From your Wikipedia link:

He signed a seven-year, $53.51 million contract with the 49ers in the 2010 season.[18]

rotoroworld and sportrac are the most accurate contract websites

I guess you didn't notice, but the article used to reference that information of the 7 year contract extension was written in 2007.

Sooo, yea.. considering the contract was signed in 2010, you should probably not try to use that as confirmation.

He has valid concerns. Lee has been injury prone to various degrees going back to college.

This is the circle of life on the forum with contract extensions. Premature contract extension to a player with concerns. "YAAAYY BUILD OUR TEAM AROUND HIM" A couple years later when those concerns pan out "OMG HOW COULDNT JERRY SEE THIS COMING!"

Dude, I don't take anything you say about the Cowboys. Or that other guy.

If you cannot get excited about a player that even the mediots brag about him, then you too, can take that crap somewhere else.

why couldn't jerry wait till the end of the year to sign him long term just to see what kind of year he has after the injury and to see if he holds up for 16 games. pretty dumb move to do it now. but its jerry and his money so go for it. its just jerry being jerry

I didn't even bother. Jimmy already solved the mystery.

I think you're both right. He signed a 5 year (possibly 6 year?) $50 million extension to his rookie contract, which probably made the whole 7-year commitment look like the $53 million you're quoting.

Here's some more info on the 49ers LB contract extensions: Bowman and Brooks both got $7M/year last year.

So, as I said, Lee is making Patrick Willis type money.

If there wasn't a salary cap, I wouldn't care. Since this will affect the team's ability to sign players in the future, I am concerned. Paying top tier money to a part time player is a bad idea. See Miles Austin or Jay Ratliff.

I have to ask- who is going to have to be sacrificed because of this contract?
You think we're losing Dez over this?
Who else? Carter?
If you're going to judge like a GM I'd like a GM answer.

Spotrac is reporting the deal as 7 years 2.2 billion with a 360 mill a year average.

Now friends, we do have cap problems.

Well, that seems a little low for the player that Sean Lee is.

:D

So like i said,

Willis: 5 year, 50 million extension.. 10 million a year.

Lee: 6 year, 42 million extension.. 7 million a year (possibly 8.5 million a year if he stays healthy and meets some requirements)

So yea.. Willis got more, even with his extension coming 3 years ago.

I'm sorry, but if you can't appreciate the massive distinction between Lee's contract and a contract signed three years ago with far, far more guarantee money, then you really don't understand how NFL contracts work.

If we waited and he had a great year, we'd be talking a bigger deal for sure. This is only a dumb deal if Lee doesn't play well or is hurt. If we see the player we have over the past few years, this is going to end up being a steal.
