Well, if you're being waived by any team so they can sign Cadet, you're probably done in the NFL.

Gabbert to Cadet, sounds lethal 3rd down combo

I wouldn't leave my talent evaluation up to San Francisco... If Bill thinks Thomas is worth signing then he is. I think he's definitely worth a look.

I disagree, it took Edelman 4 or 5 years to break out. Bolden looked great when he came in. While that may not continue, I think we have a capable back up, that looked sure handed in the passing game and broke off a nice run or two. Bolden may be due to breakout. BB doesn't just keep playersaying around for no reason.

Bolden is one of the most underrated players on the roster.

One of our best pass rushers on the team IMO

There are very good reasons to keep Bolden around... they just don't have much to do with his RB skills.

If the 49ers want him then I dont lol. They wonder why their season is the way it is w/ Jordan Devey still getting starts. I see it as a slightly clever way to tank.

Daryl Richardson could be an interesting choice for some running back depth

Don't know much about him. Looks like he can run and catch. Why is he available?

Does Bolden look like he lost a little weight?

I don't know, but he's jacked as all ****. Total special team stud. I love having him on the team, I just think his RBs skills get overstated.

He's serviceable. That's about it.

Special teams monster.

This from the San Jose Mercury News on Pierre Thomas being released -

"After ending his eight-year tenure with the Saints last season, Thomas trained in Chicago all year on his own and did not practice with a NFL team all year until joining the 49ers last week. Thomas indicated Friday he was sore from those initial practices and not in football shape."

So maybe the 49ers just didn't have the patience to wait for Thomas to get NFL ready. It doesn't look to have anything to do with Thomas being injured. Granted, the Pats drafted White to play and this is his chance. but a certified star 3rd down back wouldn't hurt to have around if he can still move, so maybe Thomas hears his phone ring and then, "Hi, Pierre, this is Bill Belichick..."

If the Niners cut him, he's probably toast.

Maybe rice-a-roni.

If he can't keep himself in shape that's likely worse than an injury especially considering how many teams were RB needy in the offseason. He should probably just retire.

In shape and in football shape are completely different things.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

"If he can't keep himself in FOOTBALL shape... etc."

Ross12 · Nov 10, 2015

Hard to keep in football shape without being on a football team.

nabwong · Nov 10, 2015

Maybe Blount and Thomas are bffs and they shared a story.

The free agents that get signed manage it.
