Right. And if it weren't for the NFL's idiotic salary cap rules, he could have played his entire career on the 49ers and retired as a 49er without going through this silly "sign a contract for one day" retirement charade.
Or if the Niners had handled the cap intelligently. Defered salary sure seemed like a good idea early in the cap era, but it came back and bit every team that used it, and is still biting the Niners because they used it again while they were climbing out of the cap hell they got in the first time.
