“(It’s probably not a coincidence that Glazer and Randy Couture helped get Willis ready for the 2009 season with MMA training.)”
ummm, yes it is. I’m not sure why you have this hard-on for Glazer, but the guy is a complete tool.

Jon Beason is a top five inside linebacker in the league…Willis is the BEST linebacker in the league right now…classy guy deserves every penny.
He would look great in Purple.

absolute no brainer move. after another amazing, league leading year the price would have only gone up. now they can concentrate on locking up vernon davis long term

Is it bad that Justin Reis giggles everytime he hears that Dan LeBetard is guest hosting PTI?

Great player, love to have him on my team. Still, that’s a whole lot to pay any LB. Have to wait and see what the guaranteed value of this contract comes down to.

Willis should get triple + what Al Davis gave that idiot JaJunk across the bay! Willis is the best linebacker in the NFL, bar none !

I think the niners wanted to get this done before the upcomming Santa Clara vote.

Worth every penny. He’s by far the best MLB in the NFL today

Smart move. Lock him up! Dont want to lose him like they lost Julian Peterson and Andre Carter. With those 2 and Willis the last 2 years they would have been a lot better team.

Good for Willis, he’s earned it. Easily top 3 LB in the league.

Wow. Could someone please explain to me why the owners are dead set on a work stoppage next year because they think the players are making too much money … While at the same time they’re handing out $50,000,000 extensions.
Sense to me not make this does.

You’re also an idiot because slavery was abolished in the 1860′s.. You ignorant f***…

No LB is worth $10 million a year. I’m assuming that there’s a lot of funny money in that contract.

Well, you just managed to ensure not a SINGLE football related comment will come from this point on with your “slave” post.
Glad you thought that one through…

Worth every single penny. I hope to see him as a 49er for his entire career but you can never be sure about things like this. Big question is… at the end of his playing career, who’s going to be considered the better player… RayRay Lewis or Patrick Willis? Their careers are getting off to the same type of start on the field. Not so much off the field though…. P. Willis has been indicted on any type of a murder charge…

WILLIS GOT PAID!!! This guy is THE next GREAT linebacker. He’s already great, but I mean GREAT, as in Butkus, Lambert, Singletary, Lewis GREAT.

CleanSlaton:
“They were waiting for the better veteran linebacker, DeMeco Ryans, to sign his contract earlier this year.”
Are yiou suggesting that Ryans is BETTER than Willis? Ryans is a great linebacker, but Willis the best ILB in the NFL right now.
