Bucs Trade Eric Wright to the Niners

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... -to-49ers/

Don't pay much attention to the Bucs.

Is this supposed to be their response to us signing Winfield?

If so, fail.

Championship. No way the Seahawks get past the 49ers to play a game in February, now.

didnt the bucs have a horrible pass defense last year?

Yes. The 49ers traded for a defensive player to match up against a Seahawks defensive player. The rumors swirling around are that he will only play in the Seahawks games and only when they go to their special defense vs. defense package.

camp competition... as I see it right now, I think he's probably the 5th CB on our roster...

1. Brown
2. Rogers
3. Culliver
4. Asomugha
5. Wright
6. Cox
7. Brock

This is a pretty minimal acquisition, and a 'conditional late round pick' probably means 5th-7th depending on performance.

Worries about depth or tacit admission they're worried about starters performing?

I'd say that's pretty fair... our secondary pretty comped both the Falcons and Ravens 17+ pts in bone-head plays.

Wasn't he also suspended last season for PED use? Why would they want to bring in a cheater?

Grats niners going out of there way to trade for a PED using thug for no reason.

Honestly don't know what to think of that mismash at corner that the Niners will be sorting through this offseason. Stockpiling guys that were good once and hoping at least a couple of them find their groove again isn't the worst idea, though.

Who cares they still won't be able to beat us this season.

Or more likely they get a pick IF Wright makes the team. No way was it a 5. My guess is a 7 only if he makes the roster.

Nothing really to see here...just giving him a shot and they'll cut him if he doesn't perform.

Niners do this all the time...they look for value. Sometimes you find it (Carlos Rogers a few years ago), sometimes you don't (Braylon Edwards).

Relax, it's just a running joke because we traded for a WR, (Harvin) then you guys traded for one. (Boldin.) Then we traded for a DB, then you did as well. Again, now.

per ESPN:

Wright entered the NFL with Cleveland in 2007. Mangini became the Browns' coach in 2009. The 49ers previously signed veteran special-teams player Ray Ventrone, who also has ties to Mangini and Seely.

Actually the 49ers signed Nnamdi BEFORE Winfield was signed...

...but I get the joke. I think both teams are trying to get as many guys as they can to prepare to play each other...but I don't buy into the "you sign a guy so I'm gonna sign a guy" thing. Just media BS.

I guess the Niner fans have no leg to stand on anymore when calling our players cheaters.

You know, when you cheat to win you've already lost...I wonder if the Niners know that

Oh relax.

When he cheats in a Niner uniform, THEN you have a leg to stand on (and yes, I got the reference).

Besides, it's naive to think that everyone in any locker room in the NFL is clean. The issue in Seattle (and this is actually the only time I'm ever spoken in this forum about it) was the VOLUME of PED positive results. One or two and nobody bats an eye...it was when there were so many.

Niners have had their fair share of failed tests, so not standing on a soapbox, but you guys act like signing 1 guy who did it a year ago is the same as SEVERAL players testing positive while on your roster.
