Seems like a bad deal to me. Why sign a three year contract close to the league minimum with no or little guarantees?  The average NFL career is 5-6 years.  Shorter for running backs.  What is the benefit in limiting your upside when you are at the bottom of the pay scale? Granted I am short on details but outside of it being guaranteed money this makes no sense.

As an UDFA whoever he signs with will have his rights as an exclusive rights FA for 3 years at the league minimum with no guarantees (unless they cut him or non-tender him then whoever signs him would have his exclusive rights for the remainder of the 3 years). So either way he is forced to get the league minimum for 3 years so this will at least potentially give him a little more if he makes it every year. However even though it is a “3 year contract” it is still basically a year to year contract with no guarantees. So in essence he is signing the same 1 year deal that other UDFA sign for with the potential to make a little more.

I think this is all good news.  Yes, it is just above league minimum.  But it does show that the 49ers see something in him to get this done.  UNT doesnt get guys that often in the NFL.  So, for Jeff to get a shot is awesome.

What kind of deal did Dubar sign with the Cowboys?  I wonder if it was much different than this.

Great team for Jeff to go too.. and up and coming offense that went 5-0 with Jimmy G at QB to close out the season.. added the best OT in the draft as well. 

Here is to hoping he can stay healthy.. if he can, it maybe a huge year for him.

      Not sure if we'd hire a guy...as we replaced Jalie with a guy. And I think they like to have at least some women's head coaches. Found this guy....at Arkansas State. They're 26-5..... https://astateredwolves.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/brian-gerwig/980

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      I'm turning into Scotty after this weekend. The team had broken me.

      The Band

      I personally think that the playing music over the PA at times when the band would typically be playing has negatively impacted the cadence for when and how the band plays during the games. I don't want to be all old man about it, but if I want to listen to the stuff that is played on the PA system (majority of which I actually do like), I have about 10 different devices I can play that on myself. When I go to a college football game, I want to hear the friggin' band play during timeouts and between plays, when appropriate. It's college football, not an NBA game. When I look back at attending games at Fouts as a student in the 90s', I absolutely remember the band playing, and I enjoyed it then just as I do now. If they were playing other music, maybe they were, but I would have no memory of that whatsoever. Additionally, I know there has been some other negative thoughts about the band overall, and not that I have been in band since I played trumpet as a sophomore in high school so I am no expert, but I was absolutely blown away by the halftime performance this week. I know majority of it was a rehash of other bits and pieces that had already been done this year, but damn that was a strong close.

      yes! 12 seed, 30-win, Will-Wades-been-to-6-straight-postseasons-including-S16, McNeese! Y'all (not necessarily you GJ)! Take off your football glasses. There are incredible programs dwelling in these off-name conferences. We have useful metrics that can validate their quality of ball, regardless of name/conference affiliation.
