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.
Forty Niners Forever 
BTW, Smith was not allowed by rule to throw to Moss. If anyone wants to chasllege this , it costs money for a link. Or try something novel, look it up.
Who said Alex didn’t want to throw to Mossy?
Anyhow, Alex Smith signed a one year deal with the Browns . . .
The TE, that is. . . .
Didn’t say he didn’t want to throw to Moss or that anyone said he didn’t want to- it was responding to the POTD. Just as the details about Morgan were in response to another dumb post..
WR Josh Morgan agrees to five-year deal with the Skins. Worth up to $12 million with $7.5 million guaranteed. Costanzo’s apparently gone as well.
For supposedly wanting to keep the team together, they sure are letting pieces fly off.
None of them want to play with Alex so they’re signing criminals and reprobates who have no choice..
Like most fans, I was fully aware that Smith wasn’t allowed under the CBA to throw to Moss, hence Harbaugh did. If you don’t get that as part of the joke, then get some humor counseling…
You obviously were unaware that Morgan is from D.C. and had had great success with Alex, no reason at all to think you know anything about the rule I cited.
It was all over the blogs and the usual writers. Look it up.
Get real, and come down off your high horse. You’re not the know it all you claim to be, not even close…
So why would you make the dumb ass remark inferring he left because of Alex…that’s not a joke, it’s just stupid.
You don’t think anything I ever say is correct, smart, or amusing, regardless of context, regardless of topic. You are consistently in love with your own opinions. Others seem to disagree often with both of those POVs. BF is quite correct in finding you have difficulty with sense of humor, which is a particular deficiency in posting on blogs, IMO. This isn’t rocket science here, nor are we solving the worlds ills. I believe you constantly attack my positions or jokes because I don’t kiss your ass. When I agree with you, I say so, often getting an insulting retort nonetheless for the trouble. Whatever. March on to your own drummer, as will I…
Well. he’s also correct in saying I don’t like you because you are negative and cynical. You’re a smart man, I would like to like you. It’s not an easy task.
Fine, perhaps we understand each other a bit better.
Onward and upward…
Looking at your response again, it’s hard to tell which of your dumb comments you are defending..
Hey, Morgan’s gone to DC, Moss is 35, Ginn is maybe gone, but if he’s still here, he has stone hands, and Crabby can’t get separation. But, look on the bright side. We still have Kyle Williams under contract…. 🙂
Kyle was a favorite here, big time. I had to point out he had a little problem- couldn’t get open.
You had to point out? Criminy. Yeah, I liked Wiliams. Hiowever, as the season went along, it was apparent that he wasn’t doing it. He’s obviously not a red-zone guys due to his size.
It isn’t that hard to figure.
I wasn’t even thinking of you. Most everyone loved him because he wasn’t Ginn. That didn’t work out too well against NY.
I liked him a lot for his speed, and that one smoke screen he ran for a TD against somebody — I can’t remember — he looked great on that run after catch. Then, he started falling, tripping over his own feet a lot, and I started noticing he’s pretty damn small, and yes, he wasn’t getting open. Did I mention he’s small. Then he F’d up those punts. What the hell was I thinking — he’s crap!…
The Costanzo non-signing and twisting in the wind has me a little perplexed. I thought he was a Harbaugh favorite, from the multiple times Harbaugh called him out for Special Teams recognition. He can’t cost that much, and STs is a key to the continuing success of the team, I would think.
To say this is not going as hoped for is not a major understatement. Perhaps there’s a known wife beater to replace Costanzo…
Cortland Finnegan CB of Titans has signed with Rams. Sheezus, the Rams are looking up the next few years with all those picks and a good HC in Fisher on board now…
Carlos Rogers reportedly has just signed with — the NINERs….
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.
