Glorious news! We are almost there, friends. While, during this offseason I've taken a liking to many sports I previously hadn't, I'm more than ready to throw them aside for the most part as we get ready for some football! The past few months I've been referring to it as gridiron because I've legitimately been interested in soccer. I think a good middle ground is referring to it as soccer while real football is in season. I've gotten into volleyball, back into baseball, plane-racing, competative eating and so, so much more. But as soon as training camp opens I'll forget all of them exist, save for maybe baseball because I kinda like that one team.. the.. Giants, I think they're called? Who knows. Anyway. Rookie signage, supposed to go down today, let's cross our fingers. Enjoy the links.
Anthony Davis is reportedly going to sign a contract this morning. Navorro Bowman is, too. That's great, I wonder why there have been little-to-no talks with Mike Iupati as of yet? (CSNBayArea.com)
It's been awhile, but the NFC West landscape finally favors the 49ers. It feels really good, doesn't it? (SacBee.com)
Sam Lam posted his pre-camp 53-man roster projection. Interesting to see 6 RB and 3 TE. Also, scratching my head a little on Tony Wragge, but mostly because I've written him off, myself. I'm thinking there won't be nine offensive lineman on the roster, especially considering the fact that a third, blocking tight end is included. (Examiner.com)
On top of our coverage here at Niners Nation, myself, Fooch and maybe even Sam Lam will have a training camp story stream going over at the Bay Area site. (SB Nation Bay Area)
Singletary eager to move on with the youth movement. I'm inclined to agree - it started with Chilo Rachal being inserted basically immediately when Singletary took over. (SacBee.com)
Yesterday, he had his first of five questions about the 49ers entering training camp. Today, Maiocco has number four. (CSNBayArea.com)
Barber tried his hand at predicting Navorro Bowman's contract. I think Bowman will make a little more than the players drafted immediately before and after him. (PressDemocrat.com)
The 49ers have a lot of confidence in Alex Smith, and they had better be right. I agree. (MercuryNews.com)
Here is Maiocco's latest chat transcript. (CSNBayArea.com)
Lynch of the Chronicle takes a look at the tight ends for the 49ers. (SFGate.com)
I still couldn't believe this when I first read about it, but here's a bit about Vernon Davis' curling with the stars. (49ers.com)

Mays is expected to sign too it sounds like
closing in on deal. I’m hoping that Iupati’s agent is just taking his turn and that big Mike wants to be signed so it will happen quickly, being announced around the same time as the others.

Wait we drafted Taylor Mays??
When did this happen?
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I understand your shock
he wasn’t on our radar in the first round, where most had him mocked. However at 49th overall, you’d have to be an idiot to pass on him. I wonder who will fall to us next year since there seems to be a recurring trend?

It wasn't really... going for a joke or anything.
I mean, obviously I was kidding, but if I was trying to knock you guys dead I’d give you a pun a day like I do on another board.

Great quote from Delanie Walker in the curling article
“If you tell Coach Singletary you got hurt curling, I don’t know if you’re going to be there the next day,” Walker joked.
Somebody HAS to do that as a joke and tape sing’s reaction… :)
why
“I think Bowman will make a little more than the players drafted immediately before and after him”
I dont get it, why? he went in the 3rd round prove that you worth more than that.
he would have been a steal early in the third, we got him near the end...
but we’ll see how much he makes…slot is slot most of the time

You never put up the "at least we're not" post up yesterday.....
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.
"I'm just like you, but 10 times better"
He's been saying he'll post that for at least a week now.
I’m not sure but it seems to me it might be a back-up post waiting in the wings just incase there is nothing esle going on.
I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".
Yeah.. backup post.
