Who do you think will be the next shoe to drop?
Perhaps Vernon Davis? Then again, if Davis can just make it through this season, he will get to be a free agent in 2016.
Maybe Joe Staley? He seemed to like blocking for Frank Gore.
Boldin? Miller? Bowman? This is getting pretty ridiculous now.

Seems odd that the 9ers have had a rash of retirements this year but I wonder how many more players are close to stepping away from the game?
Borland played all year wanting to retire before calling it quits this off-season. I think this is just a ripple of things to come.

If we seen a fair number of YOUNG players across the league doing this of that caliber I could agree, but these are top players in a organization on the cusp of greatness just recently, it smells fishy for a reason.

He did have a concussion last year late in the game vs the Giants. He said he needed to rest his "brain and body". Concussion might have been more severe than advertised or he's just been paying attention to all the potential concussion risks that have come to light recently. That's what happened to Borland.
Still...in a state of shock right now.

Wow . . . good going, Jed.
Get the city of Santa Clara to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars for a stadium you paid $0 for. Check.
Lock Whiner fans into PSLs. Check.
Allow uncertainty over Harbaugh's contract situation to fester and then run rampant. Check.
Now totally dismantle every decent competitive advantage this franchise had. Check, check, check.
