49ers are the reported front-runners for Torrey Smith

[Daeavorn]

All great points... I just really hope this is the year, after many years of neglect, that we throughly address the WR position within our means.

And I would love to do what the Colts have done with WR, but that's why I feel it's so important to address it the best we can in FA, because I dont ever see us drafting 4-5 wrs over a two to three year period.

 

I don't think this is super likely, but I can see them banking on Corey Brown developing if they can't sign anyone in FA.

That would be horrible. I think Philly can be a great slot in his best possible outcome.

That would be the typical Panthers approach, but I sure as hell hope that's not the route we go.  Hope Brown develops, fine.  But, if we plan on just penciling him in as the #3 WR... good lord.

[cardiackat88.]

His talent will be completely wasted there, so long for his career.

You didn't really think we were going to sign Torrey Smith did you? Of so, you haven't been paying attention the past few months.

Nah. Just wishful thinking.

Why would any WR wanna play with Kaepernick, he is a joke of a QB

Money! 49ers wanted to pay Cobb 12 million a year. They want to overpay for a WR. We never had a chance with the crazy numbers out there.

Because MONEY talks and that something DG and JR part with very seldom. The sooner they learn sometimes you have to pay to play the sooner we go from mediocre to great.

I like how every single year the niners are able to make multiple nice FA signings and we are constantly talking about cap hell and saving money. Eventually you have to pay to win and help your QB.

But don't worry guys. We have Stephen Hill!

Helps that the Niners have no cap problems.

Fwiw, neither of the teams in the Superbowl made big offensive splashes in free agency.  Well, the patriots did get Lafell. 

 

We don't need to make big splashes to be a winning team.  We just to make the right little splashes and draft picks.

Revis

He said offensive splashes.

Aaron Wilson reporting that Smith to 49ers is basically a done deal "barring unforseen snags."

Revis 

 

Which is why I said offensive.
