**Update Eric Wright signed to one year deal**

If you were an outsider and not a 49ers fanatic, you would see this move as another in a long line of low to NO risk signings of NFL caliber players that Baalke has pulled off. From a PR standpoint, some of us may think this is a bad move. That is totally understandable. The Niners front office and coaching staff are just doing whatever they think necessary to build a complete roster. If this local product can keep it together off the field and play well on the field, he will be a great addition. If not, no harm done.

lol greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

He's a man coverage corner who was playing out of his element in a zone system, for a team that was utterly atrocious in the secondary and had one of the worst pass rushes in the NFL last year.


I think Wright's years in Cleveland are far more indicative of his overall talent.

This is kind of stupid. Bucs were going to release him. We traded for him. Failed his physical. Bucs released him. And now we are trying to sign him again.

This time around the 49ers don't have to give up any picks, even a late one, I don't see the problem.

I just mean its embarrassing. We traded for a guy who just had a DUI then failed him. Bucs cut him, as they were going to anyway. And we go ahead and re-sign him.

Actually since he is starting on the non football injury list, I think he may have legit failed. It might have been something small enough that he couldn't pass at the time but has healed up now. DUI really doesn't figure into your job prospects at the NFL level unless your in an accident....there are tons of them yearly and nobody gets disciplined.

I don't like how they had to waive Lowell Rose to get this guy. According to Barrows, Rose was locked up in press coverage against everyone the other day in scrimmages and nobody could complete a pass on him.

Yah, I wish we got a look at Rose during the preseason, I'm not to fond of this signing too much baggage.

I guess the fact that he's a SF native might serve as motivation for him to get his life together and become a factor here. We can always hope. This is a next-year move.

I maybe not too fond of this signing, but I'm in no way hoping for him to fail I wouldn't wish that upon any 9er. Maybe he surprises us and shuts down Tavon Austin and Percy Harvin.

We do this a lot..it's not really gambling when your playing with house money.

I do hope there is a clause that says contract immediately voided if any DUIs, PEDs or anything else unseemly.
