What do you guys think will happen during the offseason?
*We let Manningham walk?
*We try to resign Boldin?
*We try to extend Kaepernick?
*We try to extend Crabtree?
*We try to extend Aldon Smith?
* We cut Carlos Rogers?
*We tag or let Donte Whitner walk?
*What happens when Lattimore is healthy? Do we trade James? Or cut Gore? Or cut Dixon?
*We let Terrell Brown walk?
*We let Iupati walk?
*We let Goodwin walk?
*** I think Iupati & Crabtree have one more year after this, but I'm not sure. *** :dunno
All good questions...
Boldin - Contract is up. Resigning him would huge, but a challenge. He's currently making 6mil. Baalke will certainly try to reduce that. Just how much Boldin is willing to take is the question. He effects the Manningham negotiation.
Manningham - Contract is up. Currently has a 1.8mil salary (total cap number is 2.8 when you include the bonus). If we can resign him for a smaller cap number he'll be back next season. If not AND we resign Boldin I think he walks and we move on with Patton who will cost a mere $593,000.
Kaepernick - Signed through 2014. This is the 1st time we can start renegotiating his contract. He's due to make 1.6mil next season which is a bargain. Since his numbers this season aren't earth shattering I think they'll hammer something out to save money long term. Dudes always tend to light it up in their contract year.
Crabtree - Signed through 2014, he's due to make 5mil next season. I think they'll definitely extend him and reduce next seasons number.
Aldon Smith (99 Problems) - Signed through 2014. Has a 4.5mil cap number next season. If we turn on the option he makes 8mil in 2015. Seeing has how Baalke is shrewd managing the cap I most definitely see them working out an extension and reducing those numbers.
Carlos Rogers - Signed through 2015. BYE, BYE. His 2014 number is 8mil. That's a lot of coin for what is our #3 CB. He'll be cut.
Keeping with the CB's for a moment... Brock (2mil) and Culliver (794k) will be back. They'll look to resign Wright (which I think they'll do easily). Brown is the question mark. Will his ego command a big contract? If he's looking for the 5mil a year type contract I think he'll be gone.
Whitner - Contract is up. Making 4.9 mil this year. Once again, what will he accept to come back. He's good in run support but a liability in coverage. Can't see them paying him that money again.
Running Backs - Dixon won't be resigned (his contract is up). We will let him walk away. Dude is already bitching instead of playing his part. If it wasn't for special teams he would have been cut. Let's be truthful, he's only made 2 plays on special teams this season. See ya.
Iupati - Signed through 2014. He's making 3.2mil next season. They are happy with the young guys on the line. I see them working out an extension with him.
Goodwin - Making 3.1mil. He won't be resigned (his contract is up). I see Kilgore taking over at center and them drafting a lineman.
Craig Dahl - Signed through 2015 and due to make 1.8mil next season. He'll be cut. That's a lot of money for a guy not doing anything.
Baldwin - 1.4mil. He's a question mark. Right now he's 5th on the depth chart. Seeing as how we never put more than 3 wide receivers on the field you can see him being cut. Depends on our depth after the Boldin, Manningham negotiations.
