Free Agency news and signings

[purguy12]

I don't know if I like Thurmond. He is an ok player. I guess taking a player from Seattle is a good thing.

According to @PFF, QBs had 69.5 passer rating when targeting Walter Thurmond in the slot (229 snaps); vs. Carlos Rogers 73.9 on 428 snaps.

Interesting...

Ian Rapoport:

This is an interesting twist. I’m told the #Seahawks are now interested in re-signing WR Sidney Rice, a salary cap casualty.

1m[/ame] Patriots free-agent WR Julian Edelman is scheduled to visit the 49ers on Friday, per source. SF also interested in Giants WR Hakeem Nicks.

I'd be interested in Nicks if it's a fairly low, incentive-oriented deal. If he can get back to his 2011 form, he's a weapon. Though he's had two mediocre years now. Not too interested in Edelman. We've already got two receivers who excel in the short and middle area. And Patton who looks like he could be good out of the slot. I'd rather look at guys who can stretch the field, and I don't see Edelman doing that. Though he could take over return duties.

That job has already been promised to Dri Archer.

...by me. It's sort of like shotgun: I called it, so he belongs to the Niners.

Thank god. I was wondering who called it.

I had I'm an Crabtree as my 1st and second favorite WR's in that draft followed closely by Kenny Britt. I think him and Crabtree are still fairly close when both are healthy. Nicks is going to command a high salary. Most likely too high.

Fucking bs. I really hate that team! Oh well. At least they have nothing at WR.

 

[NinerSickness]

I'm not scared of Brandon Browner. He can't juice any more, so he'll be ordinary to bad IMO.

I think you just like to say "juice".

@ProFootballTalk: Agent Peter Schaffer calls report of CB Brandon Browner deal in New England "100 percent untrue" Agent blasts report of Browner deal in New England | ProFootballTalk

Oh snap!


“It’s 100 percent untrue,” agent Peter Schaffer told PFT by phone, moments after the report landed on Twitter. “I’ve got four teams to negotiate with. I’ve got irresponsible journalists who don’t check their facts putting this stuff out there, and my phone is blowing up when I’m trying to play hockey.”

Haha so true.

Well I'm OJ Simpson in real life, so why wouldn't I?

...by the way, you're not the real killer are you?

 

[NinerSickness]

Oh boo hoo. Your life is so tough.

Now I'm convinced Pozz isn't really Adam Schefter. CP isn't this whiney.

Didn't it say Peter Schefter?

Whoops! Schaffer, Schefter. Tomato, tomahto.

I was only 8 when it happened. Speaking of which, it will be the 20 year anniversary in June. So go ahead and try to prove it.

I can see how it would get annoying with the press constantly calling, texting, and making up stories based off of anything they can get their hands on. However, I would be happy to take his job if he can't handle it.
