Didn't he go to Cal? I would not be mad at all if we signed him. No disrespect to Aaron Banks who could be really good, but I'd like as much certainty as possible with the OL this year.

Mine too, a stud but it's scary that most of us Niner fans are shell shocked that every time there is a good player released or a good player that's rumored to be traded all we can do is hope the rams cards or Seahawks don't get them. We know the niners won't.

At least they have a young mobile non-rapey qb to get them out of jams. Oops, wrong team.

The Steelers would not release him if they felt he had a chance of coming back after ankle surgery. When you have the same surgery three times for the same problem, it is likely time to give up and put your college education to work.
