FA Moves?

[Sandlot]

Going in another direction here . . . there are some really talented guys who are on the market that I would love to at least have the Niners talk to.

OG Nicks from NO

WR Vincent Jackson
Desean Jacson (going to be franchised but I still love him)
Dwayne Bowe

Also Mario Williams. (Can play OLB in our d.

I think the priority has to be on our guys but if we can lock them up then we might as well take a shot at some big names. We have a good amount of cap space so it might be possible.
I really like Iupati and Snyder is a quality player but I would definitely move him to the bench if it meant Nicks coming over.
The receiver need is obvious.
Mario Williams is an amazing player. Could you imagine our LBs with Willis Bowman Smith and Williams? Pass rush would be insane and obviously we could still stuff the run. I doubt he's even on our radar but I'm just saying.

I agree that we need a veteran WR, but let's not forget that we have Josh Morgan coming back who started out the season great until his injury. Also, Harbaugh said that his system takes 2 years to understand and master. One of the reasons I think some of the WR play was off was because of the lack of practice and study of Harbaugh's system. Once they get an off season, I think the WRs and Smith will really start to sync up. So where I agree we should get a veteran WR, I'm not sure how much I would give up. Wasn't that supposed to be Braylon Edwards anyways....?

Also, I'm really excited to see how Kyle Williams responds to the playoff debacle. My prediction is that he works his ass off this off season and comes out playing great next season. Just a little side note.

Morgan is a quality player but I don't think we can rely on him to be the answer. I really like Crabtree and I think K Will has a lot of potential still but I still believe there is a whole. Harbaughs system may take some time but 1 catch by a WR in the NFC championship game is not acceptable. I would prefer another big target guy for 3rd downs and goal line situations. I know this is what Braylon was supposed to be but his injury slowed him down.

If we can resign the bulk of our guys then this is the biggest whole.

New guy here on the boards but I've been reading as a guest for a while now.

Mike Wallace is my current favorite player and I can definitely see him as a number 1 in SF. He has stated that he could see himself being either a patriot or a 49er, he also has a good relationship with Crabtree.

He's a RFA and a reach, but with the right moves, it is possible that he lands here. I wouldn't mind trading away our first rounder or so.

Many fans believe that he wouldn't fit well within our system and that Alex Smith lacks the arm that would be compatible with deep threat Wallace. But I believe.

Upgrades at WR has to be among the biggest FA priorities.

I'm at the point where I'm comfortable using Crabtree and bust in the same sentence. He's may not be completely worthless, but I don't ever see him as being a #1 receiver on any decent team. Getting at least one of the guys that may be on the market (Mike Wallace, Marques Colston, Mario Manningham, Vincent Jackson) seems like it should pay the biggest return on investment for the coming season.

Welcome!

Yeah I'd be all for Mike Wallace. He's one of, if not the fastest receiver the L. Having a deep threat like that would really open up the offense.

Agreed. Let Wallace take the safety away and Crabtree and VD work underneath. Morgan and Kyle Williams are solid. I say we take a chance on Eddie Royal. Decent rookie season and nothing much since. Can return punts and kickoffs and could be a decent wideout with us.

[Dalbi]

I am not a huge fan of getting Mike Wallace. He is a great player but I don't think he is worth all we would have to give. It would be a huge contract. I love Wallace but Smith isn't great at throwing the deep ball except when it is to the middle to Vernon. I think we can sign a different receiver and still keep our first round pick. To me we would be in a much better position going after a different receiver.

[TheSurgeon49]

Thanks for the warm welcome NNN!

Dalbi, that's my main concern, the fact that A. Smith doesn't exactly posses a cannon, but nonetheless, Wallace would be quite a pick up. I'm sure that Smith will be able to adjust, his mentality would just need a little grooming. But I definitely understand your logic. All the while, I also believe that taking such a risk would be exciting, and I believe that the outcome will be positive. Of course, I'm an optimist.

[RIPskaterdude]

I'm just hoping that the Niners don't cave and give Alex a 5 year contract. I mean, he had a good season last year, don't get me wrong, but....3 years tops, IMO.

[Hopper15]

They'll stand firm. If someone gives Smith a better offer, more power to him. No need to bid against yourself and cave in because the Bills and jets are stupid.

[TheSurgeon49]

What are the chances of acquiring Mario Williams?

[Stephano]

He's going to get a gigantic contract, so close to 0

[Wolfay]

Officially signed a one year deal with Randy Moss. It's a low risk, potentially Super Bowl winning move.

I like it. Unfortunately, I really feel like last year was our year to win it all (until a certain player fumbled it away twice), so I'm not so certain about how this year is going to go. We had a record breaking defense and hardly ever turned it over...not so sure that can happen again this year, so we'll definitely need to rely on our offense more this year.
