@mattbarrows 49ers have a visit with Oak WR Chaz Schillens.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Dan Connor visiting the Cowboys.

 

[Arete Tzu]

Chaz Schillens doesn't excite me, plus I hate having someone on our roster named Chaz, it's such a corny name, it makes me uncomfortable to say it.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Jason Campbell signed with da Bears for 1 year.

 

[SRPnVA]

Bills are about to overpay for Mario. Hope he can stay healthy.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Meachem has arrived in Buff for his visit.

 

[bigpb72]

Cox had 57 solo tackles, two forced fumbles and an interception as a rookie in 2010. Playing for current 49ers defensive backs coach Ed Donatell while in Denver, he appeared in 15 games with nine starts and ranked third among 2010 rookies with 14 passes defensed.

Cox isn't ready to predict himself in a starting role for 2012 in Vic Fangio's stingy defense.

"Whatever role I need to be in, I'll take full pride in it and give it my whole for the whole organization," he said. "If I am (a starter), it'll be proven. But if not, I'll take the backup role, also. I'm here to prove whatever I can prove. Whatever I'm asked to do, I'm here to do it."

Michelle Beisner:

Reports earlier that RB Michael Bush arrived in AZ to meet with The Cardinals. Although, MB is in AZ, he is NOT meeting with The Cards.

So was Taylor Mays - Physical Specimens mean very little - playing ability means everything - just sayin

I agree. All else being equal, though, I'll take the guy with great size and speed. Schillens drew quite favorable reviews from the Raiders when healthy. There was a lot of optimism about him in camp a few years ago. I have seen very little of him, but I think he's well worth kicking the tires.

PFT:

Per league source, TE John Carlson is visiting the Chiefs, but Colts, Bucs, Bears, Vikings, Cowboys, and Seahawks are all pursuing him.

Kind of surprised he's getting so much interest. I liked him as a bit of an afterthought pickup/ Not much available at TE, though, and the position is really popular these days. Can't see him returning to Seattle. They didn't even use Miller this past year.
