The 49ers re-signed tight end Billy Bajema to a one-year contract on Friday. Bajema is expected to continue to be a valuable special teams player…
Among Niner Insider Kevin Lynch’s recent tidbits are that Alex Smith has not spoken with Isaac Bruce and that Smith is working on his drop with Mike [...]
The Niners have made a signing, as the team has agreed to a deal with free-agent guard Jeb Terry. He was a fifth-round draft pick of the Bucs in 2004 out of North Carolina, and has played in 30 Pro games, making one start. Last season he was cut during camp and didn’t play in [...]
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell continued with his no nonsense policy sense becoming the leagues top guy. Today he informed the San Francisco 49?ers that they were forfeiting their 5th round pick in next month’s draft. This after an investigation that he determined the Niners tampered with Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs.
In a statement released by [...]
Niner Insider Kevin Lynch pointed out in a recent column that head coach Mike Nolan said the team would have taken Dwayne Bowe with the 11th pick last April if they hadn’t used it on Patrick Willis. This got me thinking: knowing now that both players excelled in their rookie years and look to be [...]
The San Francisco 49ers added another member to their secondary as they on Saturday re-signed cornerback Donald Strickland; terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Mainly active in the Noners’ nickel package, Strickland made 33 tackles with 5 passes defended in 13 games last season.
I haven’t been keeping apprised of the Niners proposed Santa Clara stadium. The team has officially begun a review process for the 68,500 stadium, which would expand to 75,000 in the event of hosting a Super Bowl. All the Niners had to do was write a $14,113 check.
The stadium is [...]
That was a nice waste of a fourth-round pick by the 49ers with their release of Darrell Jackson. Last year, the Niners traded their fourth-rounder in the draft to obtain Jackson. Of course, they didn’t make the trade with the anticipation of releasing him a year later, but between that [...]
The Darrell Jackson era in a 49′ers uniform is over after one very unproductive season. Today the Niners wavied Jackson, after a season in which he started 15 games, but caught just 46 balls for 497 yards and three touchdowns. “I always had a great deal of respect for Darrell,” 49ers coach Mike Nolan said. [...]
The 49ers and ex-Arizona Cardinal wide receiver Bryant Johnson have agreed to a one-year contract, as reported by Pro Football Weekly and ESPN Radio.
Johnson has caught at least 40 passes for the Cardinals the past four years and has 210 career catches and nine touchdowns in his five NFL seasons.
I put in an email to [...]
In what may be an end to his career, Trent Dilfer had his contract terminated by the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. Dilfer also would have received a $500,000 roster bonus if he was still on the team on March 15.
The move is hardly a surprise considering the 49ers already employ Alex Smith, Shaun Hill [...]
