Free Agency news and signings

great news

I disagree. I was hoping Seattle would pony up for him. I think that was a bad signing by the Bears.

Whatever will help keep our QB (and honestly, Alex Smith) from being injured is what I care about most. All reputable pass rushers leave our division rivals and/or join us for cheap.

No point in worrying about Seattle's future salary cap situation and their ability to sign their own free agents. Let's focus on the current talent of the teams in our division. Jared Allen not joining the Seahawks is great news no matter how you spin it.

Rams apparently signed Shaun Hill. Didn't see that posted, but apologies if it was.

Knowshon Moreno to the Dolphins on a 1-yr deal.

@AdamSchefter: RB Maurice Jones-Drew scheduled to fly to Oakland tonight to visit Raiders Fri. One source said there's "a good chance" Oakland signs MJD.

That would be a good move for Oakland IMO.

Jared Allen not joining the Seahawks is great news no matter how you spin it.

Seattle not signing him to a 4-year, 32 million dollar deal is not good news. They're just going to spend that money on players who will help the team more in the long run.

Does it really matter? One contract like that will not handicap them. Especially with the cap that will keep increasing. They would've been in fine shape to retain their own players one way or another.

Yes it matters; no it wouldn't have handicapped them. But one signing doesn't have to "handicap" a team for it to be bad news for them.

Seattle is doing quite well this offseason, and they dodged a bullet by not signing Allen. I'm just glad they didn't successfully low-ball Henry Melton.

Vince Wilfork re-did his contract, and he'll remain a Patriot. He just signed a 3-year deal.

Crap. New England's looking nasty.

I see what you are saying, but I don't think it matters. So let's leave it that.

Sanchez agrees to deal with Eagles

Jones-Drew to visit Raiders, could move quickly

 

[bigpb72]

Moreno agrees to deal to join Dolphins

Shaun Phillips, Titans strike two-year contract worth up to $6M

 

[BOB11]

1m[/ame] Despite shopping him and finding interest, Eagles have made decision to cut WR DeSean Jackson. Outright. Jackson is now a free agent.

 

[AU_Fever]

I wonder what it would take for the Niners to sign him. He needs to come home to the Bay Area. Might need to restructure some of the existing contracts. If Niners sign him, they can focus on CB in the first round. Just imagine Jackson, Boldin, Crabtree and Davis.

It's unlikely we will go from a power offense to a spread offense in one offseason. Harbaugh has said we will use more 3 WRs sets this year but we were dead last in that category last year and we will be at the bottom of the league again this year. DJax is a great player and boy do we need speed at WR but unless he comes in cheap on a one year deal we won't use him enough to pay him what he wants.

I would welcome DJax with open arms to the 49ers but I don't see a way other then changing our entire offensive philosophy in one offsesason to fit him on the 49ers.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Perhaps more to the point, DJax would be stupid to come to us on a one-year contract. He won't get nearly the opportunities he would on 28 other teams.

Thank God I'm not a Bengals' fan; I'd have to be put on suicide watch:
