this is a one year deal. bryant didn't get the huge deal he thought he would, so i assume he's just going to put in a year starting and hope for the best.

minnesota's been looking at thomas btw, so there's a chance he goes at 17. bucs still like kelly, and SS says the bills are really looking at WR now.

SO, those guys are gone for our purposes (the vikes need a DE pretty bad too, so they'll be screwing us either way).

rumor is hackett would prefer carolina as the best chance to win a superbowl next year. i don't see it, but a healthy delhomme really does help them.

So they're missing key defensive players from FA, lose Kris Jenkins and expect to still be Super Bowl contenders?

Crazier things have happened.

When Jake Dellhome was healthy last year he just threw it up perfectly to the 5'9 Steve Smith, imagine how dangerous they would be with a 6'2 guy with some pretty good speed.

He got a 2 million 1 year deal
That is good for the Skins in terms of contract negotiations....i doubt they will pay more than 3 mil/yr for Hackett or others...phew

"Johnson, who has spent his career playing behind Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin in the desert, signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Friday worth roughly $2 million. "

What's also a good sign is that Hackett left Carolina without a offer. Heres a link:Hackett leaves town without offer

I don't see it either...Delhomme was a good QB (he gave me some good fantasy points while healthy) but the previous year when he was healthy they still went 8-8. So I dunno a team that has gone two years without a playoff appearance be a contender. If he had said TB or maybe even us (two teams that made the playoffs) it would make some sense.

what would make more sense (about the whole hackett wants a contender thing) is if he stayed in seattle.

but maybe being inside the league you have a different (possibly incorrect) view of things.

that said, the 49ers got a 1 year steal on johnson, though it's not going to help them out of the cellar.

In that year when they went 8-8 they had a lot of defensive injuries to guys like Peppers,Morgan,Rucker,and Jenkins, so you can't really blame the offense for that.

How many different QB's started in Carolina last season? I think it was all three- Delhomme, Carr, and Testaverde... Delhomme cant stay healthy, Carr is now our problem in NY, and Testaverde just tranfered to a retirement village in Miami Dade awaiting election 2008 in November. Am I missing someone??? Although I believe Carolina is a probable destination for Hackett b/c of the teams desperate need of WR's, I think they should be focused more on who will run that huddle!

You forgot the undrafted rookie free agent that started a few games, Matt Moore. Jake Dellhomme has been a started for 5 years and in those five years he has 16 games, now you probably think 16 is a lot but 13 of those came last year when he hurt his arm and he only missed 3 starts the year before that.
