What’s New?
After taking over for Mike Nolan last season, head coach Mike Singletary is looking forward to his first full year at the franchise helm.
The 49ers were busy when the free agency period opened, landing Brandon Jones, Damon Huard, Demetric Evans and Marvel Smith, among others. The team also extended tackle Joe Staley for six years, perhaps its most important work.
Everything was going quite swimmingly for the red and gold—then draft weekend came around. The 49ers had the 10th pick and, after what seemed like another bonehead decision in Oakland, they had the draft's best receiver ripe for the plucking, and pluck they did.
Michael Crabtree is a 49er. Great news, except it isn’t. We're less than a week from the season opener, and Crabtree is still unsigned.
The rest of the draft went much better for the 49ers, as they found running back Glen Coffee, quarterback Nate Davis, linebacker Scott McKillop and defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois.
Meanwhile, Damon Huard did not make the team and Marvel Smith retired.
We're going to send you the most entertaining San Francisco 49ers articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
