faba Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Bryant gets bonus in excess of $5M from 49ers By John Clayton ESPN.com The 49ers swapped the potential of wide receiver Brandon Lloyd for two draft choices from the Redskins, but they replaced him with one of the best receivers left on the free agent market. 2005 SEASON STATISTICSRecYdsTDAvgLongYAC691009414.654248 Antonio Bryant agreed to a four-year, $15 million deal with the 49ers that included a signing bonus in excess of $5 million. The irony of Bryant's signing is that the 49ers tried to sign his replacement in Cleveland, Joe Jurevicius. Jurevicius signed a four-year, $10 million deal with the Browns in order to return to his hometown. Bryant went to the 49ers to be their No. 1 receiver. He's coming off a 1,009 yard season with the Browns after catching 69 passes. He will reunite with a former teammate of his at the University of Pittsburgh, halfback Kevan Barlow. Bryant, 25, has been in the league four seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnys025 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 So, what your saying is, they got rid of Garcia because of Owens. Then they got rid of Owens because of his attitude along with the OC. Then today they signed someone with the same attitude of Owens, but about 1/6th the player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 They had to pick up somebody....Rashaun Woods blows and Arnaz Battle is a good WR but he's had injury problems in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
