Free Agency news and signings

[Crimsoncrew]

I'd much rather have Thurmond, but assuming Cook is a reasonable deal, what the hell? Baalke has done a pretty good job identifying CBs to date, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If it's a longer/pricier deal, though, I'm not going to be very happy.

Not a first-round pick, but Cook does fit Baalke's FA pattern of bringing in high round disappointments. And our scheme places less pressure on CBs than many in the league.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

One-year deal. Probably won't be for a big number.

@MaioccoCSN: The Chris Cook signing does not eat much into the 49ers' cap space is not likely to take the place of any other notable free-agent deals.

@RavensInsider: Steve Smith said he had an offer from the San Diego Chargers, Redskins wanted him to visit, Seattle very interested, too

Let's just say I'm glad he's a Raven.

I called this one mid season, I think it's a good fit.

I wonder how much money Nicks signed for. Hope he can stay healthy.

17s[/ame] Nicks' one-year deal with the Colts has a base value of $3.5 million, with upside for more.

Hopefully Baalke is having coffee with Thurmond. Coffee is for closers

Good deal for the Colts. If Wayne is able to come back from his injury, Colts will have a good trio of receivers. That certainly makes Luck happy.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Huh. Not a bad move for them, depending on the money. I'll be interested to see what he gets. He might regret not taking the Niners 4/$16 million offer.

I'm sure it's protected against suspension, but that's a lot to give a guy who is one failed test from a LONG suspension.

@AdamSchefter: Former 49ers CB Tarell Brown reached agreement on a 1-year, $3.5M fully guaranteed contract with Raiders.
