Joey Porter Would Like to Wear Red and Gold

Update: 03.05.07 — According to Matt Maiocco, the 49ers are not seriously considering spending big money on Joey Porter. They are not showing a lot of interest in him at this point.

*****
03.04.07 — The North County Times (San Diego) is reporting that according to sources who spoke with Porter on Friday. The Bakersfield native expects to visit with San Francisco in coming days.

*****
03.03.07 – KGET.com has a news article on their site talking about free agent Joey Porter looking for a new team. Porter is from Bakersfield, which is about 4 hours from San Francisco, and an even shorter flight. Well the article mentions that landing possibilities for Porter are the 49ers and the Chargers. Here is what Porter had to say in response to those two places.

“Those are teams I would definitely not say no to.”

Oh and by the way, I’m not sure the Chargers have that much cap room available to land Porter. So Nolan if you are reading this make him an offer.

  1. GREG says:

    if we have that much room and he is scheduled for a visit he is gonna be a niner unless he visits someone before us like a thomas did

  2. Ryan the 1st says:

    So BIG M…what is your take on Stallworth vs. Porter??? Keep in mind Banta Cain and the Gore situation.

  3. GREG says:

    i think we should get porter resign gore get maybe one or two more role players in free agency then draft the rest…we will give our rookies a roster spot if we draft them and thats ten picks..which means that people are definately gonna get cut off the bottom of the roster which like they always said was the plan and they are sticking to it

  4. jerry says:

    hey maybe they will give markus maxwell a chance to prove him self at receiver he has been on our roster for a little over two years now or brandon williams.resign gore with some injury clause and sign porter to a two year deal.and stalworth to a two year deal with some injury clause too.

  5. TED BROGAN says:

    anybody else gettin tired of this post.you should change the websites name to joey porter would like to wear red and gold.com this is getting re-damn-diculous!!post something new please.

  6. Big M says:

    i dont kno

  7. jerry says:

    i am TED BROGAN……ALL DAY LONGGGG.

  8. GREG says:

    i dont think porter will sign a two year deal…he will want to sign somewhere that he can finish his career at…4-5 year deal plus we want him longer than 2 yrs anyways he is great…

  9. Big M says:

    i think we should go after porter

  10. JD says:

    i think our big spending is done. Nolan said before the FA period began, we are looking for 5-7 new starters for defense. so far we have 2. Porter is nice, but im not 100% that we will sign him.

  11. GREG says:

    we have 3 new starters porter would be 4 and 1st rd 5 starters our 2nd rd pick will start also but dont know if it will be off or def

  12. tsimsniner says:

    I like Porter in the LB core, but I just keep thinking about all that trash he spoke before the Super Bowl and he didn’t show up. Maybe just a bad day at the office. If we get Willis in the draft we will not be thinking of Porter or Thomas in the future. I’m not sure how the contracts were structured when we were in bondage for the past years, but I do not want to feel that again.

  13. jc25 says:

    isnt franklin going to be a starter?

  14. GREG says:

    yes he will start only true nt on the team

  15. jerry says:

    i have a feeling that franklin and fields will rotatealong with sopoaga.

  16. Ryan the 1st says:

    So we need to get Maiocco on the phone or at least the persons who have the power to do so should give him a call and find out how serious the niners are in pursuing Porter or Stallworth. I say this because we could use another player in FA if we have that much space left and there is STILL some quality left to be had.

  17. The Golden Niner says:

    we have a meeting with porter http://www.49erswebzone.com

  18. jerry says:

    on the 49erszone it said that-though franklin has just one sack and 40 tackles in his 4 year career,nolan believes he can be a regular in the 49ers ROTATION on defensive line.jc25 asked isnt franklin going to be a starter?

  19. Joe S. says:

    Well I just think that we should just keep our 1st and 2nd round draft picks for ourselves, and then trade the rest of them to the Raiders for the first overall, Derrick Burgess and just cherry pick a second person from them just to complete the trade. then we can just take Calvin Johnson with the first overall, then Ryan Kalil with the eleventh overall and move him to Right Tackle, and then we can just pick whomever with our 2nd round pick. The deal would be greatly in both teams favor. We’d be set for a championship run now and the next few years to come, and the Raiders can re-start their rebuild phase out great by having around 19 picks total in this next draft.

  20. Joe S. says:

    And if we do sign Joey Porter it should only be a one year trial run, he is a handful.

  21. NinerFan408 says:

    Joe S. that would never work, a 3rd 2 4ths a 5th and a 6th for the 1st overall? this is a great joke but for burgess who does not fit the 3-4. funny stuff.

  22. Big M says:

    the last two posts up there for Big M were a fake, probably the same guy who did it to Baaqi… anyways, Ryan the 1st, I don’t see us going too hard after Stallworth because he’s a speed guy and we just got that in Lelie. If you were talking about Jerry Porter, then I think he could be an ideal fit, but it won’t happen. He’ll stay a Raider. But Joey Porter would be an excellent fit in our defense. The only issue I can see is his asking price. Nolan might not want to invest so much in a guy who will be turning 30 this year. That was probably the reason Nate Clements was the priority over Adalius.

  23. kong says:

    does anyone here know if top-flight speaks english?

  24. jerry says:

    our first round adam carriker2round mlb dave harris…

  25. kong says:

    works for me jerry.

  26. tsimsniner says:

    Any word on Patrick Kerney coming to visit us ?

  27. Ryan the 1st says:

    Harris should fall far enough for our third…we might be able to get Blaylock to solve the KWAME PROBLEM. Unless a quality receiver or a quality front seven defensive player falls to us like Woodley or Spencer we should look to solve the Kwame problem this draft…it would solve a lot of offensive headaches.

  28. Clemens=Shut down corner says:

    We need to get rid of Kwame. he has no upside. three years and he has stunk for three years. no improvement at all. Synder is better than Kwame. We really need to address the oline situation. L. Allen will not be around for a while. jennings is injury prone. Heitman or Bass are not true centers.

  29. samra says:

    with the first roundr we should draft Patrick Willis, we shoulda done it last year with Demeco Ryans who nolan loved as much as he loves Willis, then wit the 2nd pick we should get Justin Harrel or Ray McDonald

  30. GREG says:

    how isnt baas a true center

  31. zeeke says:

    if we can get donte and joey for a reasonable price do it and then get ready for the draft go niners

  32. scottmckenzie says:

    if san diego and san franciso were to offer him the same amount of money, obviously he would pick the chargers, but how would they work it out with sean merriman?

  33. zeeke says:

    i dont think that san diego would even want him that bad they have two good pass rushing lbs one who is great

  34. Big M says:

    the chargers don’t have a place for him. the just re-signed sean phillips, and they’re not going to take merriman off the field.

  35. zeeke says:

    i have a feeling we are going to take willis and then gonzales

  36. zeeke says:

    who do you guys want 1st and 2nd round

  37. #6 Pick Verron Davis 4 President says:

    I want Branch, or Carriker first, then meachem in the second. That would be a great draft. Not to mention the rest of the picks.

  38. Ryan the 1st says:

    Hey guys…I am outta here until Friday….please keep the information fresh on this website and pray that Joey Porter comes to us FIRST instead of the Dolphins or Cowboys. It has been rumored that they both want PORTER REALLY BAD. Also, the AFC North and East want him really bad as well. This would be a great finishing touch since the Pats are looking at Stallworth long and hard while he is in some sort of rehab right now….so maybe we don’t want Donte.

  39. GREG says:

    BRANCH, LANDRY, OR WILLIS IN THE FIRST AND WOULD LOVE FOR AARON ROSS CB FROM TEXAS TO FALL TO US IN THE SECOND BUT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN SO MEACHEM, RICE, STALEY, BLALOCK, SPENCER, LEANORD, OR MERIWEATHER IN THE SECOND ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT WE DO IN THE FIRST I ALSO LIKE ERIC WRIGHT IN THE SECOND CB FROM UNLV

  40. brett says:

    A report on espn.com says that Briggs does not and will not play for the Bears again…

  41. brett says:

    A report on espn.com says that Briggs does not want to, and will not play for the Bears again…

  42. GREG says:

    THERE IS ALSO A REPORT THAT STALLWORTH IS IN A SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM RIGHT NOW…THATS WHY WE DONT WANT HIM…HE IS WEAK AND A HEADACHE GET PORTER…BRIGGS IS GOOD TOO BUT THEY WILL ASK FOR TO MUCH

  43. Randy says:

    Well, looks like we’re not getting Joey Porter.

  44. EezyE says:

    Greg,
    Aaron Ross would be a horrible pick for many reasons. I go to UT and watched him play all the time. The only reason he won the Thorpe award is because he goes for the big play every single down, meaning all he cares about are INT’s, forced fumbles, big hits, etc. He can’t cover worth a damn and gives way too big of a cushion for receivers to catch and gain about 5 yards before he makes the tackle. He will not be good in the NFL, especially because of the new rules that were implemented a few years ago that give WR’s an advantage against DB’s. Aaron Ross = Mike Rumph

  45. EezyE says:

    Also, he gives up more big plays than he makes. Did you watch any games this season and see how awful UT’s secondary was?

  46. TOP-FLIGHT says:

    WELL IF WE AINT GETTIN PORTER..WE GETTIN PATRICK WILLIS FOR OUR 1ST ROUND PICK..

  47. TOP-FLIGHT says:

    WAT I THINK BOUT BRIGGS..NOT WANTIN 2 BE IN THA BEARS..NINERS SHOULD TRADE THEIR 2ND AND TWO THIRD ROUND PIX TO ONE OF NEW ENGLANDS 1ST ROUND N TRADE THAT NE 1ST ROUND 4 BRIGGS..IF WE DONT GET PORTER OF COURSE…

  48. TOP-FLIGHT says:

    WE

  49. TOP-FLIGHT says:

    WANT
