Amazing when we can dump our trash to another division rival, and still salvage a draft pick.. A few weeks later and we coulda traded him for some new cleats, and it’d STILL be a great deal for us.
Work ethic is one thing, but there’s no talent either.. Dead weight..
Desean Jackson, Eddie Royal, Matt Forte, Kevin Smith and Jamaal Charles are amongst the few we passed over when we took this sac-o-shit.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda’s aside – i’m glad he’s gone.

Kent was just sick of Mike Dropping his damn pants everytime soemthing went wrong, and Kent was also annoyed of Mike’s promises of going to the playoffs last year and not delievering, i mean who would want to stay at SF?

Singletary’s old school. Todays players (seems a lot of them) are pussys.
This rocks!

Both of you guys must be a couple of old bastards, if you believe this. Judging by your “This rocks!” comments, I’m 100% sure you are over the hill.

I’ve have a connection who works with the 49ers and he says that Balmer wanted out because he is gay and his SF teammates found out and turned against him. Not saying that to be a knock on homosexuals–only that in a pro football that kind of thing is not well accepted.

“It appears that he personally wanted out of San Fran.”
Hope Seattle can get something out of this rube.

Before you correct, Florio… check your numbers – he is correct….
1.6 million bonus, 5 year deal….
the 2010 portion of his signing bonus = $320,000
25% of that = $80,000
Now… apologize to him.

borf and skinsfan4lyfe: you guys are both idiots. It clearly says that $80000 was 25% of the 2010 PORTION of his signing bonus, not 25% of the ENTIRE signing bonus. What a couple of tools.

Hahaha. I love bashing on Florio’s misspellings and grammatical errors too but come on people.

Damn Borf, you beat me to it! I guess math wasn’t Florio’s strength in school…
More to the point, I think someone should applaud Balmer’s intelligence, or willingness to take his agent’s advice, on putting up $80k to make $800k! Too often those guys are chided for not being smart, but this was a very smart decision – common sense and business-wise!

For those bashing the math you might want to do a little reading comprehension 101. It says it’s 25% of the 2010 PORTION of his 1.6 million signing bonus.
You can bonk yourself in the forehead now.

Enjoy your new DE that couldn’t even beat out two undrafted rookies on the depth chart.
Enjoy Seachickens!

He was never meant to play in a 3-4 scheme. Plus, he didn’t have the work ethic Coach Sing was looking for. He’ll be better off in Seattle — probably…..

$80,000 is 5% of $1.6 million. 25% is $400,000
