That's a heavy hitter right there.

Yu was the CFO of FB and Youtube. Stanford grad, HBS grad.

Awesome, Baalke earned his rights to be GM this year, first he got Harbaugh, then the draftees, and lastly free agents.

Now lets see how we structure new deals for our free agent re-signs and additions.

Amen to that AB83Rules. I'm hopeful we can keep the whole crew together. Heck from the sounds of things we might. You know Alex will bend on the contract. He just seems that kind of guy. Rogers already said there is some wiggle room on his end. Then Goldson even says he'd be shocked not to be there. Call me optimistic but I think he wasn't just talking about being tagged. That would have sounded more negative. I think he will work something out too.

I'm pretty sure both guys know how much the Niners want to pay them. so if they are in the same ball park all it takes is some fine tuning to get the deals done. With rogers I think it's more about contract length them money.

congrats to Baalke

It's always great to be a 49er fan, but this is making it that much better. Keep up the good decisions, Jed!

Now sign Harbaugh for life.

He just signed last year to be the GM. Isn't it a bit soon to be extending him already, they should at least make him prove himself for a couple of seasons.
