As I've said before, if Manningham can recover and come back to be a solid #5 WR for the 49ers this season, I'll be ecstatic.

It of course makes sense to count on a guy coming off two incredibly severe injuries....

Amen and I wouldn't even rush that. I'd let him heal up all year if possible and work him in towards the end of the season. As of now, it sounds like it's Boldin and AJ with Williams/Patton in the slot. With VD and McDonald, we won't run many 3+ WR sets anyhow. It will be most 2 WR and 2 TE sets. So let's pray there are no more injuries to the WR group (esp.) ad let Manningham heal right.

I agree. I don't count on Manningham for much, if anything, this season. This is his final year under contract and if it looks like they need roster room, it would not surprise me at all if they give him an injury settlement and release him. He may have been a #2 on this team prior to injury last season but that is not saying much. This team has been weak at WR for years. Even when Owens was still here there was never a solid #2 behind him. Tai Streets anyone?

interesting to see Snyder at LG and Looney at RG?? It should be the other way around. Looney lined up at backup LG all year last year, and L.Davis played RG.

Wow, $6.423M under the cap right now (minus the Reid contract). I wasn't expecting THAT much. Are we going after an unexpected FA WR now or signing some more internally?

why would we sign a vet WR, when we have Williams, Boldin, Jenkins, Patton, and Lockette? (plus Manningham)

i think they are clearing space just to sign reid, have some left over for possible injury emergency and put some in the bank to deal with future big signings down the road. i am pretty sure they did not clear space just so they can spend it on some wide out,, besides there is no one out there worth anything in my opinion. Now if we have another injury or someone like jenkins clearly does not pan out in pre season,, then we have a different discussion
Originally posted by NCommand:i really think they are ok with just putting all the kids into the mix and letting them duke it out. Now if kyle williams would not have been ready to go for the first game then you may have to sign someone but for now, untill we see what we got from the kids, esp jenkins, stay the course. Your comments about who is out there is huge cuz I do not think there is anyone out there . i refuse to entertain any miss lloyd or owens blather! besides i contend moore will shock everyone and emerge as a huge shock for us, like willie mcgee was in 1976 for us

That's my contention as well...but Reid won't cost much at all and we should have quite a bit left over. I agree we may be stockpiling cap room to perhaps, sign someone internally but we can't ignore we've also gone after 5+ WR's beyond Boldin (Lockette, Moore, Osgood, Carswell, Collie, etc.) this off season. I also think, like you noted, if we do go after and sign another FA WR, it most likely won't be a "big name"...not sure of the point though but if they are going to add more veteran competition, now is the time; they have to learn our playbook STAT!
I honestly don't even know who's out there...what's going on in NY with Hicks/Cruz? Who else could be a viable upgrade and potential starter of significant role-player opposite Boldin?
