49ers add Pats linebacker Banta-Cain

[Monstaville Music]

San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers added their fourth potential starter to their defense by reaching an agreement Tuesday with Patriots linebacker Tully Banta-Cain.

Terms of the deal weren't immediately available.

Banta-Cain was being looked at by 4-3 teams as a defensive end and 3-4 teams as a linebacker. He was replaced by Adalius Thomas in New England.

Banta-Cain, who has good speed, was a seventh-round pick from California who gets a chance to return to the Bay Area.

nice little pick up i think he has potential to be damn good in the league

i like the move as well. The 9ers have pretty much went D in the FA market i wonder what they plan on drafting more of in the Draft. I think they should move up and get the best Wr. I feel thats there weakness. Battle to me is just a 2md-3rd wideout Leile is a number 2.. They need to get a solid number 1.

I know he's from Sunnyvale or something.


Anyone who's seen him play...how is he...?



So I guess this means no Joey Porter...? LOL

You're right... my little cousin says he knows him and went to high school with him.

He's got potential, at least it makes up for not getting Thomas from Baltimore. I just hope we don't sign him to some obscure contract like Clements got.
