http://www.49erswebzone.com/content/news/view.php?id=13434

According to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, the 49ers announced today that the team's stadium will once again be called "Candlestick Park." The stadium will be called "Candlestick Park" until the team moves to their new home, which will hopefully happen in 2012.

11:36 a.m.: I've heard the 49ers have started serious talks with recently released Rams receiver Isaac Bruce. Mike Martz, understandably, really wants him.

Hopefully y'all can find a qb that can get him the ball. Since Alex Smith is going to be a 49er for 3 more years it's not looking good.

3:14 p.m.: Isaac Bruce is not here. (Never was here today.) And Justin Smith has left the building (without being detected.

3:15 p.m.: I can only presume at this point that Smith has left without a contract agreement and his free-agency tour continues. As for Bruce, I believe there is still a strong possibility that he ends up in a 49ers uniform this season.

3:24 p.m.: The guys at the Star Tribune write that Smith is tentatively scheduled to visit the Vikings on Saturday. Earlier today when I communicated with Smith's agent, he said it was their "intent" to visit the Vikings. He hasn't returned my text messages or calls since.

3:54 p.m.: OK, it's official but not official. QB J.T. Sullivan has agreed to terms with the 49ers, said his agent Steve Baker. The contract will be signed in the coming days.

3:58 p.m.: Here comes word from Jim Steiner, Justin Smith's agent: "Nothing to report (with the 49ers). He is scheduled to go to (Minnesota) tomorrow."

4:13 p.m.: Don't think the 49ers are going to over-extend on Smith. They're willing to pay him a very nice contract, but I'm told their ceiling is about $8 million a year.

DE Justin Smith is still unsigned, and he is expected to make a trip to Minnesota Saturday, to visit with the Vikings.

That news should get a lot of people at Winter Park fired up, because Smith is one of the players they targeted from the outset. The 49ers were said to be making every effort to ensure he didn't leave without a deal. But he apparently has, which opens the door for the Vikings.

That said, this deal could put a dent in Zygi Wilf's pocket; Smith is said to command $8 million a year, with guarantees in excess of $18 million.

Cha-ching!

Smith can play both sides and the thinking is he can capitalize on one-on-one situations. He is a energy-player, and, by many accounts, a very likeable person.
