49ers re-sign Steve Young, Hearst, clear salary cap room
10 teams prepared Jor Friday's
opening of the free agent
signing period by locking in
big name players
The Associated Press
Steve Young signed a record contract on
Thursday that made the San Francisco 49ers
happy, too.
On the eve of the NFL's two-month free
agent signing period, Young remained the
league’s highest-paid player with a $49,175
million, six-year deal. The contract is more
salary-cap friendly than Young’s old $45 mil
lion, six-year deal, which the 49ers tore up.
In another contract restructuring, the 49ers
signed running back Garrison Hearst to a five
year, $15.1 million contract. Hearst, the
49ers’ first 1,000-yard rusher in five years, re
ceived a $3.25 million signing bonus.
Among other signings Thursday, the Min
nesota Vikings made Todd Steussie the
highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL his
tory with a $22 million, five-year contract;
Brian Mitchell became the highest-paid kick
return specialist with an $8.4 million, five
year deal with the Washington Redskins;
the New England Patriots signed All-Pro de
fensive lineman Bruce Armstrong and de
fensive end Willie McGinest; and the Green
Bay Packers signed wide receiver Robert
Brooks to a $15.1 million, five-year contract.
The Super Bowl champion Denver Bron
cos signed veteran comerback Ray Crockett
and tight end Dwayne Carswell. The Bron
cos also signed wide receiver Darrick
Branch and defensive end Dameian Jeffries
and released comerback Randy Hilliard.
The New York Giants released tight end
Aaron Pierce, waived tight end Brandon
Jessie and center Marc Lamb, and rewrote
wide receiver Chris Calloway’s contract.
Young, 36, had his annual average salary
increase $700,000 to $8.2 million, and he
gets a $7.5 million signing bonus. The bonus
can be pro-rated against the cap during the
life of the contract, softening the impact on
the team’s player payroll.
“Obviously, this has the effect of reliev
ing some of the 49ers cap problems," said
Young’s agent, Leigh Steinberg. “And it also
is by far the largest package in NFL history,
averaging $8.2 million.”
Under his new contract, Young will have
a 1998 cap figure of $3.5 million, compared
to $10 million under the previous deal.
In other moves, the Detroit Lions signed
wide receiver Johnnie Morton and tackle
Ray Roberts, while the Chicago Bears signed
defensive tackle Jim Flanigan and free safety
John Mangum.
The Buffalo Bills designated Ted Wash
ington as their franchise player, and the
nose tackle threatened to sit out the first 10
games of the season. The franchise designa
tion guarantees Washington, 29, a raise but
effectively makes him a restricted free agent.

For Friday, Feb. 13, 1998
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Stop being so superstitious! A date
on a calendar is merely that. If you
look for troubles, you’ll surely find
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
You're not pleased with what a co
worker has been saying behind your
back. Rectify this situation. If not,
this person could succeed in under
mining you.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
You’re floating on a cloud, but you
need to come back down to earth.
There are assignments to fulfill. If
you don't apply yourself, you could
end up putting in some extra hours
on the job.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
You make the right decision con
cerning a family matter. In fact, you
are so firm and sure about it, others
naturally follow your lead. Advice
you receive about a work matter
could be off the mark.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
You can’t simply wish things done.
You have to roll up your sleeves and
get to work. Once you do this, you
end the day feeling satisfied with
what you've accomplished.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
A situation at work requires your
particular style of management.
Once you’ve straightened this out,
everyone works together in a rare
spirit of cooperation.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You’ll get more done if you stop
looking over your shoulder. Don’t
worry that others are watching you.
You know exactly how to get that job
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
You’re unprepared for the situa
tion that crops up on the job. With
some quick thinking, you can soon
address this. Later in the day, a
social outing takes your mind off
things.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You need to exercise some self
control when a testy co-worker tries
your patience. Simply let this per
son stew in his own juices. Later,
harmony reigns once again.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Don’t fall for that alarmist talk.
Nothing tragic is going on and there’s
noconspiracy againstyou. Trustyour
own intuition instead.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Some experience a stroke of luck,
such as winning a game or contest.
Others go along on a comfortably
even keel. The evening favors a ro
mantic tryst.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You'll get more done if you simply
slow down. Racing through your
chores could lead to sloppy mistakes
By day’s end, you’re looking forward
to some relaxation.
YOU BORN TODAY are given to
some hyperbole when relating a
story. Your vast imagination knows
no bounds. Whether writing or speak
ing, you can weave quite the tale. A
field that allows you freedom to un
leash this talent promises the most
success. On the other hand, you need
to be able to discern fantasy from
reality. Once you can do this, your
popularity soars.
