Ashley Lelie a Niner
Update: Sorry been away for a bit, but it’s official Lelie has signed a two year deal with the 49ers. The deal is worth $4.3 million contract with a $2 million signing bonus and $3.2 million in the first year. With incentives, the deal can max out at $6 million over the two years.
*****
Profootballtalk ,who so far this free agency period has been pretty spot on with their reporting, is saying the free agent receiver Ashley Lelie is expected to sign a deal within the next couple days. They are reporting that the frontrunners are the Texans and 49ers. It should also be noted that last year the 49ers did try and trade for Lelie, but did not want to give up what the Broncos were asking. I could see this happening mainly because the 49ers tried trading for Clements last season and look where he is now.

except for parker because the chargers never got there.
D1800 you said it right get stallworth ASAP and I think he’s next maybe that’s why they didn’t pick up benett even though that would’ve been sick I like the signing of lelie and you figure if they just flashed on ESPN NEWS that he was signed and didn’t announce a specific price lets us know it was for cheap.
DON’T WORRY YALL STALLWORTH IS NEXT HE WANTS TO BE IN SAN FRAN!
we’ve had enough distractions….lets not make it any harder for alex smith…get guys that will just play as a team
we definatley should start pursuing stallworth before he gets signed elsewhere
jesus 150 comments?!
Stallworth is too expensive people, move on. He’s not even a true #1 anyway… better to just draft a couple more projects and hope one pans out.
Getting a RT is far more important at this point.
you have a point…we’re all done with kwame…who’s do u think were more a bust kwame or rashaun woods….hell id say kwamelol…atleast rashaun never got a chance to be bad in the regular season lol
We need Stallworth and we need him now!!! If we get Stallworth, the niners will have two legit #2 receivers in Dante and Ashley Lelie and a soon to be good # 2 Battle. Thats 3 good solid receivers. Lets keep in mind, Lelie underachieved in Atlanta, but what receivers thrive with Michel Vick as QB? name me one. He was a good receiver in Denver. Now Stallworth, this is for the doubters ( aka justin ) Stallworth was having a Pro bowl year before he and Mcnabb got injured. He was having monster games. Now imagine him thriving with two other decent receivers, a freak of a tight end in The Duke and dont forget HARDCORE FRANK GORE!!! We will be in a better position than last year.
WHISTLINGMOUNTAIN, Why do you want to keep Lelei as our number 1 option and draft a WR this year? That will kill Alex smith!! are you dumb? We need another solid receiver. Yes, he is not a #1 receiver but he is solid, doesn’t cause trouble and is a 49er fan, he will be loyal. Its the best fit, especially since we signed Lelie.
I think you guys are too busy building all-star teams and not being realistic…like I said…no more WRs will be signed until after the draft…if Stallworth’s gone, so be it.
How is it an allstar game MACHIAVELLI? who are we gonna sign after the draft? thats what i thought.
Smith needs a supporting cast and a rookie is not gonna help, we need the best receiver option out there and that is stallworth
YO SOMEBODY’S USING MY NAME SO WHAT EVER BULLSHIT LOGIC THIS PUSSY MIGHT POST NEXT I’M NOT SAYING IT IN THE WALT HARRIS ARTICLE I SAID I’M NOT USING BAAQI NOR THE REAL BAAQI NO MORE SO AFTER THIS POST THAT’S IT THE THE REAL ME I WISH I CAN FIND OUT WHO THIS PUSSY IS SO I CAN FUCKING KILL HIM EXCUSE ME BUT I’M REALLY FUCKING HEATED NOW I’M GOING TO FIND OUT WHO THIS DUDE IS, YOU BETTER HOPE I DON’T FIND OUT!!!!!!!!!!
That’s right no more rookie wideouts.Unless we get Stallworth or J Horn because then the rookie wr would learn from veterans instead of learning by playing time. Hell even T.O. learned from J. Rice.
battle is awesome he just never plays
anyone got any news on Stallworth or Porter
We need someone with SURE HANDS, guys. Davis is the focal point, Lelie is our speedster, Battle’s good for gimmick plays… we need someone who’s CLUTCH. That is NOT Stallworth. He’d be a colossal waste of money now, on top of signing Lelie. They’re too similar.
49ers for life heres some news on Stallworth:
A league source tells us that, although no visits have been arranged for receiver Donte’ Stallworth, several teams are interested.
The problem, as we understand it, is that the interested teams are at a level well below Stallworth’s expectations. And there likely won’t be any visits until someone gets closer to Stallworth’s price — or Stallworth’s price comes down.
our wide recievers blow right now arnaz battle is a good number three wide reciever, and a slightly below average number two… ashley lelie although not great himself is a decent upgrade at a need postiion and his deal is relatively cheap….so good sign
porter for the same type of deal…and stallworth would be great
alan branch first round plzzzzz
still need to maintain the chemistry on the team don’t forget…i think we should just draft a wr in the 2nd rd.. we can find a #1 reciever in the draft…i also think we are going to pull back pretty hard on free agants i have a feeling with nolan talking about beginning middle end which was his plan during the offseason…didnt you guys like adam snyder at rt…draft backups…we need to put baas at rg what the fuck he was big ten offensive lineman of the year and he is good its about time we start playing him in and out with smiley…what do you guys think
man we gotta get stallworth and porter. With those two guys we’ll be a true playoff team, and thats not even including the draft!!! could you imagine if we a get a real stud in the draft and we make a deep run in the playoffs. Just a thought lol
also wouldnt mind trading up to get calvin johnson…unlikely i know but what about our first rd and a fourth rd this year and our 1st or 2nd rd next year i really wouldnt mind that..he is that good
I say go for it because baas is strong and experienced.
omg if i hear one more person mention Calvin Johnson i’m gunna go nuts. Look ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The end
haha ok 49er for life thats cool…the thing is i said what you said yesterday then i just mentioned him it is old its done agreed
sorry
its ok lol
everyone would love him to come here but it wont happen. Its fun to dream tho Greg lol
vernon davis 13 touchdowns this year if healthy and if we dont get anymore receivers.has anyone signed offensive tackle max starks yet?and erickson we need a new post ,this one is getting to long.
ashley isnt really that bad he had over 1000 yards when he started the whole season
You know it is plausible that the 49ers could trade down to #3 and get CJ if he’s still there. Many analysts are saying that if the Raiders pass him, the Lions are never going to draft ANOTHER WR and Cleveland has other needs. The Bucs would take him without a question, but if the 9ers used a few of their 10 picks plus some more for next year, it could happen (especially since Cleveland will probably be looking for a trade and just wait for Brady Quinn or Marshawn Lynch to come to them…with the 11th pick?). Should they? It’s a risk and it may cost them a handful of picks they could use to build a team around. Rarely have teams that traded a lot of picks for one high pick been the benificiary. I think the 9ers would be better by just holding out a #11 and using a couple of their later picks to trade into the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
max starks was tendered by the steelers
damn Starks is a good player too
thnks for the info Greg
What do you guys feel about drafting Paul Posluszny if we get the chance???
thanx greg for that>>>> starks news
…to continue…I must say, it is becoming less likely that the 9ers will stay at #11…there isn’t that much for them. Either they trade up and get a DE like Adams or Anderson, or even CJ, or they trade down and get a LB like Willis/Timmons/Spencer or even a WR like Jarret or Bowe. We shall see. If it was me, I would trade down, take Willis…get maybe a high 2nd round pick or two (with some of my other picks) and really clean up with solid backup players for the future, especially for the O and D line.
wow Greg I apologize. John Clayton has just reported that the Lions no longer have a serious interest in Joe Thomas, and Adrian Peterson due to their recent free agent signings. Their only other option would be Quinn who could be drafted a little later. They might be looking to trade the pick. There is a slight chance that we could trade up. But it is SLIGHT.
if we got paul posluszny i would buy his jersey immediately
huge fan of his
ernie sims?
i don’t watch penn state games, but i have to admit that Posluszny at least looks like Urlacher.
i am from pa and i am a huge penn state fan trust me he is a beast
i think if he is there in the 2nd round we have to take him b/c derek smith sucks and he could take his starting role without a problem
im from PA too..where you from??
why dont we try to trade with another team in the league who has a #1 WR how about with cleveland for Braylon Edwas it is just a thought they could use all the picks they need or we charles rogers a shot or we trade for mike wiliams in detriot i know i am going to get blasted for this so let me have it

I’m not saying stallworth will not produce in San Fran, but he was not the number one receiver in new orleans. He just happened to be the # 1 receiver in philly when he was healthy. To be honest that is not saying much considering McNabb and Garcia spread the ball pretty evenly. You would expect for Stallworth to have big numbers in Philly he’s the deep threat as we say. Bottom line we need Joey Porter to give us that Nasty back. I don’t no if we have been hurt so bad by the A.T. deal our memory has mistakened us, but we need a O-lineman. DO NOT FORGET THE KWAME HARRIS HIGHLIGHTS. WE WOULD IMPROVE 2 TO 3 GAMES ALONE IF WE HAD SOMEONE SOLID. The key is time back there for Alex. I don’t care if we had chad johnson and steve smith with no time no playoffs. Remember were not the only team getting better.
the more i think about it, i like ashley lilie.i think he will get better going up against nate clements in practice every day.now we have a wide receiver , cornerback,nose tackle and a saftey all in two days.who is next to be in the red and gold.
