The 49ers doubled up on only one position, outside linebacker, during the recent draft because they had so few outside linebackers on the 53-man roster last season. Now both of those draft picks are out with - presumably - knee injuries. Jim Harbaugh said seventh-round pick Cam Johnson had a "clean-out" procedure that is not expected to keep him out of training camp. Harbaugh would not discuss the specific injury, but Johnson's most recent coach, UVA's Mike London, said last month that Johnson pushed through a knee injury - including what London termed a "bone-on-bone situation" - as a senior last year.

49ers “probably” won’t give Dashon Goldson more than 7 million per year
The San Francisco 49ers franchise tagged Dashon Goldson earlier this offseason after he made the Pro Bowl for the 1st time in his career last season, assuring him 6.2 million in 2012.

49ers giving quartet a two-way look
San Francisco's Will Tukuafu has spent most of his football life chasing down running backs. The 49ers hope he can now help Frank Gore and the rest of their backfield handle other defensive tackles with the same agenda.

49ers And FS Dashon Goldson Separated By $1M
Pro Bowl safety Dashon Goldson and the San Francisco 49ers aren't far apart on the base element of a new deal, but that doesn't mean a deal will get done. A source told CSNBayArea.com that Goldson wants a contract with an annual average of $8 million. The 49ers probably are not be willing to go more than $7 million per year, the source said.

A six-year old New York Giants fan named Joe sent San Francisco 49ers running back Brandon Jacobs a letter with $3.36 in it so he’d be able to re-sign with the Giants.
Of course it unfortunately didn’t matter how much money the boy sent Jacobs, he couldn’t work anything out with the Giants and ended up signing with the 49ers.

49ers RB Frank Gore Comes To Defense Of Saints And LB Jonathan Vilma
Perhaps its a little surprising to hear a San Francisco 49er that was targeted by Gregg Williams come to the defense of the New Orleans Saints and Jonathan Vilma, but Frank Gore, the 49ers running back that Williams implored his defenders to attack, did just that.
