San Francisco 49ers Thread
Its hard to read into what is going on.
It could be that all these meetings are standard or it could be something big brewing. I guess we'll have to wait and see but I'm keeping my original prediction that Nolan will be brought back. However, expect them to fire most offensive assistants, Hostler, Cignetti, Harris, Hoepner(sp?), and Warhop come to mind. I could see them keeping Sullivan(WR coach) as he is highly regarded around the league.
A name that would be interesting for Offensive Coordinator: Brian Billick.

It appears that Billick wants to be a head coach next season, so scratch the coordinator tag.
Some team might take a chance, others will be skeptical because of the lack of offense and failure to secure a future QB during his tenure as head coach.

HUGE update from Santa Rosa Press Democrat's Matt Maiocco:
1:41 p.m. PST--Certainly nothing is official yet, but the rumblings I'm hearing seem to suggest that Nolan will be back next season.

Re: San Francisco 49ers Thread
Word is Rams might be cutting loose Isaac Bruce.
Although he is 36, he would be better than Darrell Jackson. And he knows Martz system.

While he did have a better season than Darrell Jackson, Bruce has really lost a few steps. I think this has a good possiblity of happening.

I think Ryan is/will be a better QB than Brohm. But other than that, a good set of rankings.

That doesn't look like Angel Villalona.
Moving on to the 49ers free agent recap through the first week of free agency:
- Re-signed QB Shaun Hill to 3 year, $6M with $2M guaranteed. Escalators push total deal to 3 years, $11.5M
- Re-Signed Isaac Sopoaga to 5 year, $20M with $8M guaranteed
- Contract Extension to RB Michael Robinson till 2012
- Signed DE Justin Smith to 6 year, $45M with $20M guaranteed
- Signed RB DeShaun Foster to 2 year, $1.8M
- Signed WR Isaac Bruce to 2 year, $6M
- Signed QB J.T. O'Sullivan to 1 year deal
- Signed ILB Dontarrious Thomas to 2 year deal
- Signed RS Allen Rossum to 1 year, $800,000
- Lost G Justin Smiley to Dolphins, 5 years, $25M with $9M guaranteed
- Lost OT Kwame Harris to Raiders, 3 years, $16M
- Notable Free Agents available (SF) - G Larry Allen, DE Marques Douglas
Grade: C+
Exception of Smith, nothing really flashy here. A lot of these signings improve the 49ers depth. Sopoaga is athletic enough for the move to End. He's a big, wide body that is nice to have in the 3-4 DL. Justin Smith, if he plays DE in the 3-4, is a good run defender that can hold his own at the POA. He could use his quickness from that spot to get a handful of sacks. If he moves to rush end OLB, he will need to drop weight to about 270-275. He is sure getting paid like he will stand up but this is issue worth watching over the next couple weeks if they happen to re-sign Douglas. Bruce will help the younger guys learn about the offense and he could likely produce enough to be the leading receiver for SF in 08. Thomas is a nice sleeper signing as he will move to a scheme that scouts think will suit him quite well. Expect him to take the RILB job. The OL depth took a big hit.

This needs updating:
They signed WR Bryant Johnson for 1 year, $2M.
Solid move and my prediction of Darrell Jackson(few pages back, I think) being in jeopardy came true as he was released after the signing of Johnson.
