You wine and dine them and don't let them leave the facility until their name is on a contract.
This isn't just another ho hum free agency where we throw some offers out there and hope guys sign. They are signing an NFL left tackle, it's not even an option to wait until the draft. If they want to sign one and still draft one, fine by me, but you're signing one. I don't care what you have to do or what money gets moved around, it's happening.

They already tried it with Trent Williams. He was just using Veach to squeeze more cash from the Niners. It's hard to get the guys you want. If they go down the path of overpaying, they really need to start using the Void Year stuff like Philly. That's how you overpay for dudes and not get nailed on the cap for a few years.
