The 49ers invited Randy Moss for a workout this morning, and promptly signed him this afternoon. No details on money yet, but I’m sure it’s incentive-laden, as he didn’t play a down last year, and had some troubles in his last stints with NE, Tennessee, and Minnesota in 2010. Randy has a very strange affliction known as don’t-care-itis. It can strike at any time, and usually leaves baffled and pissed off teammates and coaches in his wake. He still likely has decent speed, and his size is still impressive. Frankly, I think this has more to do with getting a deep target for Alex Smith. And the Niners showing Smith that, hey, we’re getting you a new shiny weapon. And I also see Smith signing before the 1:00 pm PDT deadline tomorrow.
What COULD happen is I still think Seattle may come in with a big offer to Smith should he hit the free agent market. Smith and the 49ers keep saying how they are in agreement with everything, but the deal ain’t done. And Smith could very well take less to go with the Hawks. Spite? Long-held animosity? Still pissed at Teflon Mike? Who knows? Until the deal is done, he’s still unsigned. It bothers me some, because the alternative is either a very raw Cappy, or someone like Josh Johnson. A fair-to-poor replacement. I would hate to see it come down to that, but no one knows what is on either side of the table at this point money (and guarantee) wise. We’ll see soon enough.
Costanzo to the Bears…
3 years, $31 mill for Rogers
OK, if Smith doesn’t sign, who are the QBs who will do better? Better is simple- the Super Bowl. There is no other standard now.
Well, a lot of people think anybody but Alex. The obvious deal is to get Josh Johnson. Will he be better? Don’t know, but Harbaugh knows him well. It’s a huge risk in my book to let this drag on with Alex. Who;s out there? Ortron? Campbell? McNabb? Nothing but shit. Flynn is the only guy who might be good..
The Niners are sure spending on the defensive side of things.
On offense they’ve spent for Moss and . . . . . . . . . . .
Defense first Chuck. Keeps the game manageable.
Where would Brady be if he had one?
We’re going about it right, get value and wait for the chips to be discarded after the replacements arrive.
