The 49er new Dynasty is just beyond us. First team to 10 SB's you heard it here first.

Impossible! That will not be happening! EVER! Gotta catch him first. Like Pokemon gotta catch them all.

it's always fun to think that way.....look @ what happened to the packers a few years ago.

they won w/back ups in 7 or 8 positions and should've won handily when they had their full strength back. we all know how that ended.

and now that u said that......that pretty much seals his fate!!

NFC West Looking Dangerous! Well, atleast 49ers ans Seahawks, especially the hawks if they can do they did last year.

Add in a deep threat for Kapernick's arm and they are set. Maybe Jenkins will develop for them.

Agree. If Flacco's post season showed he's worth 120 than Boldin showed he's worth at LEAST!!! 6!

Haven't really let him play yet. So could be.

And only a few years ago Seattle won that division at 7-9. Things change fast.

Amazing what good players and coaches can do.

+1, See same with Harbaugh and San Fran, built up that defense and creative play calling and gutsy moves like pulling Alex Smith.

Can only hope for the same with my Bears this year

Until the bears fix that line and actually call offensive plays and use Forte and Bush right expect the same crap as you saw last year

Run Bush on 1st down and Goal line carries
Forte on 1st-3rd in the flat or pop to the outside
Use the TE to block and or mix it up with Forte
And o yeah that guy named Brandon Marshall can spread the field easy enough

On Another note /Banghead

Profootballtalk.com reports the Lions are the "likely winners" on free agent Reggie Bush.

Bush to Detroit has been perhaps the second worst-kept secret of free agency, behind only Mike Wallace to Miami. PFT's Mike Florio reports Bush would push Mikel Leshoure for the Lions' starting job, and the two would definitely work in tandem. If the Cardinals feel they've lost out on Bush, Bruce Arians' club could begin to put a full-court press on free agent Rashard Mendenhall.

What happens if a team refuses to go under the cap $$ today. They get fined ? lose draft pix ?

What if they say they dont care we will do it anyways. What would happen ?

From Wikipedia:

The NFL's cap is a hard cap that the teams have to stay under at all times, and the salary floor is also a hard floor; penalties for violating or circumventing the cap and floor regulations include fines of up to $5 million for each violation, cancellation of contracts and/or loss of draft picks.

Hah, I just heard on the radio the Niners are looking into signing Ed Reed.

[R3P0]

Looks like Colts are Front runners for Cliff Avril

The Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson is hearing there's a "good chance" the Colts will sign free agent Cliff Avril.

Wilson acknowledges "nothing concrete yet." Our prediction on the top free-agent pass rushers at this point would be Paul Kruger to the Browns, Avril to the Colts, and Dwight Freeney to the Broncos, with Michael Bennett, Osi Umenyiora, and John Abraham still up in the air. Elvis Dumervil could soon join this market.

So what's the offensive strategy for Minnesota in 2013? Just give the ball to AP every play and hope he rushes for 2,800 yards?

Dang... 2 of the Falcons targets gone. Leaves Osi as the only one. I'd love for them to go after Michael Johnson, but his salary is too much for them to take on, especially since he's franchised.

I know. But teams can negotiate prior to the opening. There will be a flurry of announcements this evening.

Are you sure I can swear noone is allowed to negotiate right now as these players are still under contract. Right now if im correct teams have exclusive rights until 4pm today.
