A lot of people think Morgan is as good as gone, our ex coach Sullivan is going to persuade him to sign with Jacksonville. Time to let him walk, cut that bum williams, let ginn and Swain walk also. I say we do whatever it takes to bring in either v Jackson or m Wallace. That will be our #1, Crabtree #2, Eddie royal #3 then draft two rookie wrs.
CSN Bay Area's Matt Maicco expects the 49ers to make a run at free agent QB Josh Johnson if Alex Smith remains unsigned when the market opens on March 13.
Smith and the 49ers appear to be in a contract stalemate, with Smith seeking a five-year deal and the club only offering three. Maiocco suggests Johnson as a placeholder in front of 2011 second-round pick Colin Kaepernick. Both young quarterbacks are highly athletic, potentially making for a smooth transition if Johnson held the reigns for a bit before ceding way to Kaepernick.
i would take josh johnson but i think this is an attempt to get alex to come down to 3 years. is 4 years not a possibility? btw how does he expect to get 5 years?
49ers reportedly placed an original, seventh-round tender on restricted free agent ILB Larry Grant.
The original-round tender comes with a salary of approximately $1.26 million. The other option was a second-round tender at $1.92 million. In saving $700,000, the Niners stand a good chance to lose Grant for the price of just a seventh-round pick. He more than held his own as a fill-in for Patrick Willis in December.

You mad breh? only way we don't see a SB if they decide to keep Alex Smith .... but with a better QB and Moss, that's a threat..
And believe it or not, you'll see some good WR's in the 49ers offense next season...
I think JH can keep Moss checked, Moss also said he wanted to play in the bay again.......
Fortunately the Raiders have pretty much zero effect on my life. Yeah, it was a dissapointing ending last year but life is good. Nothing to be mad about really, but whatever floats your boat. Moss is the type of player that will ruin a locker room. You guys are not the Patriots buddy and Alex Smith isn't Tom Brady. If they sign him it is a bad move, imo.
