Either way, Cooper is not a #2. They need to get someone there now, too.

Idk why Maclin wouldn't just take $9 mil to stay with Philly. He's not going to put up better numbers in KC, that's for sure.

I believe they drafted him because Kelly likes a guy like that in the slot. That is just the consensus from people around where I am. Perhaps they move him to the outside now, mostly because they have to, but I still think Kelly will prefer him in the slot.

Long shot. Most sane coaches wouldn't spend a premium pick on a pure slot guy. They had to get his talent on the field so they put him out there in 3 wides.

I think the number Jeremy Maclin is worried about is 11, and its followed by a lot of 0's.

I understand that and I don't necessarily blame him, but you know you will be successful in one system and chase the money instead. I'm not mad, I'm happy he's gone. Just wonder if it will be worth it to him.

Huff is explosive and maybe they like what they seen out of him. He would seem to be a good slot guy. Maybe they signed another vet like Gore to hold them over until other young guys are groomed

End of an era. Hopefully he gets inducted to the HOF.

Justin Smith to retire as well

It's a good thing the Niners have the best GM in the history of sports to replace all these guys

Willis is a religious nut if you read his Twitter

Well its a good thing they drafted Borland when there was no "Need" last year as well as Lynch.

They did well. I doubt the interior line will be as good without Smith.

Rumor is there is going to be huge news of a 49er nobody expects to not be on the team next year.

What a joke this front office is right now. Laughing stock of the league. I hope York is happy when the team is awful and he is sitting in his new stadium with pissed off fans.

It won't matter. If fans are at the stadium he's making money.

I'll be honest. I didn't think the window for the 49rs was this small. Harbaugh came out of this thing smelling like a ROSE. And stinkin' arse rich.

Definnitely not. Justin Smith was a monster of a man. Sad to see him go but I bet another team can lure him out of retirement.

Worst thing is sports is to have a terrible owner. All great organizations start at the top.

And a tyrant for a GM.

No offense to any of the rest of that D but Justin Smith is what made that whole defense great. He's why Aldon Smith looked like such a stud, not that he isn't good too, but Justin made Aldon look even better than he was/is. They WILL miss him.

Vaughn McClure And D. Orlando Ledbetter both said to expect the Falcons to be really quiet in free agency. That seems to be happening (although the Falcons are notoriously tight lipped about everything).

The Weatherspoon situation is strange. Either they were not interested in him at all or Spoon wanted to move on because the deal he's going to sign in Arizona is peanuts (probably loaded with incentives).

@Rand_Getlin: Source: LB Brooks Reed is leaning toward signing with the #Falcons when free agency opens on Tuesday.

Good first move for the Falcons. I like it.

As long as he isn't our pass rush I do as well. Would probably do fine in WLB role
