Update: Evans Signs with Niners

[The Goat]

Well the bottom line is that aside from Daniels, who i figure we'll always be able to re-sign if we want, the rest our our LDE candidates are pretty paltry. Most are really smallish w/ the exception of...

say hello to Buzbee... w/ a name like that I kind of understand the wise-ass smirk.

I think Orakpo can play LE. He may only be 265 lbs now, but he's real strong. Taylor was only 240 and I think Haynesworth will be on that side too now.

Welp, I guess we go after Suggs

Silly Buzbee-san. Georgetown is where you go to play Basketball not Football.

If it's true that Evans signed with SF, then this the kind of shit that makes me say that the Giants FO is better than ours. Why the **** didn't we sign him earlier?

Well think about it. We bring in AH to get up the middle to help out the ends. Then we cut JT and don't sign Evans. Brilliant

Not too surprising. I know we're all disappointing the overachiever isn't returning (and it probably only further confirms that Blache's personal fave, Phillip Daniels, is returning) but a) you had to figure after we let him test the market we weren't going to make a big push for him, if he wanted to return he would and b) no one is the least bit concerned/curious that only team made a true bid for him?

I'm happy for him though. Good luck in Frisco with Damon Huard manning the other side.

Yeah, brilliant bring back a 36 yo end in Daniels. I hope Jackson, Buzbee, Wilson come up big. This smells like Orakpo being drafted.

I think the more frustrating aspect is that we'll never really get any idea what the strategy or thinking was. Like others have said on here we haven't heard the FO talk about any FA DE so the two likelihoods are 1) we grab Daniels on the cheap and try to get through the season w/ him our underwhelming backups or 2) we use a draft pick to get a starter and it would probably have to be our first pick of the draft 13 or maybe 20 in a trade scenario, which means we're passing on starters for OT and LB.

For the same reason the Giants weren't interested in him?
