49ers Offseason Report

Well, just when it looked like the 49ers found a solid #2 wideout to complement Owens (no, not, "compliment", which he does not need any more of)   , said player, restricted free-agent Tai Streets, is saying he wants out. Here is ALL the LATEST HOT off "the Gridiron Newsstand":
http://www.oaklandtribune.com/Stories/0,1413,82~10835~1251968,00.html;
http://www.pressdemocrat.com/49ers/news/18niners_c1.html.
Will this actually happen? Or, if/when push comes to shove, will the 49ers retain him? I mean it has already been being reported on our "Jets WR" thread that the 49ers appear willing to make it so the Jets can get him without having to give up a 1st-round pick, which is the necessary compensation to acquire a restricted free-agent not under a "new" contract. What do you all think?
Edited to adjust the Topic!

Well, well, well, with Streets's staying put, the team has officially told J. J. Stokes to go out and find himself a trade! Good idea! Time to cut this dead  weight! No corroboration from the Newsstand yet, but a link to the piece currently sits second to the top of "the Real Feed"!
Also, from "the Gridiron Newsstand", the 49ers are showing interest in former Rams DT D'Marco Farr who has been in retirement for the last two years.  Here is the report:

What do you think about that? Good  or Headin' out to picket  !

I, for one, don't know! You could send an e-mail to our resident Rams fan "Marshall_Law". He does not come around too often, but he may if requested to by e-mail. There is no harm in trying (to bring one of the family members "on-line" with us)!

Dirk, way to go on getting the exact quote there from Pro Football Weekly, which is NOW available at "the Gridiron Newsstand"! Whether or not you actually went there via the Newsstand (note, this would not be a good time to show your veracity to me... just let me believe whatever... unless, of course, you did ), I REALLY appreciate your using our (de facto) "endorsed" sources!

Here is the exact quote from ProFootballWeekly.com
Please note, it is in their WHISPERS section:
With new 49ers head coach Dennis Erickson possibly leaning toward more one-RB sets, there is an outside shot that RB Garrison Hearst becomes a surprise cap casualty.
I am not surprised at this rumor at all. I have heard this for the past few months. Gotta remember that Erickson has NO loyalty to Hearst. The one guy who had strong ties to him was Coach Rathman, and he went to Detroit with Mariucci.
If Hearst became a cap casualty, 10 to 1 he will sign in Detroit. PERFECT FIT!!! |

WOW...check this article out. It looks more and more like Barlow will be the featured back. Hearst could be a 2.2. million dollar backup or more likely, be released after June 1st. This theory is increased in speculation by the number of rookie running backs the 49ers are bringing in.

The 9ers draft was ho-hum. Drafted an OT to replace Fiore and a DT and DE to help the line (which wasn't that great considering it had Stubblefield, Bryant Young, and Andre Carter), and some WR. Stubbs has been cut so we'll see if this is an improvement or not. Hopefully for my team it'll pay off this year.
The only fantasy player of note, who probably won't make the team, is Ken Dorsey. They grabbed him in the 7th but he'll be sitting behind Garcia, McNown, Rattay, and god knows who else.
NFLEurope, anyone? Sure, we'd all have loved to see them get a #2 to complement Owens, but they drafted what they needed, linemen. The only position they didn't address was DB, but after drafting Rumpf last year you can't blame them for not going after another.
I don't see anything to indicate the 9ers would be better or worse offensively this next year, but as you all know the Hearst/Barlow thing is still unresolved.

Found a somewhat interesting article by way of "the Gridiron Newsstand" regarding the nut the 49ers have to crack this offseason, according to the writer of the piece of course. It is titled "Wild, Wild, Offseason still Ahead for 49ers"! There are issues with the piece, though, which was just published on May 6th, like, e.g., the fact that he suggests that the 49ers should make a run for Marcus Robinson, the Ravens' signing of whom is old news. I mean, for God's sake, they themselves published an article on the Robinson signing on May 2nd that is second on their "NFL Headlines" interal feed!  So, this is not the most responsible of journalism or presentations, but it is an interesting take from a somewhat informed "dude". Here is the link:
http://www.allsports.com/cgi-bin/showstory.cgi?story_id=41368.
Any thoughts on his "positions"?  Any thoughts on this source?

Well, now, as per "the Gridiron Newsstand", we know the conclusion to this whole thing... "Farr and away," just a bunch of hype! I just knew that was going to happen after the (more sensible) Kirschke signing.

Well, a lot going on with the 49ers this weekend. QB Cade McNown is gone; RB Rashaan Salaam is in... mainly because they are very thin at running back with Kevan Barlow's ailing knee (hmmmm...) and Garrison Hearst's being away due to family matters. LOTS of question marks; LOT of ?'s... Here is how it all reads in the primary sources available on "the Gridiron Newsstand" (first three on McNown only, second three on both McNown and Salaam):
http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/football/nfl/san_francisco _49ers/5889465.htm;
http://www.bayarea.com/mld/cctimes/sports/football/nfl/san_francisco_49e rs/5889236.htm;
http://www.sf49ers.com/newsroom/DisplayNews.asp?newsid=1204;
http://www.sacbee.com/content/sports/football/sf_49ers/story/6688313p-76 39938c.html;
http://www.pressdemocrat.com/49ers/news/18niners_c5empirec.html;
http://www.sf49ers.com/newsroom/DisplayNews.asp?newsid=1205.
So, what do you guys make of it all? Does Cade McNown resurface somewhere else? Does it even matter if he does? I think not! How about Salaam? I'll say this much... If people are saying Hearst might not survive Erickson's youth movement, how in the hell will Salaam? His is just a temporary contract anyway. And, finally, how about Barlow's knee? Before these reports, I chalked it up to offseason rhetoric. BUT, if we are going to get all worked up over Holmes's hip, I'd say it is about time to get bent out of shape regarding Barlow's knee, especially since Barlow's grasp on the starting position in San Fran is, well, QUITE a bit more precarious, that is assuming he is even considered their starting running back!

But, lame news from a fantasy standpoint.
