General manager Scot McCloughan has came out and said that he is not interested in bringing in quarterback Michael Vick once the Ex-Falcon is done with his suspension. So McCloughan does not want to bring in a quarterback that can change this teams offense? Instead he hopes Alex Smith can recover from shoulder surgery and come back and be a great quarterback?

Something sure doesn’t sound right here. I know Vick messed up big time with the whole dog fighting incident, but he has served his time and I expect him to be on a NFL roster. Why not the 49ers? This team could use a a little boost on the offensive side of the ball.

Wow this is kind of surprising as the San Francisco 49ers have signed left tackle Joe Staley to a six-year contract extension. Usually teams will let the players rookie contract run out or at least into the second year before they sign them to an extension. However the 49ers wanted to lock up Staley and build the offensive line around him for the years to come.

“Joe Staley is the type of player we want to continue to add to this football team,” 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan said. “He’s a tough, versatile, no-nonsense type of guy who wants to do whatever it takes to help his team win football games”.

“Joe is a consummate team player and has been completely unselfish in the way he has approached his role on this team. We know what he means to the success of the 49ers and getting this extension done puts us in a very nice position for the future.”

The six year extension contract calls forĀ  $42 million in new money and $18 million being guaranteed. Looks like we can expect Staley to be the big man on the 0-line for years to come!
