The roster shuffling for the 49ers continued on Wednesday, as the team decided to part ways with wide out Brandon Jones, this after one forgettable season with San Fran. He still walks away a rich man, leaving with a $5.4 million dollar bonus from when he inked with the club last season.
Two days after [...]

The Westbrook signing also comes on the same day the 49ers traded disgruntled 2008 first round pick Kentwan Balmer to the Seattle Seahawks for an undisclosed draft pick, (thought to be a sixth rounder originally).
Balmer, who was converted from a five technique defensive tackle to a 3-4 defensive end, will revert back to his old [...]

CSN reports that the Niners are looking to get at least $960,000 from Kentwan Balmer, a guy who continues to stay away from camp:
The 49ers will seek to recoup at least $960,000 from absent defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer, a first-round draft choice in 2008, a league source told Comcast SportsNet on Thursday. The 49ers declined [...]

In the latest Kentwan Balmer case, there seems to be some good news, and that is he says he will be back with the team and he’ll chat with Mike Singletary about why he left:
Kentwan Balmer, absent from training camp without permission, said he would talk with coach Mike Singletary on Wednesday and plans to [...]

csnbayarea.com says that this is a make or break year for DE Kentwan Balmer:
Last summer, 49ers defensive coordinator Greg Manusky raved about Balmer’s offseason work. Watching him in his first two seasons Balmer seems to work hard and hustle from drill to drill and he seems to take the game seriously and is willing to [...]

With the first day of training camp practices beginning today, the 49ers will have their top draft pick in uniform– defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer. The “San Francisco Chronicle” reports both sides were able to reach an agreement on a contract late Wednesday night and Balmer flew from Los Angeles to the Bay Area in time for [...]

Links, links, links. That’s the name of the game in this post. There is a plethora of Niners information on the ‘net and I wanted to consolidate it in this space.
Pro Football Weekly had a roundup on the Niners’ draft. Instead of providing a link, I figured I would save the hassle [...]

Doesn’t life feel more complete now that this year’s NFL Draft is wrapped up? Wait, whhaaa? The Niners took probably their fourth or fifth ideal option in the first round? They didn’t draft a wide receiver until the sixth round? They were noticeably hurt by not having the fifth-rounder that was callously [...]

The 49′ers went defense first for Mike Nolan on Saturday, as the team with the 29th overall pick took North Carolina DT Kentwan Blamer.  He is a player that can take over a game, but at the same time has had injury concerns.  He’s 6-4, 308, and was clocked at 5.33 in the 40.  He [...]

I have been mentioning several different Web sites’ draft projections for the Niners in my blogs, including those from NFLDraftBlitz.com.
Well, Anthony Conty at DraftBlitz was kind enough to share his projections for every Niners’ pick in the upcoming draft (their first-round mock draft is free, but they charge a subscription to view the rest of [...]
