Golden Nuggets: Those helmets... are the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Hey everyone, good morning. James here (slightly late again) posting your Nuggets as fast as he can. Actually, he feels the need to ramble for a little bit first. First, check out the last link if you're confused about my headline. If you check out the first link, you'll understand why I'm excited (by the way, I'm excited). We're finally interested in an OT and I couldn't be happier with the selection. We need to sign this guy if he passes the physical--then we can get a pass-rusher in the first (unless we get Julius Peppers? See third link.) Besides that, there's not a lot of links, but I do have a... decent amount, its all pretty much good news anyway, with a bit more Cutler rambling thrown in. That being said here's the links, enjoy them, read them, love them, and thank me over and over for them.

So the 49ers are finally interested in an OT during free agency. (PressDemocrat.com)

An article looking at why we're not including T Jonas Jennings in our future plans, and a bit on the CB situation. (SFGate.com)

So... Julius Peppers to the 49ers? Anybody? (MVN.com)

TE Billy Bajema and CB Donald Strickland are reportedly drawing interests from other teams. I'm OK with Bajema going, but I feel like we have a talent in Strickland... Then again my favorite CB on the Niners is Tarell Brown so... I dunno! (SacBee.com)

A look at what our helmets... could have looked like, if but the angry voice of the fans didn't practically voice their coming suicides if the deal went through. (Examiner.com)

I saw that picture on Uni Watch yesterday

same picture we’ve seen before but usually it’s in B&W so it was nice to see it in color. Still a good thing we never actually wore those helmets.

Still defending Rich Aurilia, and the Niners' classic unis

"Julius Peppers to the 49ers?"

looks like Mining The Gold Rush is a little late on reporting this, please see exhibit.1 – fanpost from a month ago:

Of course, but I don't link to fanposts.

And the Peppers link isn’t news so much as speculation from a writer that I already have a history of linking to.

RE: Peppers

The article mentions the Niners 2nd round pick and possibly a player as a pot-sweetener. Just curious as to what players we could throw in that would make it a sweeter deal. I would hate to see the team trade Haralson or Lawson, leaving Ray McDonald as about the only guy with trade value from our LB/DE unit that the team would consider trading (in this deal anyway), in my opinion. I’m quite certain the Niners wouldn’t give up a 2 and Haralson or Lawson, but I wouldn’t want to part with either guy AND a draft pick, let alone either guy.

Lawson will be 100% at the beginning of this season (but for how long), and Haralson is turning into a pretty good pash rusher. It would go against the team’s philosophy to trade young, drafted players on top of a draft pick itself, to acquire a high priced, older veteran.

Having said all of this, if we can find a way to get Peppers without giving up a lot, I’m all for it.
