i can bet the 49ers would be willing to spend money on a big time player, which i dunno if drew brees is at that status yet, i would say the 49ers need a QB rattay just wont cut it, 49ers have a lot of cap space too.
if they dont go for a QB in the draft, i bet they go after one of the chargers QB's either brees or a trade for rivers possibly

[Hammaduersnes]

the vikes could pick up some great players here, but i think it would better to draft better players the pick the up.

[wrefrinny]

There is still a chance that Holmgren will be the niners coach next year.

[XangadsX]

ya thats what terry bradshaw has been saying as of late that the niners should fire erickson and get holmgren, i agree with him, it would be awesome if he came here!!!

[Xtatotvk]

I didn't follow the Niners this year, but what ever happened to Ken Dorsey? Is he considered to be a Lepper or some sort of Parriah in Ninerland these days? Knowing that Dorsey wasn't surrounded with a whole lot of protection this year I think he might be worthy of a second look to battle for the starting QB spot. I do think though that Dorsey needs to put on about 100 lbs. The guy is a total twig that looks like he might blow away in a moderate wind. Ok 25 lbs. I'm pretty sure there's much more than a QB that is needed to make that offense go again. They definitely need a RB. Barlow is good, but being the ONLY RB of the team he needs help. I can't say much else on the rest of the team so I won't. In closing I don't think the group should give up on Dorsey quite yet. He's not hurt is he?

[ImapFidaarram]

Brian Williams better be resigned and resigned to a 7 year contract.... lol

GO VIKES!

[tussinelde]

personally im not sold on pickett, if anybody really thinks he is our next star QB then i dont know what their thinking, its gonna be somebody else...
id rather it be someone already in the organization so we dont have to go for a QB in the draft but i dont see that happening sadly

corey simon was hit with the franchise tag.

[lh88gFzI]

why do you say that steagles??

[varrozans]

I see Ken Dilger and Ricky Dudly are both FAs for Tampa. Knowing that GB is potentially in the TE market depending on how the Bubba Franks situation plays out. I could see the Pack going after one of those for a one year deal (considering they are both middle to late in their careers) and draft a promising TE in the later rounds. I also wouldn't be suprised if the Pack just did their best at resigning Franks.

I'm not sure of the CBs and Safeties in FA this year, but it looks like there could be a couple that might be ready to take that next step up to challenge for a starting position. However Safeties are what we should be looking for. I think Carrol and McKenzie will be pretty good in Bates' new m.o.m. style defense. Perhaps draft another CB in the mid rounds. Although, again with Bates' new defense it might open the way for Roman and Sharper to step up and make some big time plays like they are both capable of.

It seems as though anyone on the D-line is either out of the Pack's price range or not really worth the money. I could be wrong. Perhaps a steal there for a one year run or a trade for Green or Davenport with a RB drafted in the first day (second or third round).

Keep in mind though this is all speculation and a little wishful thinking on my part.

[NaMbessemab]

lol good one, that is so true that it hurts me to say this, the 49ers just plain sucked this year, and cant get worse next season, their draft pick will make the offense at least 2 times better no matter who it is either rodgers, leinart, williams, it doesnt matter!

by the way do you happen to know when tom brady is a FA??

drew breeze will be playing in either dallas for the cowboys or in washington for the 'skins. either way, HE WILL NOT BE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

i can bet the 49ers would be willing to spend money on a big time player, which i dunno if drew brees is at that status yet, i would say the 49ers need a QB rattay just wont cut it, 49ers have a lot of cap space too.
if they dont go for a QB in the draft, i bet they go after one of the chargers QB's either brees or a trade for rivers possibly

the 49ers don't need a quarterback. cody pickett is a good quarterback for the future.

[cingularring]

why do you say that steagles??

both the cowboys and the redskins have shown that they are willing to spend money for a big time player. both of them need a quarterback. both of them have cap space. beyond that, nothing.

[horaAppagob]

just watch this is what will happen with the 49ers:

they will go after drew brees in FA.......and GET HIM!
then they will trade down in the draft to about #5 and get mike williams, then with some of the other picks they got from trading down they will draft O-Lineman or trade the picks for proven lineman already in the nfl

therefore making the niners a WAAAAAAAAAY better offense next year than they were this year, also with not so many injuries next year their defense will be better

(I hope this happens )

[Lolita Palmer]

I'll go out on a limb and say that the 49ers will definetly have a better offense next year.

I lied. Maurice Hicks is their second RB. Sorry about that.

hey purple, congratulations, your list was just read (well, summarized) on Packers Monday on AM 620 WTMJ in milwaukee courtesy of an email from yours truly. He was looking for free agents from teams around the NFL. Didnt expect to read it on the air.... pretty cool i guess. Also, i signed it Dan from Menomonee Falls, WI and i guess in the header of my email address it has my full name, so that was announced over the radio for all to hear. Oops! I didnt give credit, sorry, i think it would have sounded a bit silly to cite "Purple Gorilla" but just thought i'd let ya know.
