Surprised to see Whitner got a multiyear deal. The way the market has dried up, I didn’t think we’d see anymore. Whitner is a solid safety, but given that a comparable safety in Gerald Sensabaugh got 2.5 million over 1 year a few days ago, Whitner getting 3 years, 11.75 million with 4 million in guarantees seems a little excessive, especially since the signing was followed by the 49ers putting 2010 2^nd round pick Taylor Mays on Craigslist (alright not really, but they sent a mass email to the league shopping him).
