<b>UPDATE:</b> The 49ers officially put the franchise tag on Dashon Goldson. They also said they are going to work on a multi-year deal going forward.
Not much happening around 4949 Centennial Blvd. The deadline is coming up for teams to franchise tag their players. There’s talk that Dashon Goldson get tagged today. If I type this any slower, he’ll be tagged before I post this. Frankly this makes sense as he’s only going to cost $6.2 mill to tag. Rogers would cost $10.6 mill. I’m sure Hawk’s not very happy about it, but he and his new agent (CAA) can negotiate for a long term deal through July. Goldson famously turned down a 5 year/$25 million deal last year, expecting other teams to pony up the scratch. Drew the Screw apparently miscalculated, and Goldson came back here for a one-year $1,200,000 deal with his tail between his legs after numerous tweets posting his goodbyes.
Well, the situation turned a bit when Goldson had his breakout season. 6 picks, 9 passes defensed, 64 tackles and a forced fumble. He also had a key pick in the New Orleans game. I’m a bit ambivalent where it comes to Goldson. He had a great year, but I think that had a lot to do with the addition of Carlos Rogers and Donte Whitner in the backfield with him. His wild hits in the NCF Championship game still bug me, as they were reckless and not very situationally aware. At least the one where he hit Rogers was. That play was right in front of him. He needs to pick up Rogers about to make the play. Inconsistent and reckless. I’m of a mind to slide Chris Cuilliver to FS, and let Goldson take his act on the road next year.
I think the Niners plan is to let this franchise tag ride, give Culliver one more year of experience, and let Goldson go after this season. I’m still of a mind that they try to get Rogers to sign a 3 (NOT 5) year deal, get Brock more playing time, and say goodbye to Reggie Smith. Curtis Holcomb, the CB who was hurt all last year, attended every meeting, learned all he could from the coaches, and got himself heathyed up. The staff is very high on him to step in and secure a spot in the line up.
Forty Niners Forever 
So far so good Chuck. Either the Network Admins cleared it or, your option improved things?
What about the Deion influenced nonsense regarding the NYJ and Crabtree?
Goodell saw nothing wrong with that nonsense did he?
All this power being applied through the Commish is garbage.
He works for the owners. Enough said.
As for NOLA, Benson has always been off his rocker.
I’d be more excited to see the Rams get hurt by this.
Williams is new to the Staff, be nice if he got derailed somehow. Screw up their continuity a bit.
They are gonna benefit big time with the RG III offers. Only wish we could have cleaned house during the Nolan years with similar offers to trade down. I’ve always liked the option of additional picks.
Too many guys don’t pan out. Hoping Baalke will change that dynamic for us.
St. Louie will get important pieces during this Draft. We’ll have to contend with them too of course.
Plus they’ll gain more pieces than us. Let’s hope their GM isn’t too smart.
Cool.
Yeah, I forgot about the Deion thing. He fucking WORKS for the NFL Network, which is owned by the NFL, for God’s sake, and HE’S fucking telling Crabs what to do? Conflict of interest? He shoulda been fired. Then the next year, Deion gets Dez Bryant suspended for his senior season of college football. Goodell’s a hypocrite of the highest order.
He doesn’t work for the owners. He works for the big-market owners.He wouldn’t dare go up against Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, or the Maras. Mr Umbrella Benson doesn’t qualify, so he should get dinged pretty good.
Williams is going to catch a ton of shit for this. A year suspension? He’s on his way to NY for a meeting w/the security council tomorrow.
According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, the penalties are going to be ‘severe’ for NO. Mainly because everyone in the building knew about it. I’m sure every team has a some form of this going on, but NO gets to take the fall. If it was the Cowboys, it would be like the NE videotaping deal. A slap on the wrist.
And what did Roger do to Jerry when the greedy dirtbag sold SB seats he couldn’t deliver?
All a bag of media spin. This League makes billions, comes down to the almighty dollar for Roger.
Be nice to see NOLA get whacked but, I’m not holding my breath.
Be nicer to see Williams get the collar.
Yeh, Williams is meeting with League Council Jeff Pash and the Security Officials.
Hope he does become the scapegoat.
Likely comes to big $$$ Fines for NOLA and members of the Staff perhaps, they were aware of what was taking place apparently.
Wonder what the Bounty was for taking out Payton on the sideline?
Friendly fire wasn’t it?
What goes around…..
