If Brooks get a 5 year 35 million deal then what does that mean Spencer should get. I think about the same.

EXACTLY the same.

49ers re-signed OLB Ahmad Brooks to a six-year extension.
ESPN's Josina Anderson reports the maximum value of Brooks' deal is $44.5 million. Coming off a career year with 50 tackles, seven sacks, and three passes defensed as an every-down player on the NFL's second-best defense, Brooks would have been one of the premier strong-side linebackers on the market. Turning 28 next month, Brooks' 1,123 snaps were fourth on Vic Fangio's defense. The 49ers paid a premium, but they're now set at linebacker with Brooks and Aldon Smith on the outside and Pro Bowlers Patrick Willis and Navorro Bowman on the inside

per rotoworld.

Good. The market has been set. Should make it easier to re-sign Spencer to a similar deal.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Overpaid.

 

[johnnyd]

17.5m guranteed

i'd like to hope we can resign spencer for less well see

 

[jblaze2004]

so about 7.4 mil a year.
Is spencer worth that much?????

me to. I really want spencers deal to be basically a 2 or 3 year prove it type deal. Not too much guaranteed money.

Yeah, but do you consider that a good deal for him?

so the questin is, do we resign SPencer to a 6 year 45 million contract

 

[supercowboy8]

Yeah, but do you consider that a good deal for him?

should be, he has the same numbers as Brooks and Ray Edwards. So wanting more then let him walk.

Fun to watch the eyes opening gradually in this thread.

 

[21Savage]

After this deal, I wonder if people would still say it's too much to OVERPAY Spencer at 8.8 million a year?

It can be argued that Spencer is a better player than Brooks and he just became the best OLB in this year's FA. The franchise tag almost seems inevitable now.

 

[Ren]

Brooks is not as good as Spencer. i'd rather spend 8.8 and have it off the books a years from now the commit long term to any of the OLBs available in FA this year

why would you say that. I think they played kind of the same. Brooks had more sacks and pass deflects, he looks to be improving every year. Spencer had more force fumbles. Spencer can be better but for some reason he is content with being medicore. I wouldn't want to waste 8.8 mil a year for spencer unless he plays like his hair is on fire from here on out.

I still think the 49ers overpaid for brooks. I rather not have that much money tied up in OLB's. We already have an elite guy looked up. We should of did a better job drafting spencers replacement.


Player Snaps Tackles Sacks FF INT QB hits Pressures PD's
Ahmad Brooks 1123 (18 games) 55 8 1 0 10 40 3
Anthony Spencer 939 (16 games) 66 6 4 0 9 35 1

 

[The30YardSlant]

49ers overpaid, just as we will be overpaying if Spencer gets anything close to that. The only difference is the 49ers have more cap room than we do.

 

[Vanilla2]

How can brooks be improving and spencer be content with being mediocre with the same stats and being about the same age. Talk about moving the goal post.

 

[alpha]

If the team's gonna spend that kind of money I'd rather see it spent on a young superstar like Super Mario. Sure he'll cost more, but it will have about the same impact on the cap if it's structured properly.

If all the team is looking for is a one year rental, I'd rather see them sign greybeard John Abraham. He's "been the single most productive pass rusher over the past 4 seasons of PFF Grading. More pressure than anyone." --PFF

If the choice is a $7.4M long-term deal or $8.8M one year band aid, I hope they bite the bullet and tag him. Locking him up long-term says they can't see themselves doing any better, now or in the near future. I can't buy that. It would be a shame to waste the prime of a HOFer like Ware if they don't find a pass rushing bookend to pair with him.

 

[TheCount]

so about 7.4 mil a year.
Is spencer worth that much?????

Hellz no he's not, but he'll probably get it anyway.

 

[The30YardSlant]

The pathetic thing is that the first three years or so of Mario Williams' new contract, wherever it is, will likely very closely resemble that of Spencer's if he gets a long-term deal. 3-4 OLB is a position people overpay for because there arent that many of them, and Williams will go back to DE at his new stop in all likelyhood.
