Likely means Gooden or Grant won't be back.

And he can actually be a decent backup when the defense is on the field. Most Bengals fans I know speak highly of Skuta when he was given playing time. Skuta and Wilhoite transition us from Grant and Gooden on STs. We also have Stupar and a ton of draft picks to plug in on that unit as well. Excellent work Baalke.

Yeah, I even remember some Bengals fans hoping Skuta would get a chance to be a starter at ILB.

Has FB experience, as well.

phlysac · 03-15-2013, 12:07 AM

And for anyone who remembers the game against the Bengals in 2011. He was the one who did this to VD...

49erNation85 · 03-15-2013, 12:08 AM

Why are we signing Skuta ?

Nnamdi did leave the building a couple hours ago per @ Akbar Gbja (NFL Network) and Ninersnation.com

That doesn't mean that he wont sign though.

"He is an established special teams player and versatile linebacker who fits our system very well."

-Trent Baalke

Lets see what the terms are before we determine that it's a good signing though.

Shupp · 03-15-2013, 12:20 AM

Maioocco says that nothing is "imminent" in regards to Nnamdi.

Seriously? He's a STs guy. You really think Baalke would overpay for that?

Yeah I'm serious, I'm not in the habit of assuming anything.

He's going to be 32 in a few months, Nnamdi probably wants 3-4 years and we want 2 years if I had to guess....

Special Teams dropped off quite a bit last year, actually.

49erNation85 · 03-15-2013, 01:13 AM

I do I do trust Baalke. Just hating the waiting game is all lol.

Yea our special teams did fall off some, so that is good they are getting help in FA.

Well if were going by his track record, Baalke doesn't overpay for ANYONE. Even the signings I don't like, are Niner-friendly deals. And Skuta is a very underrated talent. Like I stated in main free agency thread, NO GM gets more bang for the buck than Baalke. Im more than inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt that whatever Skuta got, it was fair market value and well worth it when all is said and done. Especially with all the things Skuta brings to the table.

dan77733 · 03-15-2013, 10:52 AM

Skuta is a good signing for ST and backup inside depth but its not like teams are banging at the door for Grant and Gooden. Oh well.

I can deal with losing Walker, Sopoaga and even Jean Francois but losing Goldson as of right now, stings and is going to hurt. Baalke better get someone as good or better than the guy he let go.

dan77733 · 03-15-2013, 10:54 AM

Here's something I just remembered -

Are we looking at signing a veteran QB or will that be later?

The last position I'm worried about is the back-up to the back-up. I like Tolizen and its obvious JH likes him too. The offense will just go back to being more traditional if anything were to happen to CK. My take is there's a few QBs JH likes heading into the draft, and we'll draft one. They haven't even contacted Josh Johnson, who is a FA. I guess they've moved on from him. But the QBs on the market are nothing to sneeze at. Its really nothing there to choose from. Im just wondering why we haven't been linked to ANY free agent TEs, with Walker gone. Seems a bit odd but in Baalke we trust so I wont dwell on it too much.

Losing Walker is going to hurt too because he was asked to do alot and did, but your right about Goldson. The facts are this; Baalke was never going to pay Goldson 8 mil a year. I've recently just came to the realization that it wasn't about signing Rogers. Fundamentally, I think Baalke doesn't believe a FS is worth that much. ANY free safety. Just like I believe he doesn't believe any CB is worth what Revis will demand, which is why he never considered trading for him.

He has a value on certain position and he doesn't want to exceed. Bowman is one of the best ILBs in the league but his deal was very team friendly, compared to the extensions guys like Donald Washington and Laurinatius got. He gives guys a number and says we can work out something in this ball park. If not, he'll let them walk.

He refuses to overpay, even for his own talent....which is weird and beautiful all at the same time. Most ppl have no problem overpaying their own guys, even just a little.

I think its the position you play with Baalke. Pass-rushers and QBs, I think he'll do whatever to keep because their such vital personnel in today's NFL. Everyone else, he has no problem seeing guys walk out the door for the last time if there's even a hint that he has to overspend to keep them. Maybe part of that is he trusts his eye to spot capable but cheap labor. Might be a little arrogant in that respect but so far, he has done an excellent job at that.

Goldson was never coming back. I can see it clearly now. He knew last year, in fact. No matter how good of a season Goldson had, he was never going to pay a FS, 8 mil a year. The only reason he was franchised is because the 6.7 mil price tag was right inline to what he felt Goldson was worth a year lol.

But for the life me, I don't understand why he's going after these old DBs and not Huff. A guy who has the versatility this defense needs and brings a dimension that could elevate this defensive secondary, even more than re-signing Goldson would have. I dont get it...but In Baalke, We Trust so I digress....
