im not too concerned about him getting signed, I think it'll happen, my concern is really how much practice and chemistry will he have.
he's a special and unique player, so I'm not predicting it'll be an issue. I mainly worry about his new side-by-side team of hargrave that has 0 practice/chemistry with him at this point.
maybe that isn't as big of an issue on the d line as I'm thinking, but it would be nice for him to get at least a week of prep in.
It's only an issue if he's not on the field game day imo. SF needs to nut up and pay the man…it's not like they haven't been planning to do this for a couple yrs now.
This is the part that confuses me, did something drastically change? Cause like you said, they've known about this for two years. I honestly looked at his deal as pretty straight forward, he's one of the few players that Unquestionably deserves to be the highest paid.
i know we are in a tight cap spot and all, but we've had a long time to position for this.
