@TheRamsWire Nah, the three best options (Garoppolo, Cousins, and Bennett) are all still right there.

4/5 of their offensive line will be free agents next year and command upper tier contracts (meaning all 5 would be probably around $80M AAV total); if the theory is that is not fiscally realistic, trade Avila for a draft pick and trade up in the second to get a WR and use the 1st on Ioane. Just something different.

Now wait for the major short positions and an announcement that there is no deal and bombing will resume….
Bark@barkmeta

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

In my observation, if you spend all day thinking about “the Jews,” it’s a sign that something in your life isn’t going well and, instead of fueling that resentment and paranoia, you’d be better off putting your personal life together. You might try listening to Jordan Peterson.

This shit is driving me crazy; none of you are addressing the issue. First of all, forget the cap. They have the room and there are tricks (they can convert salary to bonus or agree to a restructured contract if they give him more and an extension). The question is what exactly was this option? That $10M is now a part of salary, but is it guaranteed? I don’t think so. If not, they bought 5 more months to decide if they want to cut him before 2026 season salaries become guaranteed. This seems like a major hit to Williams. Did he have to agree?

Why the 49ers didn’t pick up Trent Williams option bonus.

I don’t think that is correct because, again, accounting does not affect pay. I could be wrong, but that is not the issue. The question is not about void years but delaying a payment, which seems to hurt the player. The best I have found is that whereas my assumption was they either cut the player or paid the option on the agreed contract date; it appears there is also the option to make the bonus a salary. Again, this is not an accounting issue for the player, it is about cold hard cash in their account, when it comes, and if it is guaranteed. If they had paid it today, that would have been done with. Now, is there uncertainty? It should be explained better by people who theoretically do nothing but follow this stuff.

@StephenMaxner @spotrac I understand that if you want to stretch the bonus with void years you have to get the ok from the player. Without the approval it can only be streched over the real contract lenght w/o void years. So in the last contract year you need the approval if you want to create cap space

The #49ers electing to not exercise a $10M option bonus for OT Trent Williams is not a declaration about his future. The decision simply reverts that $10M back into base salary of which Williams now holds $32.2M. If exercised, that $10M would prorate at $2.5M in each of the next 4 seasons. SF is keeping the future cap cleaner (for now).

The simple restructures (turning salaries into bonuses that get paid immediately but stretched for accounting) need no player approval because it benefits them (always better to get money sooner than later). But this is seemingly delaying money. What was supposed to be paid now instead gets paid as salary; and maybe isn’t even guaranteed. None of these guys reporting this know which is why it is so vague, which is embarssing for them.

@StephenMaxner @spotrac If I got this right: Simple restructure (no player OK needed) stretches base salary → bonus only over real contract years. To stretch over void years the Player has to agree (like a contractual bonus like Williams had).
