More Niner news, they are bringing in Braylon Edwards today. It's horrible. Edwards is a deep threat guy, and Alex Smith doesn't have a big arm.

Personally, I'd give up on Smith, but Harbaugh see's something in him I guess. Or may be Harbaugh knows something I don't, like Smith won't be the QB for very much longer. Either way if they sign Edwards, he will have little to now chance of being on my fantasy football team this year.

Braylon was involved in a bar fight over the weekend. He's looking at a long way up to climb out of the hole he is digging.

 

[Bmore]

Also don't know if this was reported, but LeRon McClain is a Chief now.

Alex Smith is working on a 1 year deal. So essentially he's holding things over until the great Colin Kaepernick (who has a cannon of an arm) is ready to step in.

"the great Colin Kaepernick" might be overstating a bit much. But yea he does have a cannon of an arm. I was going to say, maybe they want Edwards because Harbaugh assumes Kaepernick will start at some point this season, but I couldn't spell Kaepernick and decided to leave him out of my post. lol

If I'm Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick isn't seeing the damn field this year at all and isn't getting a shot next year until he hits the damn weight room.

I feel like one good kill shot from a pass rusher and he's broken in two.

It ain't that bad...

...well, maybe it is.

I have confirmed reports that Derrick Mason will sign with #Jets tomorrow. #ravens

Man McClain to Kansas city is a great deal, he'll be a great spell for Charles. Beast backfield, the chiefs are getting pretty good looking asof late, might surprise some.

The Rams will finalize a deal with free agent Cadillac Williams Wednesday, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
The Rams wisely didn't stop their search for a backup running back when they signed Jerious Norwood Tuesday. While Williams and his bionic knees certainly aren't explosive, he'd be capable of carrying a decent-sized workload if Steven Jackson were to go down. Caddy could also end up spelling Jackson on some third downs, but would barely get any early-down reps as long as S-Jax is healthy.

Mortensen is lost, as usual.

Jackson barely plays on third down anymore, which is why you don't see him catching 50+ balls these days. The plan the last two years to help lighten his workload was to stop using him on third downs so much.

Maybe the 9ers are trying to edge ahead of the Bengals in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. :shifty:

 

[Bmore]

It's looking like Malcolm Floyd will be a Ravens and Mason a Jet. Interesting...

Free agent LB Lofa Tatupu is still scheduled to visit with the Redskins on Thursday.
The Redskins re-signed ILB Rocky McIntosh on Wednesday, so the timing is odd. Perhaps the 'Skins want to kick the tires on the 28-year-old Tatupu as a possible eventual replacement for 36-year-old London Fletcher. Or maybe they just feel like tossing some money around. ProFootballTalk.com reported Thursday that the Redskins are $18.7 million under the salary cap. YEAH BUT DONT GET A FUCKING QB

Donte Whitner signs a 2 year deal with the Bengals.

Such a big signing for us, we need all the secondary help we can get

 

[corbin]

Ahem, I'd give Justin Smith the honor of 2nd best player on that 49ers defense. He was stout against the run and a beast of an interior pass rusher. Underrated.

Couldn't be any more correct with this statement. Justin Smith is a monster, and just because he doesn't rack up double digit sacks every year doesn't mean he's not an elite defensive end.

True that, especially of a 3-4 end. A DE that can stop the run is just as valuable as one that racks up sacks.

Jets released WR Jerricho Cotchery.

Fuck You Derrick Mason.

 

[Rudi]

Uh, fuck Donte Whitner. - Former Bills S Donte Whitner did NOT go to Cincinnati. He agreed to a 3-year, $11.75 million deal with $4 million gtd with the 49ERS.

He tweeted "WHO DEY" earlier

Smart move by him. The Bengals are completely satisfied with mediocrity and it pisses me off. How can you coach a team for 9 seasons and make the playoffs only twice and STILL be their head coach? Only in Cincinnati...
