In similar fashion to last year, when they finally decided to release Ray McDonald after multiple transgressions, the 49ers are parting ways with Aldon Smith. FILED TO ESPN: 49ers to release Aldon Smith. — Jim Trotter (@JimTrotter_NFL) August 7, 2015 49ers statement: “This organization has tried very hard to help Aldon fight his issues. Although […]
Let’s get this straight from the beginning. This is not a reputable website, and they didn’t even spell Colin Kaepernick’s last name correctly. Aldon Smith was arrested last night for DUI, hit and run, and vandalism. He said “the truth will come out,” and “there’s no DUI.” If the truth is anything like this insane […]
Aldon Smith was arrested last night for hit and run, vandalism and DUI. As he left jail this morning, KTVU caught up with him and asked him two questions. The transcript is below. KTVU: What can you tell the faithful, all of the 49ers fans, who are watching? Smith: People who are faithful remain faithful. […]
This is going to be considerably shorter, because I’m sitting in the AT&T Park press box and I should be watching baseball. The 49ers took Eli Harold, an outside linebacker out of Virginia, with the 79th overall pick. The 49ers have bolstered the defensive side of the ball with their first three picks, which should […]
Trent Baalke was staring Jaelen Strong right in the face with the 46th pick, and instead he chose to go with yet another player you probably hadn’t heard of before 5:20 pm on May 1, 2015: safety Jaquiski Tartt. It’s the second time the 49ers have used a high draft pick to take a safety […]
On the surface it makes very little sense for the player and his agent. Aldon Smith, who would’ve had his full 2015 salary ($9.754 million) guaranteed if he were still on the roster on Tuesday, restructured his deal. The terms were reported yesterday by CSN Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. Did he do it to help give […]
The Chiefs released A.J. Jenkins last week. That’s not much of a surprise, since Jenkins caught just 17 passes for 223 yards in Kansas City. Andy Reid recently said Jenkins “is just learning,” which also makes sense … yes, even after two years with the Chiefs and three years as a professional. Here’s what Jenkins said […]
Many have said that the 49ers’ only saving grace in the upcoming season is their talented roster. This argument makes sense if you ignore the talent and corresponding roster on the 2010 squad, but insert a picture of Kermit sipping tea here. The 49ers are right up against the salary cap this season ($1.348M in […]
Jed York maintains that he didn’t choose Trent Baalke over Jim Harbaugh. Even taking York at his word, it seemed like a good time to examine Baalke’s tenure as General Manager of the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not an easy task (as you’ll see by the length of this post). That’s because GMs are responsible for […]
Aldon Smith told reporters in July that he had been sober since going to rehab, something that was extremely difficult to believe given the witness accounts from his “bomb” incident at LAX (and, let’s face it, everything else we’ve come to know about Smith over the years). With the San Jose Mercury news publishing details from […]
Many wondered why Jim Harbaugh would want to coach the Oakland Raiders. After the Raiders got a good look at the San Francisco 49ers, one might wonder why they’d want Harbaugh. The Harbaugh-49ers marriage will officially end relatively soon, but its true conclusion came at the Coliseum. The 49ers only scored 13 points in an 11-point defeat to a team with […]
