Official NN Free Agency/Trade Thread - Post-Spikes/Baas [7/27]

Email
PrintFooch's Note: I'll start linking to all the previous front page posts since we've got so much content coming out.
The loss of Takeo Spikes and David Baas got things flying in the last official free agency thread, so it's time to start another one. We've got a whole host of topics on the front page but this is our general supplement to that, particularly if you don't see a free agency topic to your liking.
The latest news has the 49ers signing Tony Wragge to a one year deal, potentially cutting David Carr tomorrow and in the running for Nnamdi Asomugha. Outside the 49ers bubble, the Cardinals could have a deal for Kolb in the next 48 hours (per @jasonlacanfora), and Kyle orton could be dealt to Miami. And that's just the rumor mill off the top of my head. Insanity continues.
Once again, try and keep free agency discussion in here and on the front page. If you have a unique angle you want to pursue that requires a bit more depth, feel free to create a FanPost. But if you're just looking to discuss free agents, this is your best bet.
If you write a FanPost that would better be served as a comment here, I or one of the moderators will likely use the warning system to instruct you to post your info as a comment. It will appear as a warning but it is only a warning in the sense that you need to move the content. We'll paste your content into the warning and you can copy it into the comments of this FanPost. The warnings are not disciplinary in nature, but rather a way to keep the front page a bit more organized.

I don't know about many...
There’s a few jumping off the edge… but I think most are waiting patiently for what is to come and be permanent.
No need to start going off on tangents until everything is set in stone… and even then, it’s kind of silly till we actually see the team play a few games in the regular season.
Sure, express your feelings… no matter how outrageous.

Yes everyone is just a bit Edggy ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
and a lot of these free agents
but we all knew the guys that have been “good” were going to get big paydays.
hopefully some more “ok” talent comes free from cuts, 49ers will need depth and patchwork starters at a few positions.

I wrote a few weeks ago free agency typically goes nuts after a CBA
Owners instantly sign their money away.

the problem with the baas
signing w/ the Giants is that it was said that the niners priority was him.
If they couldnt convince him to stay..what does that say about other free agents and the future?
by 11allstar on Jul 27, 2011 10:13 AM PDT reply actions 1 recs
I'm worried because Baas has a playbook, and the 49ers play the Giants this year
Obviously, the playbook will probably change and get pages added to it, but stil…
at least its out of conference..
and im pretty sure they are required to turn it in, along with clearing out the locker etc…not a huge thing..unless Baas has an axe to grind..
eh, baas barely knew the playbook
and coaches change teams all the time without it meaning much

It's funny cause last year this time we were crying
Cut Baas and now the shift? He did step in well and thats good but it was his contract year and he was only good a couple of season that were never consecutive.
Nnamdi!
I hope he has the Charles Woodson effect going on if he comes here! He has had some injuries the past two seasons. I don’t want to pay a bunch of loot for a player that is just going to be injured all the time!
Per his agent
Eric Weddle just became the highest paid safety in NFL history.

Took Mays high
put the man in and see if he floats. I’m not sweating Goldson, because I see Clements as a safety anyway. We just need the rookie to pan out as a number 3 guy, pick up Joseph or Nnamdi, and hope Spencer steps it backup.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.
spencer needs to go, i just really hope the niners do not resign goldson. someone team will probably offer too much money and we have decent safeties behind him.

Eric Berry's deal was 5 years $60 million
So that means Weddle is making at least $12 million per year average.
Is it a 5 year deal?

Then it has to be for more than $40 million
unless his agent has a very different definition of “highest paid safety” than the rest of the world
I'm not surprised about the Nnamdi to SF rumors
I’ve heard them a lot, especially in the days before Free Agency started.
I also believe us letting all these players walk is because we’re saving money to go after him.

I would still rather retain
Franklin and/or Lawson
Any news on Jonathan Joseph?
He is someone I want the FO to keep in their sites. In some ways, I think I’d prefer him over Nnamdi.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.
Ah
well, here’s hoping he doesn’t feel slighted if we lose the Nnamdi sweeps, and appear to go after him as our OTHER choice.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.
I would assume Joseph won't mind being second choice
As long as there’s enough teams left for a bidding war.
Love his youth
But the only concern is that he’s been injury prone.

comp picks
if the niners lose franklin, baas, goldson, lawson, TKO
but they sign Nnamdi, does the big free agent signing affect the comp picks?
"You know whats funny? I always thought uhm dogs lay eggs and I learned something new today" Peter Griffin
I never understood why they existed in the first place
It’s like “oh, you couldn’t keep your own guys? oh? and you refused to replace him? here you go, a free pick!”
I hope so.

It's done by quality and quantity of players lost, by quantity and quality added
So adding a player of Nnamdi’s quality would probably equate to a number of players we lose

OLINE
Staley, Mike, Wragge, Snyder, Davis…. is that what we are looking at? Wonder if any of the rookies could start?
that is what I am thinking, rookie center, rookie right guard or snyder at guard and chilo cut.

by HUNGRY HUNTER on Jul 27, 2011 10:34 AM PDT up reply actions
are you comfortable with it? I think Beeler might actually start this year. Jimmy has that much confidence in him.
if chilo is gone and snyder is there, would be much better pass protection but a little less in the run game; overall imporvement. a rookie on the line might not be that bad as there was to rookies on the line last year.

I think you're underestimating Chilo
He needs to find consistency and he can be very, very good. Reminds me of Alex Smith actually—really hot at times, really horrible at others
he has had three years to do it, cut the cord and the losses.

2 1/2 tops
I don’t think we should cut him. Snyder at guard? No thanks. Un proven late round rookie? How is that an improvement?
Make Rachal earn his job and keep having competition through the year.
2.5 tops? he is going into his fourth year? he was benched for games last year.
"You know whats funny? I always thought uhm dogs lay eggs and I learned something new today" Peter Griffin
by HUNGRY HUNTER on Jul 27, 2011 11:01 AM PDT up reply actions
Rachal was drafted in 2008
he started 6 games that year. He missed week 2 at New Orleans this year (can’t remember why but I think his ankle was hurt). He didn’t start in St. Louis but he played most of the snaps.
2009 he started every game.
2008 he started 6 games, played in 8. So yeah, 2 1/2 seasons. Too early to cut bait and run on a guy who, when he was drafted, was a bit of a reach and was known to be raw.
If he had been in the league for 4 years and was still this inconsistent, then yeah, cut bait and run.
too early to cut him
but would anyone be surprised if he’s not starting by the end of the year?
by whistlingmountain on Jul 27, 2011 11:08 AM PDT up reply actions
He wasn't benched.
He missed 1 game because of his child being born. And a half because of an injury.

That's fine
Easy to part ways with him. He knows the writing is on the wall with the young RBs we brought in and how frequently he’s been injured
Not to mention
His getting to that age where all RB’s hit the wall. This will probably be his last productive season anyway. Not worth the money IMO.

3-4million over a few years is a crap load of money. he also lives and has many ties to the bay area. he wants to be a actor and san francisco is really close to Los Angeles. Niners are also not that bad of a team and with Nnamdi on board covering the biggest weakness that the niners have had and should greatly make the niners a playoff team. what more can the jets offer? Mark Sanchez also sucks at the qb position.

Who knows
Get a decent center and maybe a DB or different RB but I would just get a couple of players for him because there is RB talent to be had In FA
He can't expect a bunch
He is perennially hurt and while his production is good it is of the low lows and high highs variety.
well I don't think a third is laughable
If Denver don’t manage to get Williams, they would easily part with a third, if not higher, for Gore

why all the frank gore hate?
Can you really blame him? His career is on the downside and he knows it.
because if he holds out
it limits the team’s ability to improve by getting better players. Meaning he’s putting himself over the team. Meanwhile, the jets players are willing to restructure and take cuts to get a single player. Thats why.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.

Why would we need an every down back??
He is a good pass catcher and we have guys who can run the ball up the gut
I think ALL rb's should at least be capable of being an everydown back.

There is no reason for a holdout
The 49ers have tailored everything to suit Gore and he wants to holdout now?? I’m sorry but maybe we need to build our offense around a different player? I can’t see us sinking money into him if he can’t stay healthy. Thanks for being one of the best in 9er history bud. I am always a fan but the business behind it is insane.
Up his pay this year
He deserves it. But don’t extend him because he does get hurt a ton. But he is a back who is def worth more than what is coming this year
$7 million this year
for a 28 year old running is more than fair. $4.9 million for a 29 year old RB is even better. When you consider that he’s only played one full season since becoming the starter it’s an even better deal.
I don’t see the team making concessions for him—I wouldn’t.
Grantland Article on Alex Smith
I like Grantland a lot, and it’s interesting to see outsider perspective. I disagree with the article though
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6808032/oh-my-god-eagles-wait-alex-@#-ing-smith-again
Alex Smith is largely a joke because he is the face of what has been an embarrassing offense
it’s 50/50 deserved. unfortunately for him he can’t just play well to erase it, the 49ers need to win. He could have a 95 rating this year, if the 49ers go 6-10 he will be blamed and his reputation will remain the same.

I hate when people bash Smith
I know he has been a major let down but he has had so many different offenses and coaches that his progression was bound to be killed. He played great when he had a coach who knew what he was doing with QBs (Shanahan) but that has not been the case recently and he lost a year to a shoulder injury. I would have loved to see what kind of player he would have been with the same system for 3 years in a row.

Cards
really trading Rogers-Cromartie for Kolb? So, they take Peterson to beef up the d-backfield, and then say, NAH, nevermind. We’d rather have a WAY over valued QB who hasn’t actually done anything, but for some reason the whole world has a man crush on him.
I feel better about our chances in the division.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.

A top draft pick.
Listen, sometimes no news is good news. Look at what the Seahawks have done in free agency. Brought in Tarvaris Jackson to compete with Charlie Whitehurst, that is just sad. They also signed the under performing Robert Gallery to a stupid contract.
The Cardinals are also going to sign an unproven signal caller to a franchise type contract while giving up their best pre-Peterson corner and a 2nd,3rd and conditional pick

if they can do something like that, why can the niners not give Nnamdi a 20million dollar contract per year with only a cap hit of 5million?
niners have way more cap space than the jets. I do not get how they can do that. there must a year where there is a huge cap hit, like a 15 or 20 million dollar cap hit. there has to be 7.5million added to other years.

Cliff Harris: "That we lost"
If Holmes really wanted to be in NY
They could pay him $2.45 guaranteed in this year and the rest over the rest of his contract. There are lots of creative ways to do contracts.
Some thinking about Nnamdi
If he was truly interested in signing with the Jets I assume it would have already happened by now. There is a reason why he is having in-depth conversations with the 49ers. I can’t tell you exactly what that reason is, but there is something to it.
Nnamdi is setting the market for fellow corners, so there is pressure for him to get a deal done soon. If the indications that SF first made contact today are true, it probably means that Nnamdi is seriously considering signing with the 49ers
Additionally, it was reported that the Jets offered a ceiling at 12MM per year, something the 49ers can beat by restructuring the contract of Clements or releasing him.
Also, don’t discount his ties to the Bay, which has lasted for well over a decade at this point and the fact that SF has a good chance of contending in the NFC West with him on board. Having Ed Donatell, who has an outstanding reputation around the league, as the secondary coach is a big deal too.
There are more factors pushing Nnamdi to San Francisco than there are pulling him to New York

It depends on what he values more
I think that the Niners could probably make a better financial offer (though I’m skeptical of the 12mm ceiling reports). But does Nnamdi want to contend for a Super Bowl next year? Let’s be honest, the Niners aren’t there (yet).
If he wants to compete for a championship immediately, he may give the Jets a discount. If he wants a little bit more money and to stay close to home on a good, but not great, team that has some additional rebuilding to do, he’ll go with the Niners.
Or Tampa/Houston will come in on Thursday with bags of cash and he’ll fold.
Given all the personnel we’ve lost so far during the 2-day off season, I hope we can land him.

This whole situation
reminds me an awful lot of Harbaughcalypse. Lots of interest from other teams. 49er FO selling him on the benefits of being a 49er without resorting to pure monetary issues, someone with ties to the area who might take less than the going rate to stay.
Makes me feel really good about our chances to get him.
I really hope you are right
and the fact that we are still in the conversation is a good sign that you might be.

Not exactly surprising
Gives us $14 million to play with. I have to think that we have a deal in place with a top CB, or we wouldn’t be releasing him.
not good news
I was hoping for a restructure. We can’t afford to lose any more players from the backfield. I doubt we will get much after Nnamdi. He is going to hurt. If we don’t have livable number 2, than the number one guy won’t really do much for us.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.
If cutting Clements
gets us Nmadi I’m happy with it. Shantae and Nmadi is an upgrade over Shantae and Nate

Seriously?
And #4 kills the legitimacy of this article pretty easily.
4. Deion Sanders Factor- Any player who wears the number 21 is making a personal tribute to Deion Sanders. Sanders is the measuring stick for all cornerbacks. Asomugha wears 21. Asomugha has a chance to join the 49ers and help the team return to their winning ways. He can come in and show he is equal to or better than Sanders covering receivers in a San Francisco uniform like Sanders used to. The opportunity is simply to appealing to pass up. Asomugha has already demonstrated that he is more physical than Sanders by his eagerness to come up and make tackles. Coming to San Francisco would enhance his legacy. Asomugha and Gore will have to work something out since Gore currently wears 21, but the opportunity to win is to great for both players not to get the number issue quickly resolved.

Anyone worried about the fact that Nnamdi only played one side of the field?
Sure it was the Raider’s dumb scheme and as we all know, simply moving your #1 to the other side of the field solved the Nnamdi problem but doesn’t that mean Nnamdi has only been locking down #2 receivers? And since Nnamdi isn’t exactly the youngest guy out there, and by no means is he super old either, are we going to be locking ourselves into another Clements problem? A guy who lost a step but was simply paid a little too much?

Chris Johnson's rookie deal
was a whopping 5 year deal worth $12 million.
Besides, it’s not about being poor. In the NFL salaries are as much about the money as they are a status symbol. He’s being paid less than backup money for being one of the best backups in the league.
I agree it's not Top 5 RB money
And he is a Top 5 RB.
But the fact remains that every time you see a report on how CJ is underpaid, they only talk about his base salary and not the millions he’s made in bonuses — Including the performance based bonuses that he’s collected above the 5 yr / 12 million deal.
He has a good agent.
Er what millions are you talking about?
His total deal was for $12 million. Last year he got something like an extra $1.5 million. Again, when players are referred to as being “underpaid”, it’s got nothing to do with how much money they may or may not have in the bank and everything about their relative worth in the league.
You aren't getting me
I agree he’s underpaid.
And I’m talking about the 7 million out of 12 that was guaranteed in bonus money over the first 3 years of his contract. Conveniently just shortly after receiving the last and largest of the bonuses he wants a new contract with new bonuses. That’s fine with me, his contract is front loaded, and when teams don’t like the end of backloaded contracts, they cut, so fair is fair.
But in every press release about him being underpaid they refuse to mention any bonus money whatsoever and come out with some bs like “he’s playing for less than $300,000, there are special teams players on the Panthers making that kind of money.”
It’s misleading and that’s what I’m talking about.

I'm not worried about the money
I think this situation eerily reflects the Harbaugh situation; it’s a question of fit. If we are in the neighborhood (no quasi-pun intended) then I think he signs with us.
Harbaugh will find a QB and he will succeed.
That is so true
San Francisco didn’t invest on Harbaugh to see other NFC West teams surpass them in the off-season. Baalke did say that they “wont be major players”, but that is so ambiguous at this point. He also said they will need to upgrade where one is needed.
If Nnamdi believes he is a good fit in San Francisco and wants to remain in the Bay Area he will sign with us. If not, he goes to the glamour of New York

That I am excited about just signed as you can see on the front page… Culliver and Johnson!
USC guys are usually busts but as a late pick I love it. Culliver might be a replacement for T. Ginn, especially with new kick off rule. I hope he turns into a solid CB as well.
Now they are teasing us!!!
MaioccoCSN Matt Maiocco
QB Josh Johnson reports to Bucs camp. If 49ers traded for a vet, that player would be able to practice before Aug.4. No word of trade talks.
Nate Clements
MaioccoCSN Matt Maiocco
49ers assign a “value” to every player. Been told SF wants CB Nate Clements on team, but it can’t be at his scheduled cap value of $17M.
Maiocco's newest scoop
Been told the Pacific is a bit wet this time of year. I won’t tell you by whom, since it’s so obvious you won’t ask, and I can just mail this one in and get back to refreshing comments pages on NinersNation.
Just saw that they are all signed but haven’t seen anything official

With the two sides unable to reach agreement on a paycut, the 49ers officially told CB Nate Clements they will be releasing him.
JasonLaCanfora Jason La Canfora
On Clements, to clarify, 49ers save $7.25M cash (base salary) and $15M in cap space. But I’d be surprised at this point if they get Nnamdi
enter the season with Spencer and Culliver as our one and two

More than a little
A mediocre vet and a small school 3rd round pick who projects to safety and is coming off a serious injury do not stand to improve the 24th ranked pass defense.
My bad, I was thinking of SC State (Phillip Adams)
I’m just a hot mess today apparently. The rest applies though!
They should sign some CB from the market, but I do have high hopes for Culliver. He is an athlete and reminds me a lot of Antonio Cr. body wise.
I have higher hopes for Curtis Holcomb.
He could easily wind up the nickel corner this year.

unproven but better than what they had, he did show good signs with the Eagles. I live in PA and he was respected and highly coveted by Andy Reed. I know RC and the pick are big but the Cards needed to do something of they were going to lose Larry Fitz

They should have drafted Gabbert.
Now they lose DRC, a very good corner, and a 2nd rounder.

On NFL Radio they asked what QB left Andy Reid and has performed better.
And they couldn’t name a single one. And he may of shown good signs at times, but overall his stats are not great. I don’t think he will be anything better than an average QB and that was alot to give up. He may prove people wrong but I would bet against it.

The Cards just got totally taken advantage of by the Eagles and Kolb.
He’s making way too much money and they’re giving up way too much to get him. But these aren’t normal circumstances for the Cards: they needed a QB so badly they had to do this terrible deal, especially with such limited options available. It was a good move for both teams. This is why I’m so glad Alex Smith decided he wanted to stick around. If he hadn’t, we would have been the ones having to making this, or a similar deal.
Mike Lombardi
On NFLN…. answering a question in regards to Nnamdi…. “Its my experience when a player takes this long to make his choice, he doesn’t want to play for the team that is offering the most money. He is trying to get the team he wants to play for up their price.”
So SF FO
should throw him a bone, I mean to say millions of them
Ot the Jets.... and they won't be able to do it.
He may have SF above Houston though because of his bay area ties.

Why is it hard to believe that he prefers the Jets?
I know the Niners have some things going for them, but so do the Jets. They are a better team and he would be playing across from the best CB in the game (lots of marketing potential there, I guarantee at least one SI and/or ESPN Mag cover with both Revis and Nnamdi if he signs with the Jets).

NFC South ain't shabby either
the Panthers are putrid, only beat the NFC West last year and they don’t play the NFC West this year.

No, it's not....
But the Panthers have a good enough defense… and a better head coach. My money is on the Bengals at this point unless they make some MAJOR moves.

I don't know I mean, I thought Cinci was an average team that couldn't
run the ball last year.
Carolina on the other hand, was one of the worst teams across the board.
Cinci plays Cleveland twice and the NFC West this year. They’ll get some wins I think. Check out Carolin’a schedule, they play Arizona in week 1 and then it’s hard a game that wouldn’t be a pretty big upset.

The Panthers are making moves though in the right direction
While the Bengals seem to be going the other direction.

*sigh* the only respite I take in the Patriots maneuvers is that the best team in the NFL only has about a 20% chance of winning the super bowl
I mean, the Patriots are SO much better than every other team in the NFL.

It’s obvious we need either a veteran safety or a veteran Corner or both. What options are left now that Joseph is gone?
