Except that Clements signed an 8 year deal and Niners made him the highest paid defender at the time. Ward's deal is a 3 year deal.

Still, overpaid, overrated. There we're better options available.

Nate Clements was actually pretty good tbh.

Agree with you that there were better options.

Too bad the 2 times he faced a real #1 in Ja´Marr Chase he got destroyed.

Now he only has to face Kupp, Hopkins and DK twice.

I don't get what people are talking about. I just watched the AFC championship highlights and I think he only gave up one catch to Chase. He did have a big miss tackle on a RB screen though.

Watch it yourself. If this is the terrible game he supposedly had. I don't see it.

Yeah probably Gilmore. But this signing signals that this team is banking on the long game with a guy only 25 and improved each year. Hoping we finally have a number 1 corner we've needed desperately.

Prior to the 49ers signing anyone today: WZ = "Good. Day 1 is when you overpay. Glad the 49ers didn't overpay today."

49ers sign Ward: WZ = "Great signing. Will really work out given the 49ers' pass rush."

For those who have been consistent, either way:

I believe in filling the holes through free agency prior to the draft because it allows to draft BPA rather than trying to force a pick based on need. Or, it allows to move up or down to grab a player you really want or wait for the same tier player later.

The guy may have some upside but this FO has overpaid again for a middle-of-the-pack FA (like they did with Jet McKinnon, Malcom Smith or Kwon Alexander).

At least he's healthy, that's something to be thankful for I suppose.

A young 6'1" DB, checking his stats, signing approved.
