Marcus Hudson rumored to become a Cat

[Cape Fear Cat]

Last night I spoke with someone who ought to know, who told me that 49ers DB Marcus Hudson is within days of signing with the Panthers. Obviously, there's no official confirmation, but the news came from a relative. Hudson just finished his fifth year in the NFL. The 27 year-old played for N.C. State, and recorded 21 tackles for San Francisco in 2009.

I had to google him to find out who he was. He's never started a game, but looks to be good just for special teams.

An upgrade on Wilson or Wesley though?

[KillerKat]

Wesley isnt on the team. It'll most likely be a battle between him and Marcus Walker for CB #5.

Just checked the stats on pro football focus. Hudson is a total bum in coverage and has almost no experience on defense at age 27. He did have a beastly year in special teams coverage, but do we need two gunners?

Awesome! Another player I've never heard of. Assuming about 10 players have breakout career years next year, we might win 8 games.

I'm stoked, guys!

Yes, our special teams suck badly.

Like this guy. RT @MattMaiocco CB Marcus Hudson, who 49ers did not tender as RFA, is drawing interest from Panthers, agent confirms.

Good work Cape Fear Cat, still surprised we're going to look at a 2nd PURE ST coverage guy, maybe we're actually going to have an open-competition for the starting gunner spot!?!
