Lol, it didn't take long for them to get an excellent replacement for Darby. The writer's confused about the contract though. He's now the 8th highest paid CB in the NFL, and the writer says he's getting paid like a #2 CB.

I really don’t get this signing. 38 year old gunslinger. Turnover prone. $12m/year.
Why not just keep Alex Smith?
Fitzpatrick is cheaper and he's just flat out better...

I guess his record effected my perception of his statistics/productivity, so I see the better part of the signing. Also I can see injury fear with Alex Smith. With the dead money, I think the cost ends up only slightly favoring Fitzpatrick.
Bringing an older guy on a one year deal makes a lot of sense in terms of Taylor Heinicke. You really can't rely on a guy who has played in 9 NFL games.

Obviously the D needs reinforced but, that being said, the D isn't all about personal here is scheme. So to ab extent if you can find serviceable guys you can pull and play. You need guys that can stay in the field, and until proven other wise there isn't a reason to over pay replaceable plug and play guys. We arnt loosing any one who can't be replaced just yet.

Meh, I wasn't impressed by any of their linebackers last year. Not saying he can't play, but I'd like to see them upgrade that entire unit.

Sounds like it's essentially a 3 year deal at a little over $18M per, but at 33 that's darn good. Good for him!

Hopefully, now he can afford his own doctor.
Not to be a Trent hater (who me?), but I do find it interesting that SF went from a 13-3 powerhouse to 6-10 after acquiring Trent. Great talent - not great karma.
