49ers will compete for WR Drew Bennett
According to Michael Silver of SI.com, the San Francisco 49ers are still one of many teams that will compete for wide receiver Drew Bennett's services when free agency begins at 9pm Pacific Time tonight.
The other interested teams include the New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders and New York Giants. The Tennessee Titans, Bennett's original team, are also expected to try and resign Bennett.
"I'm up for it," Bennett said. "I'm gonna play my ass off for someone."
Last season, Bennett, who is entering his 7th NFL season, lead the Titans in receiving with 46 catches for 737 yards and 3 touchdowns. In 2004, Bennett had a career year with 80 receptions for 1247 yards and 11 touchdowns.

General manager John Lynch revealed that San Francisco 49ers defensive end Kentavius Street won't be fined for his hit on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. This past weekend, the 49ers defender blew through Saints rookie guard Cesar Ruiz on his way to leveling the quarterback, only to draw a roughing-the-passer penalty.
Brees ended up leaving the game with what was later diagnosed as a collapsed lung and fractured ribs.
Any fan who watched the play saw a properly executed sack from Street. However, the 6-foot-2 and 290-pound defender packs a wallop with each hit.
"[The penalty was] a shame for a couple of reasons," Lynch said Wednesday on KNBR's Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks show. "Number one, I think it was a very pivotal point in
