We get our FA WR. Interested to see the terms.
| Quote: | | A league source tells PFT that Manningham has agreed to terms with the 49ers on a two-year deal. |
So now we have Crabs, Moss, Williams, and Manningham under contract. Other WR's under contract include Joe Hastings, John Matthews, and Dontovia Bogan. This probably rules out Mike Wallace, but i still think we will draft a WR at some point, and maybe still with the 30th pick.

I'm glad it's not for too much.. Let him play the two years, and if he solidfys himself as a true #1 he can really get paid.
Everything is lining up for Coby Fleener in the 1st.

I'm down with that. Whoever our QB is this season will have some decent targets to throw to at least.

Someone on espn or nfl.com wrote an article about how all contracts in this free agency are structured in such ways that they could be terminated after 2 years. Players want to become free agents when the new TV contracts kick in and the salary cap gets bumped up by 15-20 millions. They're all expecting a bigger pay day. At least with Manningham's 2 years contract, there's no hypocrisy about it. It will be 2 years, then pay day.
I think it's great, because there's no way there can be enough guaranteed money involved to come back and bite us in the arse if it doesn't work out.

I actually can't think of a glaring need in the 1st except for maybe C/G. Whether we have Peyton, Alex, Josh, or Colin, we won't draft a QB. Don't see a defensive position to be taken Round 1. Won't take a FB or OT either. To me it boils down to WR, C/G, TE, and maybe even RB. Other than that we're pretty clear to go BPA and bolster the team's depth.

That's the only reason im happy about it. If it was a 5 year deal with a lot of guaranteed money..

If Cordy Glenn somehow falls it will probably be him.. If not, Fleener or whoever they like more out of Hil/Randle/Jeffery

This is a good place to be in finally. I remember when our team was brutally bad. Now we barely have to figure out what our needs are. This team is going to be running on all cylinders in a couple years when everything gets even nicer player wise.

That's the beauty of filling needs in free agency. You can just go into the draft and pick BPA. I know some people insist on fixing a need, but BPA is always the best. When you get to the point where you only have one or two holes on your team, you can scheme around it. You'd rather not have to, but you can. We've done it all year long, and it took us almost to the superbowl. In the long run, talent level will help you win more than having just a well-rounded roster. It's a playmaker league.

I love this signing at two years...I really didn't want to give him a meachem like contract because i don't think he's worth it; but i definitely think there's some value here (especially if he can stay healthy).
I have to imagine we go interior lineman in the first...i wouldnt be shocked if konz is available when denver picks that we leapfrog baltimore to make sure we land him. I'm pretty sure he can slide over to guard. we could also pull a sleeper pick...go with someone like mike adams at tackle and slide anthony davis inside. I'm really intrigued what we do in the first round now. Honestly though, if we really want manning (and it seems they are very very serious about it), then we've got to fix that right guard position.

Am I the only one here who would actually start Konz at C this year, if we picked him? I'd prefer to have Goodwin battle it out at RG than leaving him at C this year. I really feel Goodwin was a bigger liability than he was credited for last year. People tend to ignore it just because he went to the probowl once. But he was simply not very good.
My dream OL (if we picked Konz, that is):
Staley - Iupati - Konz - Davis - Boone
Now that looks freakishly athletic and nasty. Or we sign Schwartz and have him battle for RG with Goodwin and Kilgore. Kilgore could back-up all three interior linemen. Schwartz could back up tackles and guards. If Goodwin loses out, he's the first back up center and can back up guards. If Davis remains at RT, Boone backs up both tackles. Lots of flexibility.

I am so-so on the signing. Mario can make big plays but drop some easy ones too but if Manning signs with us then I could care less

I'm definitely all for starting Konz at center, I just don't know if they'll do that. I think Konz would probably be better right now anyway. I didn't feel that goodwin was that great last year, but he's got that larry allen rep going on, where people just think hes great because they may know who he is. I'm not sold on Boone just yet. I think he's progressing, and i'd love to get anthony davis inside (he's a nightmare when he's on an island), but i dont know that boone is going to be any better. Thats why i mentioned that a sleeper pick may be mike adams from osu. I just really think, as we stand right now, we have to address that single line spot and then we're pretty solid everywhere (and we need to be, because the schedule is brutal this year)

We needed more depth at receiver. He probably won't be a #1, but it's only two years, and we badly needed depth. We now have 3 nfl caliber receivers, with a Kyle Williams who can be one in a more limited role. Add a rookie, and now we're rolling. Develop that rookie, and when Manningham's contract is up, he can walk and we have someone of the roster ready to step in.
