NFL Free Agents 2011: Matt Hasselbeck Agrees To Contract With Tennessee Titans

by David Fucillo on Jul 27, 2011 6:24 AM PDT in 49ers QB 2011

Well, it looks like any potential discussion surrounding Matt Hasselbeck will be coming to a close. The terms of the contract were not disclosed but it sounds like he might have received a multi-year deal with the Titans. Aside from his injury issues, that would make sense as a reason for the 49ers not to pursue Hasselbeck any further.

There has been some speculation the 49ers might add some level of veteran quarterback, but aside from Hasselbeck they haven't really been connected to any other QBs at this point. Some folks wanted to see the 49ers trade for Josh Johnson but there hasn't been any discussion of that. Kyle Orton is available via trade but no mention (not that many want the Neck Beard).

Really we're at a point where the Matt Moore's and Marc Bulger's of the world are your best free agent options. Is there anything to suggest we won't see Alex Smith, David Carr and Colin Kaepernick as the 49ers quarterback options every Sunday this year?

I'll bet it's Smith Kaepernick and Carr

A UDFA QB who could, I don’t know….. actually play QB would have been nice. We’re looking at going into next season with Kaepernick on the roster, and that’s it. Would be nice to have a back up who actually spent an entire year on the team and in the offensive system. Not getting Froman is kinda a disappointment.

Smith would make a fine backup next year. Intelligent, friendly, and able to come in relief. But I think Alex would prefer going elsewhere. That’s a problem we can solve next year

Everyone can get their wish next year and we can sign Johnson as a FA

What other vet options are out there?

Has Billy Volek or Bruce Gradkowski signed with their teams yet? Carr might be fine as a #2, eventually #3. But there’s every indication he’s not on the team this year. What other options are out there?

Gradkowski in talks with Bengals, according to Schefter....

They told O' Hara yesterday he was getting released

Baalke should be on the phone with him right now. If he isn’t, I’d say we are going to be screwed.

For real

If he’s been released he’d be a great piece to add to a young O line.

Giants are releasing him and Seubert

Plus there are other Centers on the market that haven’t agreed to terms. We will get someone else, despite how much we all thought Baas should be back.

i would love to see Orton come in for the right price

he’s massively underrated, he should be a starter in this league. neckbeard ftw.

We are getting our butt kicked in free agency

It’s still early. If we don’t agree to terms with 2-3 players today I’ll start to worry.

If McDonald walks

We should be very worried.

Not really,

Just shows the FO are not committing to inflated contracts for players who aren’t worth it. Baas is not a pro bowl center, and he’s over 30. FO made the right choice again, same as with Takeo

Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs in 2012, hopefully! :)
