let them play out their rookie contracts and let them walk and draft more. Better yet, Trade them 1 year before they become a free agent. Only the premium positions you should pay market value.

49ers got ahead of the Deommodore Lenoir deal and it's paying off for them. He's at $18m APY while the CB market has exploded to $30m https://t.co/gwaqEb8Bgz

All the contracts are getting crazy. Players at postions other than QB and WR are asking for more and more too. It reminds me of a movie (And Justice For All) where AlPacino is a lawyer and he starts yelling in court. "You're out of order. You're out of order. The whole trial is out of order." That's the way I feel about the salaries in sports.
