Brooks' deal counts $2.85 million against 2012 cap

Outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks will count $2.85 million against the 49ers' salary cap this year after signing a six-year, $37 million contract extension this week, a league source told CSNBayArea.com.

The 49ers would have an estimated $23 million of cap space available if, as expected, the 2012 NFL salary cap remains close to last year's $120.375 million figure.

Brooks' deal, which 49ers chief negotiator Paraag Marathe worked out with agent Greg Williams, includes $17.5 million in guarantees, including a $7.5 million signing bonus.

Williams told the San Jose Mercury News this week that the contract is worth $44.5 million. That figure is believed to be the maximum if Brooks attains every escalator and incentive.

Brooks' future cap figures are $6.65 million in 2013, $7.5 million in 2014, 8.35 million in 2015, $6.35 million in 2016, and $5.3 million in 2017. Those amounts include roster bonuses in which Brooks receives approximately $50,000 for every game he is active in the regular season, a source said.

Damn the brooks deal was a steal!!!!

2012 $2.85 mil
2013 $6.65 mil
2014 $7.5 mil
2015 8.35 mil
2016 $6.35 mil
2017 $5.3 mill

 

[Pansas]

I love how its structured. $8 mil at possibly his last good year and then less money the last two years on a possible career decline

 

[SFC I-Side]

Quite Frankly in no fuckin way do I think Ahmad Brooks deserves to get paid 8.5 mil for a year of football thats fuckin dumb I like em but hes not that good, I dunno the median pay of linebackers in the NFL but that seems too high

exactly. looks like brooks took a team friendly deal, he knows we can get ring #6.

 

[IronLungs420]

the 49ers seem to be creating a lot of cap room this off season, i wonder if they are just being smart with their money or if they have plans to pursue an elite free agent this off season. i heard the team is still 20+ million under the cap, come on over V jackson or Mike Wallace.

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

^Still need to pay Alex and Dashon which will probably be around $20 together. That and Rogers, Morgan, Snyder, Costanzo, Gooden, Brock etc. Don't expect any big free agent signings. Re-signing Rogers would be the huge signing imo.

 

[ayo4yayo]

Id give up our 1st round for mike wallace and some cash but I know Wallace wants huge money.

Id rather have a proven WR Deep Threat instead of drafting a gamble that might take 3 years to find out. I want that impact deep threat now!!

 

[IronLungs420]

well x out v jackson the chargers just placed the tag on him.

Brooks’ six-year deal with 49ers heavy with incentives


The 49ers recent contract extension with LB Ahmad Brooks is filled with de-escalators, according to a league source, meaning he will have to stay injury-free and achieve subsantial sack totals to receive a maximum average salary of $7.5 million per season.

Brooks received a $7.5 million signing bonus as part of the contract, but there are few other guarantees in a contract signed on Tuesday that is structured heavily on performanced-based incentives. The $17.5 million worth of guarantees are for injury only at the time of signing, not for skill, and that figure could be considerably less if the de-escaltors are triggered.

His base salary of $750,000 for 2012 is guaranteed, and Brooks will be able to make $500,000 in total roster bonuses based on games on the roster, as well as a $100,000 workout bonus.

Brooks has a base salary of $4.3 million in 2013 which is guaranteed for injury at the time he signed the deal. That becomes guaranteed for skill and cap if he’s on the roster April 1 of that year. However, the guaranteed portion can be reduced up to $2.5 million that year if he does not achieve certain sack totals.

In 2014, Brooks has a base of $5.15 million, with $4.95 million becoming guaranteed for injury and skill if he is on the roster on April 1. However, that guaranteed total and base salary can be reduce by up to $2.5 million based on his 2013 sack production.

Brooks can void all de-escalators in the contract if the 49ers win 12 games, he has 93.2 percent playing time that season and San Francisco plays in the conference championship game, or if he has two prior seasons of 12 sacks or more.

Dashon just got franchised.

 

[Pansas]

"@MaioccoCSN: 49ers officially place franchise tag on safety Dashon Goldson."

Big shocker

 

[D.I.R.B]

can i just ask a quick question to my fellow 9er fans? why do you want a deep threat in mike wallace when alex smith will miss him on a deep route 9/10 times? how many times did smith miss kyle williams, crabtree deep this past year? quite a few times from what i recall

Why hasn't Alex Smith been signed? word is that he's asking $14 million for 4 years lollllllll

Like I said before..the dude gotta go...he's a cancer to the team!

 

[SFC I-Side]

Cancer to the team? no your just reaching hella hard, Franky, VD, all back Alex 100% of the time and they hands down are the leaders of the team via seniority and being the best players on the squad, I really cant believe how many people are still hating on Alex, we were one game away from the SB last year!!!!

 

[DFresh77]

maybe you should rewatch the championship game and tell that shit to yourself..

just look at all his mistakes..don't look at the others mistakes.. it's a fact Alex Smith did make more mistakes in that game alone...

 

[SFC I-Side]

Trippin as bad as the whole offense played we were in that game the entire time right until fuckin Kyle Williams fucked it up the second fuckin time, Alex played a great season especially considering how much we ran the ball and how shitty the oline played, lets just take a look at that one more time

These games are in a row mind you

Dallas sacked 6x
Cincy 5x
Philly 3x

n
Balt 9x
Stl 4x
Az 5x

He throws 2 picks in that span thats cool hand luke shit rite there, not to mention, Harabaugh loves him and one of the reasons he does is because people like yourself blame him for everything
