But it actually comes down to Baalke being a great money manager as a GM. Note I said money manager, so hold your poo slinging!!

Basically it comes down to that we've already recovered 3mil of the 6.37mil SB paid to AD. We can recover the rest IF we release him. Considering free agency is complete and the right tackle position was a loss for the players. The market for Davis would likely not be robust. The 2016-2019 years of Davis’ contract average out to $5.35 million a season which would rank 9th in the NFL, just behind Joseph Barksdale. If we consider the additional $3 million, since that is money San Francisco could seemingly recover, he would move to 5th. He could be a bit cheaper if his 2015 season tolled (Im admittedly hazy on this as I think that only happens if a player reports and then retires, but I would need to clarify it.

So Baalke wants to recoup that 3mil by cutting his ass, then sign him to a ~5 mil a year contract so he in essence gets him at 2mil. Fooch's note: A pair of wildly unnecessary ethnic stereotypes were removed from this
