San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers are not planning on retaining the services of free agent linebacker Gerald Hodges according to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area. Hodges will visit the Kansas City Chiefs according to a report from Pro Football Talk.

The Arizona Cardinals are signing former 49ers kicker Phil Dawson, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Awaiting reinstatement into the NFL, Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith was detained in San Francisco Thursday morning as first reported by KTVU News.

In the first official day of free agency, the 49ers are expected to be very active in adding players to their roster. So far, it looks like John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan are working to continue to improve the offensive talent from last season.

After signing Vance McDonald to a multi-year deal in December, the 49ers are looking to beef up their depth at the tight end position.

With the excitement surrounding the 49ers at the highest it’s been since the Jim Harbaugh-era, 49ers left tackle Joe Staley sent out a tweet Thursday morning pitching the team as an excellent destination for free agents.

Just two days after his release from the 49ers, wide receiver Torrey Smith has a new home. Smith has agreed to a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles worth $15-million dollars according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

After agreeing to deals with four offensive players on Wednesday, the 49ers are turning their attention to the defensive side of the ball.

After their interest was initially reported by Peter Schrager of Fox Sports, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee is reporting that the 49ers are expected to ink a deal with former Raiders linebacker Malcolm Smith.

Just hours after being rumored to be in the running for his services, the 49ers will reportedly bring aboard former Ravens Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk according the Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
