It would have been more, however these new issues with the law really affected it. I wish we could have got him at 3.5 Mil
Think he would have came back here at another "rental" rate? He likely wanted a long term contract. He will do well this year in SF. Because its a contract year.
I predict that if the 49ers lose this year (and I sort of expect them to) we'll see the Cleveland Edwards who floats and drops every other pass...
Bingo which will land him with essentially no team ini 2012. Nobody is going to want a guy with law trouble and only giving a half effort.
I still think we can lure Braylon back. Just because he's already signed with another team doesn't mean we can't get him back, right? Maybe if we sign a petition he'll cancel his contract and come back. Braylon was good for us, but its over. Let it be.
That's exactly my point. Once Smith misses him a couple times in the season opener he's gonna check out
I wonder how much that bar fight cost him in terms of contract. On the other hand, I don't care how bad Alex Smith is; if that team can't win the NFC West with Gore, Crabtree, Edwards, and Davis on offense, and some new decent pieces around Willis on defense, then I don't know what to think.
wow 500k more, i guess ill just settle for him being on my madden team ( and maybe next year in 2012)
Shit, thats not alot of wonga for a year. BE was a good fit for us, and right now we are gambling on Plax, Mason?? and rookies. I know there are going to be alot of cuts in the next few days, but letting go a WR that already knows your system for the sake of $3.5m seems a bit silly.
There are definitely other, more important factors than the money. If the Jets wanted Braylon back, he would be back.
It was reported today that Braylon didn't want to come back to the Jets for that amount. He was upset that the team courted Holmes at such a high price and refused to come close to meeting it for him. He had no intention of losing his pride with us. Here's the quote:
