The 49ers officially announced their tender offers. They tendered contracts to Ahmad Brooks and David Baas (not Marcus Hudson). Brooks received a second round tender, while Baas received an original round tender (he was a second round pick). If another club signs either player to an offer sheet, the 49ers have seven days to match that offer. If they choose not to match, San Francisco will receive the appropriate compensation from the respective club (second round picks in both cases).
A couple weeks ago I put together predictions on the restricted free agents. I got Baas right, although his was the easiest to predict given his high draft status. I went with a first round tender for Brooks and original round tender for Hudson and was off on both. I'm not exactly shocked Hudson wasn't tendered. He's been a solid enough performer, but not so much that the team can't go younger at the position and roll the dice on the upside.

They need
to keep Brooks. See if he can match his play from last year. If he can, he needs a long term contract next season.

so is there a reason
why they didn’t tender a first round pick to brooks? shouldn’t they try to sell high? or is it because they don’t think that they would get that for him

I don't think
anyone was gonna give up a first rounder for a linebacker with one good season.

It's the money
The 49ers didn’t want to pay first round tender money to resign him.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
1st round tender – 1.85 million offer
2nd round tender – 1.3 million offer
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Not a huge difference..
It had to have been that no team was gonna give up a first rounder for an unproven guy right? Well, semi-unproven.

It's still a pretty big raise
Percentage wise at least. It’s not the huge contracts we’re used to seeing, but there’s 53 guys on a football team. Even a half million dollar raise can add up if given to a lot of players. I think the 49ers want to keep Brooks, but they want to do if for as little as posible. I’m guessing they think the loss of a second round pick would be enough to keep most teams away.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
But if they thought they could get a first rounder out of him
There would be no hesitation, right?

Without a doubt
It’s a cost/benefit analysis. They want to keep Brooks, which is why they tendered him, but they’d be OK to lose him if the got a 2nd round pick in return.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Right.
I’d rather keep him.

I'm with you
I think Fooch is too, which is why he predicted a first round tender.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
I'm not sure how the trade rules work since Brooks is technically an FA
but if a team wanted him badly enough to give up a first rounder i’m sure that team would want to lock Brooks up to a long term deal and it probably would just be easy to make the trade for his rights unless the team is just making a tactical gamble of forcing the Niner’s hand (which is not good strategy)
It also has to do with how much money they offered
The 49ers would have had to offer Brooks more money on a first round tender than a second round tender.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Brooks has some years on him at this point and still learning
I could go with a 2nd round pick for him, should be able to get a player several years younger to fill the same roll if not better.
Maybe not best for us next year, but overall i think it puts the team in a better spot for the year after.
baas
People may want him, but I’d be surprised if they’d want to give up a second round pick.

Baas isn't an athletic freak.
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Win win situation
We come out ok whether Baas stays or goes because either we keep him around for one more year while prepping an heir apparent (Iupati??) or we let him go knowing we won’t match & get an extra 2nd while picking up someone serviceable for a year or two for a good price. It basically allows for some good possibilities. We also have Wragge, a decent veteran for a backup. I’ve never heard too many negatives about him.

Oh I bet that if the Niners were offered a 2nd for Baas
they’d let him go for a contract for $1 over the tender
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.

It All Depends
I could actually see a team giving up a 2nd round pick for both Brooks or Baas. This is why; of course Brooks came into the NFL in the supplemental draft with some hoopla, this simply because of how he performed at Virginia and with his talent level. He finally started to show that promise this season. In regards to Baas, he is a average guard with 70+ games of experience behind him, it all depends on where a team is in terms of contending and what needs they have. For example, if New England loses Neal i could see them going with Baas and giving up one of their three 2nd round picks, because he can come right in and start, without the rookie struggles. If a team like Detroit needed a guard i would see them going after a younger offensive linemen in the 2nd round.
Either way the 49ers should have placed a 1st round tender on Brooks. In regards to Marcus Hudson, i find that incredibly interesting. He is still relatively young and with Scotty M’s comments regarding Michael Lewis’ future in San Francisco i find it intriguing that they didn’t tender him. As of now we only have Goldson, Smith and Taylor at safety, this if you take Lewis out of the equation. They have to be planning something big at that position this off-season

i think it is easier to find
6’0 cornerbacks than it is 6’5 guards. Someone else said it too, the more million dollar contracts you have on the 53man roster the less money you have to extend contracts, sign free agents etc.
I think with the tenders they run a fine line making other teams think about giving up a draft pick, but then saying NAAAAhhhhh and walking away in the end.
Of course having the draft picks isn’t a bad idea in this deep of a draft. The draft picks for the contracts would be for this draft, right?
