I was a big Ward fan when he was here, and damn, that guy has been through some serious shit as a Father.
With that said, he explicitly said that he basically took last year off — effort wise — because he didn’t like his contract.
That’s a hard no for me.
>*”Even before everything happened with my baby, I really wasn’t super motivated,” Ward admitted to Silver. “Because after the year I had in ’23, I wanted a contract extension — because I wanted to stay — and I knew I wasn’t getting a contract offer. They came to me and kind of told me what it was, ’cause they had (other) people to pay. So it kind of had me in my feelings a little bit. I just never made it public.*”
>*”I was hurt when I realized I wasn’t getting a contract extension or even an offer for an extension. **So, I wasn’t motivated; like, from OTAs all the way through camp, I was kind of pissed off. I knew when the season started it was a wrap for me in the Bay*”**
As a reminder, he earned $13.5 Million Dollars that year
If he was a niner, he would be out for the season.
How the 49ers injury is spreading to other teams so funny along with Dre out awhile but he’s back soon though
