Interesting. This has to be injury related. I always liked him

Wonder if it has anything to do with the new CBA and drug testing? Long shot, but that was the first thing that I thought...

Retired ILB Channing Crowder is now talking about coming back for the 2012 season.
After drawing interest only from a few teams north of the Mason-Dixon line, Crowder opted to sit out the 2011 season while his wife has a baby. The year off will give his battered body a chance to get back to 100 percent, and he will turn just 28 years old in December.

Perfect! Sign him for the last game of the season so he can become familiar with the Niners & then have a contract offer ready for the next year!

Niners' defense + Ngata + Crowder + a good OLB + a #1 CB = DOMINATION!

...When I say it like that the future looks kind of bleak. But it can be done!

You mentioned Ngata & Willis the other day and I about fell down. That would require league approval!
