Tevin Coleman to the 49ers... (1 Viewer)

What was our record when Ingram was suspended for 4 games? I can’t remember....

3-1

Good Lord, when did Tevin Coleman become AD???? The hand wringing over a player that I barely noticed despite being IN DIVISION is crazy. Never. NEVER was I scared when Tevin Coleman entered the game. He's Tevin Coleman.

Why would we want Coleman? We have AK for that sniper role. Can Coleman, at 205, run like Ingram or Murray? C'mon guys, let's not fall into free agent envy.

Thank you! Tevin Coleman? Smh....

Murray is getting paid a little more than $4 million a year. MI and Coleman signed for $5 million a year. Murray 4 year deal. MI 3 year deal. Coleman 2 year deal

I thought Murray was signed for 14.4/ 4 years. That's under 4M/ year.

Yes, it's 3.6 mill per year with the first two years guaranteed. But it's much more fun to inflate it when making your argument against the signing.

I don't think it all came down to money with Mark. I think he wanted to be the featured back in the offense and he knew Kamara is going to be that man, now. That's why I think he left for Baltimore, where he will be the featured back.

Coleman is a poor man's AK at best. Going after him would've been completely redundant.

Bingo.

Mark said he wanted to return but I’m thinking that was said just to get the fans on his side. You saw players bleeding with Mark to come back, yet he left at the first chance to another team for barely over what we offered.

If Mark wanted to be in NOLA, he wouldn’t of had a deal complete before FA even started.

Exactly

Simply false as can be. He was asking north of 7 million a year at the time. He tried to play hard ball and it failed. We had to secure a back that we wanted because at that price we couldn’t do anything.

That's why you offer $5 million and don't budge - or match the Ravens offer. But it don't matter cause I'm liking the Murray signing more and more.

We could have had Tevin Coleman. For a little more than Murray. Good lord

Maybe, but Payton wanted Murray. Rest assured the scouts did their due diligence on every free agent running back. Murray was an obvious early target and the team wasted no time getting him.
