Mike Mitchell (’13), Ted Ginn (’13), Cotchery (’14), Tiquan Underwood (’14), Antoine Cason (’14) and Joe Webb (’14) were signed in the second week. Chase Blackburn (’13), Domenik Hixon (’13) and Ed Dickson (’14) didn’t sign until April.

Nice read. You would think that we would sign at least one mid level free agent like Torrey smith but I keep thinking in the back of my mind that we will only sign cheap free agents and save money to extend players.

 

I'm not sure Smith is still 'mid-range' after seeing what Randall Cobb got.

 

Not that Cobb isn't worth a lot of money, but I hate when the market gets inflated.

Kaepernick learning to throw with touch with Kurt Warner

 

 

"We had some guys come out from the office playing in my corporate charity event, and there were a couple of times where I went, 'Whoa! Was that a little bit of touch I just saw?" Warner said of Kaepernick's performance this week while speaking at a Super Bowl 50 promotional appearance during the NFL Annual Meeting, per the USA Today. "Colin laughed and told me, 'We're not out here working for nothing.'

"The situation forced him to throw with a little more touch. He couldn't throw it as hard as maybe he wanted to with those corporate guys.
