Meanwhile it's probably not all Schulters fault. It seems that Lance has had terrible luck in picking his agents. Last season, Schulters was instructed by his agent that he should hold out for a long term contract - the 49ers were more than happy to move on. Schulters ended up returning to the team on a one year deal, and fired his agent - but it seems like the successor to the throne is no smarter.

While living away from his New York family for six months is undeniably hard, and it being impossible to fault Schulters for looking to move home - it's become increasingly more obvious that Schulters agent doesn't know what he's doing. Schulters has been offered a contract by only Tennessee and the 49ers, but his agent has made some bright moves, in stating that Schulters wanted to play badly for the Titans (before the contract was tendered), and that he was simply looking for the highest bid, or that the 49ers would not be a candidate for a one year deal.

An infant could recognize the problems with these public relations moves, so I have to ask - why hasn't Lance? Now I don't believe the 49ers will cave to Schulters contract requests, it has been their policy of late not to over pay free agents of any sort - and thus I must conclude that unless Schulters drops his figure dramatically he wont return to the 49ers, and if he drops his figure drastically more teams are likely to be interested.
