Well that was unexpected, but it could be encouraging if they are looking at him as a SS.

If they're looking at him as a FS, not as much.

A tweet from free agent John Abraham late Saturday indicated that he's returned home after club-facility visits to the 49ers and Seahawks.
"Thanks Seahawks (and) 49ers for great visits," he said. "Back home in A(tlanta), time for some rest." Abraham has drawn interest from the Titans and Bucs as well. We expect him to command at least $5 million annually on his next deal.

I could live with brining in a vet like Delmas if the price was right, but I'm not going to overpay for a safety. I'd still look at the draft too though since this season is Whitner's last.

Why not? Tedd Ginn was one of the few best return men in the NFL his first year in SF.

When we got Ginn, we had virtually no options in the return game and less talent overall. Now we have several options as well as an improved roster. I don't want to tie up a roster spot on someone that can only contribute in one way and has almost no potential to improve.

Agreed. KW, Cox or LMJ can handle return duties, we need players who can contribute on offense and defense.

Looking over the recent FA lists, there's a lot of decent to good secondary help out there. Could be able to let us have more flexibility heading into the draft if we sign someone like Glover Quinn or Keenan Lewis.

One guy who could be a HUGE steal for some team is Kenny Phillips. He played 16 games in 2011.

Howeve, I wouldn't recommend the 49ers taking that risk because him playing 16 games this season is a long shot IMO.

I thought about him, too, but shy away for the same reason.

RT @KimJonesSports: NYG signs DT Cullen Jenkins to a three-year deal for $8 million, $3 million guaranteed. Nice pickup ... Good job, KIm.

Well, at least Richard Seymour is still out there. Chris Canty too.

 

[Dodub]

I had heard that he signed with them but I didn't realize how reasonable it was. There is no way we didn't try to match that. My guess is that he wanted to play for the Giants.

He'd probably get more playing time for the VaGiants.

I had to check myself about the anger I felt about the Jenkins signing. The past few years I've been so jacked about FA and then there's a lack of Niner news or rumors, and the signings of players I like to other teams. Then suddenly signings start to happen and I realize the FO has a plan. I'm going to be patient but I really want to see what's happening behind the scenes. Are they planning any cuts? Manningham, Whitner, Goodwin, Harylson? Is there any movement on Goldson, Walker, Sop or RJF? Are we in play for Sean Smith, Chris Houston, Or Brent Grimes?

This will all be solved soon enough but I can't help getting concerned and hopeful.

Canty is supposedly close to a deal with the Packers and Jenkins wanted to stay on the East Coast according to PFCentral.

Has there been any news on Seymour? I havent heard anything with him and he's one my favorites out there

Well crap.

I Guess Seymour is back on top of my DE wish list. Maybe Williams Hayes? (probably too expensive / long of a contract for a depth guy).

Greg Jennings sheds light on his decision process | ProFootballTalk

Said Jennings, per USA Today: “Coaching means a lot, the dynamic of the team. To me, the quarterback means a lot, if they have one or not, and I have to make sure my family is comfortable.”
