Deal Done, Banta-Cain Signs
Update: 10:40am — Per John Clayton the two parties have reached an agreement. Per ESPN he will receive a three-year, $12.2 million contract that will pay him $4 million in 2007, but NFL Network is reportingthree years, $8.7 million with $2.9 million to sign.
*****
07:55am — Tully Banta-Cain and the 49ers are very close on a contract agreement. An announcement could come later in the day.
“We’re working it out,” said Jim Sims, Banta-Cain’s Oakland-based agent.
*****
03.05.07 — 06:27pm — Latest reports (Maiocco) is that Banta-Cain is still in town and his agent Jim Sims is heading that direction from his office in Oakland. Looking more and more like a deal may in fact be offered.
*****
04:36pm — Adam Schefter is reporting that the 49ers hosted a visit with free agent linebacker Tully Banta-Cain (Patriots) on Monday.
Well, if you can’t get Adalius Thomas or Joey Porter, then the next one on the list is Banta-Cain. Banta-Cain has local ties to the area he played college ball at Cal and who grew up Mountain View, not far from 49ers headquarters.It should be noted that at the beginning of free agency the 49ers contacted TBC’s agent, Jim Sims, but at the time it looked as if Adalius Thomas was going to be a 49er, so TBC and Co. felt it wasn’t in there best interest to visit at that time. Well, Adalius Thomas is no longer in the picture and interest in Joey Porter is minimal (at least per reports) and if the 49ers continue with the ‘If You Visit, They Will Sign’ motto. It looks as if Banta-Cain will be the next one to sign.
A couple more things, the Rams offered Banta-Cain a contract, but he left St Louis without it signed and Banta-Cain is set to visit the Steelers on Tuesday.
this guy is ours
Nice.
he is a good pass rusher and can help lawson learn the tricks of the trade to be a good pass rusher too
This I like.
This is wise.
This is good.
i like all that we done so far but this WHO IS THIS GUY?
Jeremy, He was the OLB for the patriots last year. He is a very solid player, and he is only 27. He had 5.5 sacks this season.
banta cain man the ninerz could get porter for the same offer their just stalling i bet if they offered porter a 15 million contract porter would sign at the headquarters.
jrizzz…Banta-Cain will be much cheaper.
Jrizz, Porter is not going to be a Niner, Trust me. Banta-Cain will not leave SF without a contract. Plus this will save us some money for what we need….A RECIEVER!! Nolan knows exactly what he is doing. IM ROLLIN’ WITH NOLAN!!
Eh…I’d still prefer Porter, because he’s better suited to mentor Lawson, plus he’d inject that mean streak into the D…or hell maybe both of them?
I’m being greedy I know, I know…
man all the niners gotta do is trade their 1st round pick and maybe round 2 or 3 and bammm we got calvin trust me the lions will trade because they arnt interested in an early pick
Porter’s older, more expensive, and also more likely to cause chemistry problems with his lame-ass attitude.
Banta-Cain is a very good idea.
if we sign him would he be the starting OLB opposite of Lawson or will he be situational?
porter won the superbowl for the steelers imagine wat kind of defense we would have with walt and nate clements along with lewis, but i still think roman should get cut hes horrible
Go Bears Tully. Pittsburgh sucks. No comparison in terms of quality of life.
ofcourse he would start hed propably replace lawson at right and lawson would replace moore at left.
Direct from Matt Maiocco’s Blog
“Tully Banta-Cain is meeting with the 49ers today (Monday). He is scheduled to visit the Steelers tomorrow, so the key will be for the 49ers to make sure he doesn’t get on the plane. I’ll report it again because people don’t believe me: The 49ers are not interested in Joey Porter. –Matt M.”
The Pats benched him for being run-over. He get’s to the QB but can’t tackle in the open field very well. He’s good moving forward. The Pats plain and simple gave-up on this guy. Alexander and Jackson would drool if he’s in the game. He’s fast and a good blitzer. You get good and bad with this dude.
Nolan will use him in the right situation trust me
porter is the way to go see porter will go to san fran thinking ehh im really interested in the chargers but little does he know the ninerz have more money plus guarantee a starting job trust me if tomlinso ran up the middle hed think twice before running into porter now whos scared of banti cain huh not even barlow.
Where did you read that JB? Just curious.

Grade: 66 | Key

Comment:
Banta-Cain has some natural tools for a 3-4 outside linebacker, which could translate to solid production with more playing time. (He contributed chiefly on special teams in 2005.) He is big, athletic and strong. He has good initial quickness on the pass rush and the speed to close coming off the edge. He can separate and come clean off inside games. He has active hands and an explosive first step. He has good closing speed in backside pursuit. Banta-Cain uses his hands pretty well but needs to be more violent when engaging and extending blockers. He needs to develop more countermoves to work off his initial pass rush. He doesn’t appear comfortable in coverage and seems to lack instincts, especially in man-to-man situations. He can be late to react to blocking patterns. He needs to do a better job of setting the edge and disengaging blocks against the run.
we are not getting porter, there is like maybe 10% chance we will get him and that might even be a lie but he most likely wont be a 49er
Jrizz, give it up. MAT MAIOCCO reported that we have no interest in Porter. We are talking about MAIOCCO here!!! HE FOLLOWS THE TEAM. we aren’t signing Porter, thats it. Banta-Cain is a very good player. You people seem to dislike everyone who you have never heard of! A lot of people besides 49er fans prob. don’t have any idea who Arnaz Battle is, and yet he is a good player. Just because you haven’t heard of a guy doesn’t mean he isn’t good. Remember, the big signing might not always be the best one. I hope some of you agree with me on this one.
have u guys heard of http://www.ninercaphell.com go to it and tell me joey wont be a niner
Okay. We’re not interested in Porter.
Everyone — comprende?
i strongly agree with you 49er for life, seriously everyone doubts battle and he quietly put together a pretty good season, i think banta-cain can help as a rusher and if we sign him should get between 5-8 sacks next year, i like banta-cain alot
okay so ur not interested in porter well theres thousands of fans that disagree with u man anything could happen banta cain might go with the rams then wat whos next porter or simmons.
Look just because Porter wants to be a niner doesn’t mean he will be one. He ain’t coming here. Banta-Cain will be a fine pickup if we sign him
porter wont be a 49er and i doubt simmons will be either, banta-cain will be a 49er before porter will be
Cory, awsome point!
hey 49er for life a big reason why clements got that phat check was cuz he said he wanted to be a niner so i have to say that you are wrong about a players opinion my friend.
There’s nothing about “ur not interested in porter” — Matt Maiocco says that the team is not interested in Porter, and basically put that in stone. I’d say it’s on pretty good authority that Porter won’t be a Niner.
WHAT! hold the phone now lol!! Every single expert says that we signed Clements to such a big deal for two reasons (I agree with them). 1) We needed him badly and we had to lock him up. Our division has the best recievers in the NFL. 2) Other teams were also going to offer him big money so the 49ers made sure he didn’t go to another team. LETS NOT FORGET AARON RODGERS!!! Aaron wore a Joe Monatan shirt under his jersey during every game at CAL. He said he wanted to be a 49er in the worst way. He grew up being a 49er fan. BUT!!!! we didnt draft him did we lol. The point is that people wanting to be part of a certain team has little to do with where they end up.
yeah man but rodgers doesnt have the game to back up what he wants to be a niner like porter
how do you know, he nevers plays
i dont care wat maiocco says he aint mike nolan and nolan calls the shots
I would Sign Porter No matter What…. Porter’s a great coverage LB and an even better blitzer…. Banta Cain cant support the run, porter can… also porter would give Lawson a mentor, and hopefully the nasty streak…. Then to back both of them up i would go wit Shantee Orr from the texans who is a year youngerand had 7 sacks 2 years ago as a backup in houston’s old 3-4 defense…. Then at receiver sign Kelly Washington and Bobby Wade…. also i would sign Seth Payne who is a Veteren 3-4 NT and would rotate wit franklin, and finally i would get Jermaine Wiggins to be the Duke’s Backup…. wit all of dis we would be set
jrizz just zip it. First you can say w/e you want to say but dont force people on what they should think. And everyone knows NinerCaphell and atfer it talked about porter it said dont take the radio rumors as a legit statement. So it means nothing.
Second 1st round pick and maybe a round 2 pick wont be enough to get the #4 overall this year, calvin johnson is a steal because he should be the #1 overall. AND third Roman is one of the best freelancers this team has seen in a long time, and nolan really likes the guy considering you slowly got rid of tony parrish because of him. I heard what you said but just stop talking now becuase what you are saying makes no sense.
BUT WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN PORTER LOL
I still would prefer Porter but I wouldn’t mind Banta Cain for depth. Porter brings leadership, fire, fear, and super bowl experience with him along with his obvious talents of tackling, covering, and most importantly getting after the qb. Please Nolan, make Porter a Niner!
scott who the hell r u the towel boy just shut the hell up man because u know nothing about this thats going on ok i doubt the niners will sign banta cain because he already has an offer from the rams who he will go to and roman he sux straight up and was nothing compared to parrish alright if u were a coach ud be coaching the houston texans. and im not talking im typing man.
Jrizz ur wrong. Just deal with it. Porter isnt coming here, Roman is obviously good if Nolan chose to start him, and Banta Cain isn’t going to the rams
However Banta Cain might be a good pick up this year for a cheap deal because it might allow us to determine whether Haralson or Green could be our long term answer at OLB. I have heard a lot of positives about Haralson & Green was amazing at getting after the qb in the limited time he played last year. Even Banta Cain could turn out to be a beast as well and he could become our long term answer. So i guess Porter isn’t all that important. I just like the passion, leadership, and fear he brings out on the field.
Can’t all the ‘9er fans just get along. I’ll take Porter or Banta-Cain even though TBC looks much more likely but you never know. Don’t be too suprised if TBC doesn’t sign along with no one wanting to pay Porter big money. This could mean that Porter could become available to us much cheaper than we thought. I’m lovin how this team is comin together and I love the thought of trading up to get C-J, we have enough draft picks to throw around. Imagine that offense (VD, CJ, FG, our underrated O-Line) with a defense that will turn some heads this year. Go ‘9ers
Banta grew up in california, played at cal, and the niners are intrested in him. So he isnt going to the rams, and what you just about Roman and if i was a coach i would be coaching the texans, then you just pretty much said nolan shouldnt be coaching the 9ers anymore. Peace im off to work, love you 9ers for life, and i know some others got my back on this one.
ok maybe the ninerz will sign banta cain but u cant disagree that porter is a better player am i right all yall that want porter keep ur hopes up cuz remember when the ninerz pretty much guaranteed adalius thomas but in the end who got him?
jriz, what does adalius thomas signing with the pats have to do with the niner’s non-interest in porter?
u just dont get the point man. ANYTHING could happen in the draft that means porter hasnt signed with anyone so he still can be a niner no matter what u say
Yea, seriously like this isn’t our opinions its just cold hard facts. We aren’t interested in Porter = Fact.
who r u to say we you R NOT sitting at a table at niner headquarters saying whos getting signed and who isnt r u
yeah i agree with my boy jrizz hes got a point joey porter still has not signed a contract so the possibilities are still high.
i might not be at 49ers headquarters in contact with staff, but matt maiocco is. when he reports that the niners are not interested in porter, its more than just an opinion.
i didnt understand a word you just said
Jrizz speak english
gOr3 u hit the nail right on the head
well i dont care i just want porter as a niner.
no i dont want this guy eeeeewwwwwwwww no make it go away get porter make hima tasty offer he is the missing link on D then just hit up a WR in the draft i like jarrets freaksh skills of catching the ball and he is 6,5ft ok speed dont matter its about making plays and he makes plays so stop saying people he isnt fast enough its about making plays ok say it come on now making plays and jarret makes play after play after play after play ok 49ers4life
I agree with jrizzz roman was nothing compared to parrish!! And now parrish is a cowboy!!!! That makes me mad!
Also Porter is better then Banta-Cain but landing either one of them is still better than nothing.
he didnt put nothing on the head ok.porter is available
why are half the niner fans on this page incapable of stringing together a coherent english sentence? are you guys 9 years old?
lmao
go3 did u ever go to a party in your life its called slang typing for those like go3 who were born yesterday
hahahah jesus christ i think your mother hit the crackpipe a few hundred times too many when she was pregnant with your dumb ass.
who do yall think will be the number 1 receiver next year
oh look at go3 with his jokes. i havent said a joke like that since i was at preschool and i actually thoughtabout it before i said it.
Calvin Johnson!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hope we trade up, you never know Matt Millen will probably take a 1st, a 3rd and Kwame Harris, for the 4th overall draft pick.
it wasn’t a joke. i’m dead serious. your linguistic skills imply that you have severe degenerative brain damage, likely caused by substance abuse during your development as a fetus.
foo i know ur still a virgin u loser ohhh fetus wat did u get on ur first christmas a dictionary. maybe thats why u type like virgin
lol this whole argument started over Joey Porter. Thats pretty hard to believe
Latest update from Matt Maiocco is that he is still at 9er headquarters and his agent is in his office in Oakland and plans to go down to 9er headquarters soon. This from Matt’s blog.
Nolan wants character guys.. That’s why the Niners aren’t interestedin Porter. They took a chance on Bryant and look how that worked out. Plus why would the Steelers just ket the guy walk if he is truly that damn good. There is something that people just aren’t saying.
guys, Banta-Cain is a solid player as of right now, porter might be a little bit older, but more polished. if you want a defense nasty…porter is your guy!
Nice, if his agent is coming to SF it looks like we have him locked up
if whos agent goes to san fran
Banta-cain
Also, I know that Nolan wants character guys, but he knows the defense needs a “makeover.” Spend a little bit more and get the play maker! I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but i am worried about the right side of the offensive line. What do you think?
Same here, I think we need to sign Banta-Cain, A right tackle, and a WR
i think we should replace derek smith i mean he has been around for a long time but he hasn’t made an impact yet i mean hes a solid LB but i think a new guy is needed.
i’m pretty confident nolan knows what he’s doing. heck he got us to where we are right now.
If we get TBC all we are goin to need is a pass rushing defensive end, someone to fill Kwame’s hole, maybe Snyder can do that, and a true number one wideout (Calvin Johnson trading up) and I will be smelling the playoffs
1. Maiocco says we’re not interested in Porter.
2. Porter bitched and moaned all year about his contract.
3. Porter’s “mean streak” is more like an “attitude problem.”
4. He’s going to take up a large chunk of cap room.
We’re not getting Porter. Come to grips with it.
Also, “slang typing”? Dude, it’s English. It’s neither difficult nor time-consuming to punctuate and spell.
Can someone give me the link to Maiocco article on Banta-Cain and that were not intrested in Porter.
fuck you justin we want porter u can just suck it
Wish in one hand, crap in the other. There are enough reasons to make a healthy wager that Porter does NOT make sense. “BUT HES GOOD OLB!!1AND WE NEEDZ HIM” isn’t a valid reason.
FRISCO here’s a link
http://www.49erswebzone.com/content/news/view.php?id=8946
Guys you need to also remember Banta-Cain only started part of the season due to the injury to Seau. 5+ sacks is awesome for a part time starter and we can get him on the rise at 27.
Why would the 9ers be so willing to pay Adalius Thomas but not Joey Porter? Joey Porter has actually had more productive years so far. And I just don’t know how we got from supposedly giving Adalius a blank check, and we were suppose to get Banta-Cain. Now they are being stingy and trying to only sign Banta-Cain.
One more thing, if we don’t get Joey Porter or trade for Lance Briggs. We better end up with at least Banta-Cain and Donte Stallworth, cuze this is just ballshit. I think they could have saved a lil money where they gave Michael Lewis $10 mill guaranteed. Even though I like the guy, it wasn’t a MUST HAVE need. Now Keith Lewis gets pushed to the bench, and where’s Mike Adams going? Even farther down.
Thanks TJ I think Banta Cain will be a good pick up. He really improved his stats last year. He racked up career highs in sacks with 5.5 and tackles with 31. She he is defintly improving in th leauge. As for Joey Porter almost even team in the Leauge would love his presents on there team I mean he is fast, and very athletic. He would be good in SF with Manny Lawson, But Banta Cain is younger and will save us some cap room for our daft picks or even a WR. Speacking of WR Stallworth is going to Visit with the Titans tommarrow and the Patriots according to Pro Football Talk
Don’t know about Stallworth guys, he could be a bigger headache then a productive WR. He is currently enrolled in the NFL substance abuse program and is only willing to take a one year contract to prove himself. That doesn’t sound like qualities we’re looking for in a player. Sorry to say but the well is drying up on FA wideouts.
Remember this is not a sprint to the playoffs, we need to build through both FA and the draft.
THE 49ERS JUST SIGNED BANTA CAIN TO A 5 YEAR 8 MILLION DEAL CHECK IT.
where did you see this?
bye bye porter your off to miami.
where did you see that ‘niner nation’
its all over google .
post a link.
OK I know that we want the niners to do great next year, but stallworth? Everyone is saying that we shouldn’t sign porter (to much money), but spend lots of money for stallworth. If we are to spend any money it should be on the biggest concern…passrush! Porter is worth the money stallworth is not! After making that decision address the right side of the offense line. Questions…Comments?
wait. ill give one shortly but the deal is closed the contract was signed at 8:21 pm
Maiocco totally mislead us on Ad.Thomas! He was confused, and fooled on that one. He did not have “insider” information. I wouldn’t be surprised if Porter signed with us. Maiocco gets alot of his information from the web. I know he has ‘connections’ and ‘informed’ sources with the ‘Niners. However, have you ever noticed he just plays it safe most of the time. But on Thomas he blew-it. Once-in-awhile he gets a “scoop.”
well if Banta Cain is in San Francisco then that mean he will sign in an hour because it is 7:24 right now
Looks like I’m joining Maiooco on Porter….Whoops…he still blew it on Thomas…COMPLETELY
i dont see anywhere on sites that banta-cain signed
niner nation…he may have signed but it is not all over Google.
yeah what erickson said
dudes lyin
I can’t find anything about CoCain signing! Where on Google???! Niner nation, is you’re real name Matt Maiocco?
I have just been informed that Joey Porter is in Nolan’s office as we speak and that Porter just passed his physical. Banta Cain, however too is at the facility too. This could be interesting.
WTF EVER
cocain, nice one haha…i thought porter just signed with miami
haha i think he is the same guy who posted that niners signed Stallworth
Porter is not in my office. Matt Maiocco is a lying moron.
does anyone have a reliable source that banta-cain signed or that porter is visiting with nolan?
somebody mind telling me what the hell is going on here
yea seriously lol alot of things are flyin around here
banta cain was signed over porter
your all morons
easy man, there was alot things goin around no one knew what was goin on
whats the link?!?!
Enough fiddlefuckery, children.
Porter’s not in Nolan’s office. Christ.
Banta Cain has not yet been signed. He may sign, he may not sign. At this time no reports are out there that he has. Porter is not looking like he’ll visit and Niners are showing little interest. If BC signs then all Porter talk can end.
Thank you for clearing everthing up
If that Banta-Cain contract figue is right it´s a amzing steal. Cost-Benefit would be one of the biggest in these free agency. We filled the need, paying like 60% less what we would´ve paid for Porter. Guys come on, that is really nasty management by Nolan and Co. if that number is true. Porter was asking something in the neighborhood of the 5Mill a year, we just signed a guy with great upside for a third of that.
i was just kidding about the Matt maicco thing… I mean why does that bitch act like he knows everything to do with the niners… there are only two people who know what’s goin down and thats nolan and Scott McCoulgh…Maoicco just thinks he’s the shit by speculating stupid shit and trying to act all official about it. The fool’s part of the Media and they can get people to think whatever they want, likie The Adalius Thomas thing, according him we shoulda signed Thomas over Clements. This guy is getting paid to do what we do on this blog for free….speculate… the only diff. is that he’s got a degree in journalism or some bulshit
I have looked in all major search engines, not a thing on any linebackers signing with the niners. Has anyone found anything?
Banta cain could be something special under the tutaledge of Mike Singletary. He is only 26.
Also Lance Briggs is screaming to get out of Chicago, this could ba a good trade opportunity for Nolan.
Hey Erickson, do you think they will have a deal set for BC by the end of tonight?
Where are you guys getting your numbers or percentages? Cain will cost 60% less. How do you know that? Yeah, more-than-likely he will be cheaper than porter, but do you know the exact number that both agents are asking for Zurdo?
im sayin smiley and 3rd and maybe 4th if he fits with the system
How do we know the people typing under the name Matt Maiocco, is really who he says it is?
Briggs already has said he wont play in a 3-4 defense, he played it at arizona state and said he feels that it doesn’t suit him

i really doubt were trading with the lions
aight is the other Matt Maiocco for real… cuz i got some questions for you
I’m starting to think the Niners may be pretty good next year. I’m always up for a new underdog team in the league…..
Hopefully the Bills don’t suffer too bad without Clements…I’ve been waiting forever to at least catch them in a playoff game again.
if we traded up and got c.j. i would poop my pants
yeah samra, and i wish i had his job.
Looks like the rumors of the Lions were false. There is a new deal in the works with the heavens, if we give them a first rounder they’ll give us God. Stay tuned.
is there any truth to this lions trade?

Cant Wait Till everything is done(Draft & Free Agency) and Football season starts
whats up with banta-cain?
i think this guy will be a good addition, he’ll deff add depth, i mean we already have a good linebacker core anyways, so this good,, we need a another receiver big time tho
He’s taking a steamer.
whats the plans with D.Smith and Ulbrich?
Start giving us more updates on your blog.
Arizona State does play a 3-4, but University of Arizona does not. Former UofA player, Briggs is not worth the franchise tag let alone the big contract he wants. I prefer to sign Banta-Cain and sit on the remaining monies for next year because more players will want to come. We are already getting 8-10 more players in the draft.
word, we wanna know whats goin on
Her guys the SeaBitches just signed Patrick Kerney for 5 years…hahaha… all in their late 30s wit Wistrom bein 31, Bryce Fisher is 30, and Kerney is 31…true all of them are in their prime but it wont last long…I think we all know who the next Redskins are….
i just hope that B moore will get some serious playin time cuz hes sick
darryl tapp will be a good pass rusher, i love that guy i wish he was a niner if we were a 4-3 team
Hay Maicco whos’s the other starting ILB and his backup…will moore start at LOLB
do you think Banta Cain will leave with a contract tonight? if so aprox. when?
whats the scoop with banta-cain?
give us an update of what’s going on right now. then post it on your blog. then i’ll believe this is the “real” matt
The other ILB will be Bill Romonowski… Nolan is very high on him and will bring him in for a workout as soon as that stud Banta Cain is signed…. Next will be Troy Vincent who i said will be wit the niners no matter what last year
Does anyone respond to any questions on here?
Give us the Banta-Cain update, then update your blog. Then I’ll believe this is the “real” Matt.
how do we know ur not the fake
Where did you hear this Kevin Lynch
there is no “real” matt on here.
Hey Kevin Lynch do u have the link for dat cuz i cant find anything about the FA the niners workout
Maiocco-
How many more free agents, whether theyre big-time players or quality backups, are we looking at before the free agency concludes? And at what positions, so we know what to expect during the draft?
Hey fellas, it’s Jerry Rice! Yes, I am the real Jerry Rice. So it seems like the 49ers are coming back to the glory days.
okay this is just bullshit now.
Oh ok, nevermind. Based on everyones comments, I’ve been fooled by this “real” matt. haha. My apologies.
i dont believe anyone until i have sources.
I’m at the HQ as well. That is actually Matt and Kevin waving at each other!
the same person is saying they are jerry matt and kevin and it isnt funny anymore. its also 8:23 at night and you wouldnt be “hanging” out there if you were jerry rice. you would be inside.
this is getting pretty lame now
hey dude fuck off your not funny.
can you leave this site and go back to your own?
Hey guys reports are that Joey Porter is still in Bakersfeild and that may visit the Niners tommorow and the bengals are trying to get him in on weds.
if you continue please dont give out any more false info.
I doubt we’re getting Porter.
why isnt nolan going after him?
Hahahhaha, whatta fuckin’ moron!
why are you guys all against porter? he is an amazing player. i would be fine with banta-cain tho.
DAMN…FUCKIN NFL SOURCE SAID WE JUSS SIGNED BANTA CAIN…SHIT..WE MADE GOOD DEALS..BUT WE SHOULD OF WAITED 4 PORTER…FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is the deal with banta how good is this guy
what is the source?
Banta cain could be something special under the tutaledge of Mike Singletary. He is only 26..
yea I cant find anything
i think top-flight is wrong i searched like 10 pgs of google and found nothing.
linebackers are a dime a dozen and we should get one in the draft.Spend your money on stalworth to have him and lelie two of the faster recievers in the league.
its true we sign banta-cain…

signing stallworth looks unlikely. go to nfl.com. pats seem to have a big advantage.
Tully comes from an athletic family. His cousins include former San Francisco Giants outfielder Jeff Leonard and current NBA forward Rodney Rogers.
Tully’s first name is the product of a dream his mother had the night before he was born.
Tully was named MVP of the 2003 East-West Shrine Game. He recorded two sacks and forced two fumbles for the West squad.

Wow..that was some seriously funny comments. I laughed like a mf! It all started with one guy who wrote that the “Niner players would like to have BantaCains “presents” istead of presence! Then this guy “Samra” was funny as hell. He was followed by “Matt Maiocco.”…Best laugh i’ve had in days. Or for our friend “Frisco” maybe i should say ‘Daze.’…LOL LOL
i thought it was funny until they started putting up fake info that people believed.
so are we or arent we getting cain
No Banta-Cain yet. I’m sure we’ll hear something maybe late this eve or early in the am. He’s supposed to visit the Steelers tomorrow, so for those that want Banta-Cain pray he doesn’t leave SF. I’m done for the night, so you all are on your own for updates and such. Oh and don’t believe the yayhoo running around saying he signed (per NFL Ticker) as of 9:42pm PST he has not signed.
we should try for eric moulds
yeah i saw they took that down from 49ersparadise.com
Banta-cain would be nice but I still say get porter draft branch and trade up and draft bowe from lsu
KRON and KNBR mentioned today that Joey Porter could be in town and supposedly will be meeting with 49ers officials tonight. However, Schefter reported that Porter met with Miami during the weekend and will visit with Cincinnati on Wednesday, so don’t take the radio rumors as fact.
If he comes tonite they gonna bag him up real quick
