. . . and nothing out of 4949 Centennial Blvd. I’m curious as to what end the ditching of notorious weenie agent Drew (the Screw) Rosenhaus serves in the immediate future. Goldson is angling for a new big fat contract. Is Goldson really looking for a deal here? Or is he really paving the way for his departure? He did have a much better year in 2011 than at any other time during his career, but that can be attributed to the improvement of the defensive backfield in general. Rogers did much better than Clements, and Whitner did worlds better than Mays or M Lewis before him. Goldson is looking for a deal similar to Antrelle Rolle. As in 5 years, $37 million. Frankly, I don’t think the Niners go this route. They will either franchise him, or let him sign elsewhere for big money. Culliver can slide over to FS and Brock can replace him as CB. The great strides that the DBs made are drectly attributable to the vast impriovement they got from Rogers and Whitner. Which allowed Dashon to have his big year. If they are going to throw a bunch on money at someone, is it better served going to Brooks? Or will the Niners move Aldon Smith in as a 4 down guy? They’ve said as much, but I don’t completely buy that yet. Moving Haralson into Brooks’ role would not be very smart in my book, but what do I know? Goldson is still too reckless out there. Too inconsistent as well.

Still and all, I am unsure what they do (if anything) with the franchise tag. Will they dare use it on Carlos Rogers? He’d cost more than Goldson, but Rogers is on the edge of 31 and could be replaced by a guy like Brandon Carr from KC. Nothing to do now but wait and speculate . . .
