Niners Extend Joe Staley

The San Francisco 49ers have signed left tackle Joe Staley to a new contract.
The team announced the move earlier this afternoon.
The deal has been extended six years, with Staley now under contract through 2017.
“Joe Staley is the type of player we want to continue to add to this football team,” said General Manager Scot McCloughan. “He’s a tough, versatile, no-nonsense type of guy who wants to do whatever it takes to help his team win football games. Joe is a consummate team player and has been completely unselfish in the way he has approached his role on this team. We know what he means to the success of the 49ers and getting this extension done puts us in a very nice position for the future.”
Staley was a first-round pick in 2007, and he has started all 32 games of his career.
Terms of the new contract aren’t known. He has been signed through 2011, at salaries of $460,000, $550,000, and $650,000, respectively, over the next three seasons.
So he is now under contract for nine years. And it’ll be very interesting to see whether the base salaries he’s due to receive in future years will adequately reflect the left tackle market as the next decade unfolds. If not, the Niners could have the same kind of problem with Staley as the Eagles have had with several guys over the past decade.
Would be nice to get Gaither to agree to a similar deal.
And as much as I hear what PFT opines about the player being "mad" that he is underpaid in the middle of the deal,I wouldnt hesitate to lock a guy like Ngata or Gaither up early.
They know what they are doing,they have an agent to advise them and if they sign on the dotted line then thats what it is.They know that a payday now means NOW and not later.
If they want the security of that guaranteed money NOW then they know some money is being sacrificed down the line.
