2012 Free Agency: Stanford Routt adds to deep cornerback class

This isn't so much an indictment of Stanford Routt as it is a reflection of the insane contract the Oakland Raiders handed out, and their salary cap problems. At least the Bucs...
2011 49ers Grades: Ahmad Brooks

A Look At 2012 Free Agents For The Houston Texans

A Look At Chris Myers And His Contract Negotations, Or How His Deal Won't Break Houston's Cap

I'm working on a feature about the 49ers offseason over at SB Nation Bay Area, but in the meantime, I thought I'd get up a shorter post for discussion here. I got into it with nocal81 on Twitter the other day about the 49ers and Raiders offseason. He ranked the Raiders at the bottom of the barrel,...
49ers Free Agents: Compensatory Draft Picks & Blogger Perspectives
This past week was a fairly busy week for the 49ers as they signed up a whole host of players and got into gear at training camp with the veterans finally getting to take part. Over the last few days we ran a series of posts called Player X: A Team Y Blogger Perspective. The 49ers added a host of...
