Hunter for $48 of his $51M GTD. Show me how much GTD cash all those guys got combined. That's what matters….stop looking at what if numbers and dividing them by the years. That's not how it works
Why is guareenteed money so huge on a 2 yr deal? You're not stuck with it long term. 2 years is an awesome contract to do with guarantees.
"Floyd, 31, joins the 49ers on a two-year, $20 million deal that can be worth up to $24 million with $12 million in guaranteed money over the first year of the contract."
So Floyd does reasonably well and we keep him for 2 years and pay him 24 mil. The gap with hunter is not that huge now. Elliot, Odum, and Gross-Matos are still going to make decent money given their amount, even if it's backloaded. And if we cut these guys after 1 year, there will be some amount of dead cap.
As of right now, the Floyd signing seems like a very good one. He produces similar pressure on the QB but he comes a bit cheaper than the premium guys. Hard to argue with that.
Obviously Hunter would be better but you gotta start making some decisions somewhere. You can't always go out and get the most expensive guy on the market. And even if you do, it's not a guarantee. I mean Hargrave didn't deliver on the field what the 49ers paid him for last year.
