Dashon Goldson’s grandmother apparently is weighing in on her grandson’s contract impasse with the 49ers.
Dashon Goldson @thehawk38“@msrosecooking: @sf49ers showing no loyalty to my baby, @thehawk38 (Dashon Goldson ). Any team will be lucky to get him.”>Tell em grandma!
Haven’t we travelled this road before? Goldson bid his twitter goodbyes 2 years ago to us forgiving and unforgiving fans, as Dashon struck out to find his pot of gold. Unfortunately for him, the gold turned out to be brass, and he came back and meekly signed a 1 year 2 million dollar deal after turning down his 5 year/$25 mill deal that set him on the road to perdition anyway. After a couple pro-bowl seasons, and once again feeling his oats, Dashon wants something in the range of the Tim (?) Waddell (I know, he’s the weird-ass Olympic runner) deal, and 5 years, $40 million.
Uh, no. It ain’t gonna happen Dashon. Some people think he’s a top 5 safety.Yes he has his moments of being a disruptive force, but he also has a lot of brain-dead ones as well. Bad penalties, jumping routes, and the oft-occurring getting burned deep. The playoffs were fairly galling, but that was a system wide failure of not enough pressure, and the entire DB corps getting toasted.
The 49ers have already come out and said they would not franchise him. Not too surprising as that would force the Niners to pay him $7.1 mill. It also leads me to believe that if they won;t franchise him for $7, they won’t offer him a long term deal for $8 / year. The 49ers are likely in the 5/30 range. A little rich for my blood, but I suppose it would do. The question is, does Dashon really think someone will pay him more than that? Frankly, the Niners could very well say we got the same deal from 2 years ago, skippy 5/25. Take it or hit the road, Jack. Harsh? Sure. Mean? Yeah, I guess. Know what? Tough shit. Dashon isn’t Patrick Willis. Or NaVorro Bowman. He’s replaceable. Moreso than those guys. And, like Baalke said, we can’t pay everyone. Plus, with all their leverage in this upcoming FA period and draft, they have about 20 different options to choose from.
So, the same thing will happen that happened two years ago. Dashon finds a lukewarm market (watered down even more by the rookie cap, which deflates a lot of the FA deals) and few suitors. If he’s lucky, the Niners will give him a 3/18 deal. And he’ll take it.
Forty Niners Forever 
I think we have to get two young safeties this year, preferably through the draft – but I would not want to start both in 2013. Someone back there needs to know what the fuck is going on and make the defensive calls. So I’d acquiesce to having either Woodson or Reed for one year, to play FS, make those calls, and be a coach on the field. The alternative is keeping Whitner. Reed and Woodson are old but still playing fairly well. Whitner was awful last year. By 2014, though, I expect both kids to be playing.
I’m all over that thought Grumpy.Been feeling the same thing.I’ll take Ed Reed over Woodson anyway of the week+Sunday.Then you grab Jonathan Cyprien S ,a guy like Philip Thomas,Matt Elam or any other big hitters with size and Reed will help mentor these guys.
Might even now take a flyer on Nadi at CB.Work out a 1-2yr at most deal and under our coaching he could possibly bounce back as a shutdown corner again and really help out Tarrell Brown as well.Who I think played as good if not better then anyone else in the secondary last year.
Well we difinetly need to get some SS CB added.
Godson just divined for 5yrs with Tampa.
Damm Between Goldson and Mark Barron,that’s the some heavy wood.Some Poor Reciever may get killed next year.
Niners signed Chiefs DT Dorsey
My sources were right.
He should be roughly a replacement for RJF, with Ian Williams penciled in to replace Soap. Now if we can draft a couple of big mean SOBs to rotate in, we’ll be in better shape next year.
Man the feeding frenzy continues!!
Adding a Stud on the DL in Dorsey,real great addition. Can play right side and NT.Former 1st rd pick,#5 I believe.
Dorsey is exactly the kind of guy the 49ers need. Can play right now, has experience, and is motivated to play well because he basically washed out in KC. In addition, despite one year of health concerns, Dorsey has been relatively healthy in the NFL. This is a good move. Get him into the rotation, have Tomsula coach him up, and he’ll start making plays. Probably more than Soap. He’s only 300 pounds, so I see him being more apart of the DE rotation than the NT in a 3/4, but like Grump and others have talked about, we don’t use a straight 3/4 often. Dorsey’s a nice addition. Don’t know the terms of the deal, but can’t imagine we overpaid for him.
I’m not going to get too giddy about Dorsey. He is a guy who basically underachieved and flopped in KC. He gives us a body for the rotation, particularly if the draft board does not yield us enough DL help this year. He is insurance against having to reach for a DE, in other words. Now maybe Tomsula can spin straw into gold and jump start his career, and maybe he can’t. But not having to reach to fill immediate holes lets us take, if not the overall BPA, then at least the BPA in an area where we have clear need.
Would I rather have Jenkins or Canty? Sure. But Dorsey is exactly the kind of guy the 49ers can get more out of. Carlos Rogers, Brooks and Whitner were all cast offs. I betcha Dorsey has found a home. I’m not giddy or overly thrilled, but the move makes sense.
Yeah it does makes sense. It’s low risk, low probability of hitting the jackpot, but there’s always the chance. If he is not helping, you cut him and you’re only out a presumably modest signing bonus. If it works out, you at least replace RJF as a reliever on the line, with the small chance he finally plays like the Fifth Overall pick he once was. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I’d still like to see the 49ers use a high pick on DT…. and then a later round DT as a project. I’m not thrilled about Ian Williams….
The defense still needs two DLs, one OLB, one ILB, one CB and two safeties. Offense a WR, a TE, a T, a QB, and throw in a K.
That’s 12 guys, that you want to keep. A FA safety makes no difference because he would be replacing Whitner in my mind, not Goldson. One rookie safety needs to start. But figure one of those gets filled with an unexpected FA. That leaves 11, out of 14 draft picks. Use the other three on fliers – guys with huge upside, who were fuck ups. Cut them if you need to – these are lottery ticket guys, high reward or busts. If your fliers make the team, they can push off marginal talent or rookies.
With all the picks we have this year, our draft strategy can include some risk. From the third or fourth round on, we should look to take some fliers on guys who have the talent but have been fuck ups in some way. I would take three or four guys like that. If you have to cut them, no big deal. But take guys with the athleticism to be special if they get their head together.
First day of camp, have them and only them come to a special meeting. Have Alex Boone talk to them about last chances. Then have Harbs get up, look each one in the eye, and say, “I’ve got a 53-man roster penciled out in my head… and NONE of you fuckers are on it. I expect to cut you all…
“If you want to change that, you’d better be prepared to get your sorry asses out on that field every day and prove to me why I should keep you. You ain’t on scholarship any more. SHOW me what you can do… or expect to be bagging groceries somewhere come October.”
Grumpy, that doesn’t seem like Harbaugh’s MO. More like this guy:
Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces, I don’t give a fuck, I’ll jump down there and kill all you fuckers. I’ll kill half of you with one hand and the rest of you will kill yourselves trying to get away from me. Welcome to Special Forces selection – Bob Howard.
I don’t know who Bob Howard is but he fires me up…. HIT SOMEBODY!!!
I’d rather we found a way to keep Goldson. Not my favorite player but certainly one of the top few safeties in the league. Any of the old guys looking for a retirement job won’t be half as good here.
RJF’s strength is his ability to backup any spot on the DL. Sopoaga will be harder to replace. What’s Aubrayo Franklin doing these days?
Hopefully, his name is Ian Williams now. If not, we’d better hope the guy we get in the draft is ready to play this year!
I like the Boldin trade. Dorsey’s a warm body. Not expecting much. Goldson got overpaid, IMO. I was also wrong about Welanie Dropper. Didn’t think other teams would cough up so much. I still see us drafting DL, OLB, S/CB and WR with the first 4 picks, depending on any further whealin’ dealin’.
Those fuckin’ Patriots….. just when you think they’re done and no longer competing, losing Welker, they sign Danny Almondwhat’shisnuts. Almondwhat’shisnuts might be better than Welker…. younger, more injured, but didn’t have Brady throwing him the football. My guess is it’s an upgrade. I can’t wait for the Patriots’ run to be over….
The Incas or the Mayans or the Aztecs…. can’t remember which one…… but one of those insane bastards used to play a death match of soccer/basketball – games would last all day and sometimes two days. The losing team would be sacrificed. Now that’s a spectator sport. My sense is, and I know I’m going the long way around the barn (it’s an art form really) but my sense is that Baalke could be playing an Aztecian death match against another GM for who could draft the better wide receiver and Baalke would lose ten out ten times, which really doesn’t make much sense if the loser gets sacrificed the first game, but you’re a little nuts like I am. You’re pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down… and you should be embarrassed.
ElamChunky….Guess Tampa shot your Goldson theory to shreds.Giving him 5/41mil 22 Guaranteed .HE WILL TAKE IT,JUST NOT FROM THE NINERS!!
There are teams out there ready to spend and teams looking to unload.
Crazy stuff right now.Now the Niners are interested in Asomugha like I mentioned this earlier.Hey why not? a big corner there looking for(a possible still shutdown corner cheaper then Revis) who could still mentor Tarill Brown who IMO could turn into another shutdown guy.Still want those Safety’s. in the draft like my guy Cyprien, Thomas,Elam,Amerson,or in thea perfect world Vaccaro & Cyprien!!!! That Secondary would be terrific.
Baalke may shock us all still on Draft day,he’s very unpredictable. as we all know.But we certainly have alot of ammo to use.
Hey wait,we did get Glen Dorsey the football player right?
Not the Orchestra leader Glen Dorsey or Tommy?
Whewww..that scared me a second.That would be a Raiders move,thank god our Niners are alot smarter.Which doesn’t take much,since the Raiders will always a be the laughingstock of the NFL.
I don’t want to see the 49ers pickup another free agent or make another trade. NO MORE FREE AGENTS. NO MORE TRADES! Just focus on the draft. Coach ’em up.
Sure, guys like Greg Jennings, Woodson and Nnamdi are big names, and you’d think – “great, we’re solid there for a year,” if we acquired one. But we wouldn’t be. Woodson was injured last year. Nnamdi wouldn’t tackle or go over the middle for Castilla. Greg Jennings spent the year in the studio shooting Old Spice commercials that really aren’t that funny. But when he runs on the field in the bed you can see his wife’s jugs bounce…. so there’s that. But what the hell was I writing about…. oh yeah. No more free agents. We should, however, be discussing free agent cheerleaders.
Actually….. one name just popped up…. L. Robinson. I can’t spell his first name off the top of my head. It’s something like Laurent? What a gay name. Anyway. He had a big first half two years ago in Dallas, didn’t get re-signed, then dropped off the radar last year in Jacksonville because of two words…… Alex Gabbert. But I digress upon a digression. Robinson might be a good, late, nobody, cheap pickup. But after that, I swear, no more free agents!
I need to call you an idiot on a daily basis Spitblood. Robinson was cut because he had 4 concussions last year and probably should retire if he wants to live a functional life.
The Forty Niners will sign at least 3 to 5 more free agents.
As for Asomugha do you know what your talking about? He had as many tackles as the best Forty Niner cornerback and more passes defensed last season. For the right price he would be a great addition.
I love me some Touchdown Tommy. It’s flattering, really.
Bitches, Bitches, Bitches!!! I see everyone flocked to a place where you can all be delusional agree with one another, with no word from the real world.
Chuck, what happened to your buddy Alex Smith? All these people followed you here not knowing that you blindly supported Alex Smith since 2005? Yeah I definitely want to hear this guys opinion on the 49ers!!! LOL!!!
What are you all Kap Supporters now? Let’s go gangster and try to win that way? Hell Alex might of sucked but at least he had class! With Kap you all must now learn gangsta language. You might as well start rooting for the Raiders, we’re now a carbon copy.
“You dumb mug, get your mitts off the marbles before I stuff that mud-pipe
down your mush – and tell your moll to hand over the mazuma.”
We go from Montana and Young to the Tattoo Parlor, thug as you now enjoy rolling with Kap and his Homies?
Del, you have a lot more to worry about than Alex Smith, because Kap and the 49ers will never recover from choking in the Big Game.
Go ahead Chuck delete me, “I’ll Be Back!”

Damn Greg?
You sure showed us huh?
Tats and good football go together now days.
Raider Football is an oxymoron.
Alex is gone, just like JaMarcus.
Oh wait, JaMarcus didn’t get traded, he’s not playing football anymore.
With all the history you have over there in Oakland I wouldn’t talk.
What big game excitement did you bring since Chuckie dismantled you?
Oh wait, Callahan sabotaged that game.
You have Carson Palmer and DHB.
Oh wait, DHB is looking for work?
You still have Rolando McLain. Maybe?
Run DMc is a stud, when he laces them up 6 times a Season.
Wanna deal for some good football players?
Oh wait, you don’t have any Picks left from all those other blockbuster deals Al made.
Raider Football.
Go figure?
Not much football being discussed on the Raider Blog Greg?
i wonder why?
Raider Football.
OXYMORON.
Jesus Christ. What the fuck is going on with this one? Bath salts? Gotta be bath salts.
Unbunch your panties and join the rest of us in the 21st century, Norman Rockwell. Kaepernick’s about as far from being a “thug” as one can get. He’s a favorite among Christian groups and spent his free time in college speaking at churches. I guess it’s not the wholesome locker room environment of Charles Haley waving his dick at Joe Montana screaming “you know you want it” but it’s hardly San Quentin.
NJ…One look at that putrid bowl-hair cut of Al’s dumbass son Mark is all anyone needs to know about Raider Football.
Don’t the Raiders need to cut all 53 (Losers) players as well to get under the Cap?
Bucky Larson:Born to be a Star Alleykat.
Raider Football. Where every NFL Sunday is Halloween.
The Black Hole. The Eye Patch. The Autumn Wind.
Whole lot of history over there.
Ancient History.
Hell at least the Raiders didn’t put a Gangster, Thug in at QB! I understand that your brain is programmed to accept anything but the 49ers with all their past “Winning With Class ”Moments, for them to now be the first franchise to put a guy who looks like he just got paroled behind center, is a travesty no matter how you try an cover it up.
It’s cool, all I’m saying if you accept it please don’t say another word about the Raiders Image. Because our very own image has gone down the toilet and it’s night and day when you compare Montana or Young to the Original Gangster Kap.
Gangster?
How many thugs show up in the Black Hole on Sundays Greg?
You need all those costumes so you can hide your faces.
OK for you to talk image to us?
What image have you ever had?
Don’t like a rebuttal, don’t throw down Greg.
Do a little research on Kaepernick.
You just might find out that the kid has more going for him than the ink he uses on himself.
He may have lost a SB but guess what?
He played in 10 Pro games and almost pulled it off.
Can the speech Greg. You bring garbage, you get garbage in return.
Bottom line Greg.
The 9ers put a QB at QB.
You still haven’t found one.
So, to your point, don’t accept a cheap imitation at QB.
Bad for business.
Carson might be a squeaky clean PR symbol but guess what?
He hasn’t won squat.
“Hell at least the Raiders didn’t put a Gangster, Thug in at QB!”
Really? You think JaWalrus got his “purple drank” from the local Wallgreen’s? Carson Palmer was a U$C party boy and Terrelle Pryor got kicked out of Ohio State for trading game memorabilia for credit at… wait for it… A TATTOO PARLOR!
Like I said it’s cool, if you want to hang out with Kap and his Homie, Thugs down at the Tattoo Parlor, instead of defending a guy who represents our franchise with dignity, knock yourself out. Only remember Class like Rogers, Brady, Eli will always win over a wannabe gangster who thinks only of himself.
Look on the bright side think about the new breed of criminal fans Kap will bring to the stick. They’ll give many people new jobs with all their drinking, doing drugs, fighting, vandalizing and stealing girl’s purses. Tattoos and a Kap Jersey goes together like Chocolate cookies and milk!
Yeah while Montana was preparing to win the Super Bowl, we had a thug thinking about his next tattoo and his Tee Shirt Line, great just great!
With Kap, we need to now let that sissy Red and Gold Color go, Black and Blue baby like, Schlitz Malt Liquor! Del loves that shit!
GO CRIMINALS!
Way to judge a book by it’s cover Greg.
I have tattoos too. No one calls me a thug.
The new breed of criminal fans all got their collective starts in life from the original breeders.
The Oakland Raiders.
Original NFL Thugs.
Kaep has a Charity.
He has a pet tortoise too.
Apparently you have issues with tattoos.
Get over it.
When you have some football to discuss, go somewhere where other Raiders Fans congregate.
Probably on a street corner near a liquor store would be my guess.
Dignity and Class?
From a Raider Fan?
Again.
OXYMORON.
While Raiders QBs were preparing for the SB the Team died of old age Greg.
Don’t tell anyone.
Just win baby.
Yes, all these kids with their tattoos and their hippity hop music and iPhone internet gizmos! What happened to the days when men were men and coffee cost ten cents a gallon and a man could slap his wife in public without fear of getting arrested? Now it’s all baggy pants and tattoos and scary, scary minorities! GET US BACK TO MAYBERRY, GREG!
FlyingV68!
Happy days are here again. I’m fucking tingly with joy.
Flying V!!!!!! Calling Kaep a thug really, really, really is an awesome troll. I so want to bite….
Hollow points. When you care enough to use the very best…
LMAO!!!!
Raiders should be pitied. If they win a couple of games this next season it will be a major accomplishment.
Hell, keeping their players out of lockup would be a major accomplishment for those punks.
