Eric Reid wants 49ers to re-sign Donte Whitner
Starting tomorrow, unrestricted free agents get to converse with any team they like, not just the teams they played for in 2013. What’s that you say? Teams have probably been reaching out quietly to all sorts of free agents, even though doing so is against the rules? Man, the cynicism I have to deal with. […]

3.5K24Trent Baalke’s type: potential free agents the 49ers could target
It’s no longer a secret that Trent Baalke loves to draft guys with long arms. Baalke and the 49ers also have a type when it comes to free agents. They’re never in on the top guys, the players that get obscenely rich due to bidding wars between several desperate (and often foolish) teams. So you […]

Donte Whitner lashes out at NFL.com over free agent rankings
Donte Whitner is widely thought of as one of the top unrestricted free agent safeties on the market. With the NFL’s salary cap set to exceed $132 million in 2014, something Whitner has noted by retweeting Pro Football Talk’s story on the matter, this could be a lucrative offseason for Mr. Hitner. Chris Wesseling and […]

2.1K149ers could be close to deals with Whitner, Boldin
The best way for the 49ers to slap a silencer on this Jim Harbaugh story, at least temporarily, is by making a feel-good signing. According to a couple trusted agents of the local media world, there may be two such contract extensions coming soon. First, what we already know to be true. Craig Dahl has […]

Top three teams of the Jim Harbaugh era
Since being installed as head coach, Jim Harbaugh has led the 49ers to three straight playoff berths, including two trips to the NFC Championship game and one to the Super Bowl. Though they have fallen short of football’s ultimate prize, they have not disappointed — in terms of competitive value, at least. Each year, the […]

Donte Whitner wants to retire with the 49ers, but they’d have to re-sign him first
Somehow the last few days morphed into “Extensions Week” on BASG, which seems to be what happens during the brief window when the local football and baseball teams are in offseason mode at the same time. Bay Area Duck Guy requested this at the end of yesterday’s BASGcast, so today we’re going to explore the […]

Despite what some might say, 49ers’ championship window is still wide open
The 49ers’ 2013 season ended in the worst possible way on Sunday. A lot of questions face this team as the players clean out their lockers and the front office prepares for the upcoming draft rather than the Super Bowl. Will they lose Greg Roman, Vic Fangio or Jim Tomsula? Is the Frank Gore era […]

4.2K21Examining some of the more questionable things said by Richard Sherman and his brother
Richard Sherman tipped away the game’s final pass, which lead to a NFC Championship-clinching interception. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, and after the game was over he provided enough media content to last the entire “dead week” before the Seahawks and Broncos head to New York. Sherman didn’t just fill notepads and provide several […]

49ers GIFs: defense takes over, Tomsula smacks Dorsey in the face
We’ve done a couple GIF-pilations from the 49ers’ 23-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday, one on Quinton Patton getting under Carolina’s collective skin, one on Frank Gore being a chatterbox (that was only one GIF, though) and another on the Vernon Davis touchdown and everyone’s reaction to the botched call and subsequent overturning of said […]

3.0K349ers vs. Packers, and the no-huddle conundrum
The Green Bay Packers frequently went with a no-huddle offense in Week 1, and results were mixed. They scored 28 points, but they only held the ball for 21:25 and their longest drive lasted less than three minutes. The Packers’ defense is 24th in points allowed and 25th in yards allowed, so it would stand […]
