The Departure

Dashon Goldson #38 Intercepting the ball

The former 49ers 2012 first-team All-Pro saftey Dashon Goldson has signed a five-year deal $41.25M contract with Tampa Bay.Known as a hard-hitting enforcer in the 49ers' secondary, Goldson also has the gift for the turnover. Intercepting 14 passes over the past four seasons. He has a career total of 346 tackles, 14 interceptions, 3 sacks, and 5 forced fumbles. In 2012, after having been franchised tagged by the niners, Goldson was part of a pass defense that ranked fourth overall in the NFL. Allowing only 200.2 passing yards per game. The 49ers also ranked first in the league by allowing 10.31 passing yards per completion and second with 5.13 passing yards allowed per attempt. 

Saftey-Craig Dahl #43

The Replacement

Goldson's departure puts a huge weakness in the 49ers secondary. Though as of now the niners have signed saftey Craig Dahl for a contract of 3 years/$5.21million to hopefully fill the hole left by goldson. Dahl said, his visit to San Francisco was so positive he wanted to sign as soon as he could "to get things rolling." He is eager to play in a secondary with hard-hitting saftey Donte Whitner.

Offseason:Off to a Good Start

WR Anquan Boldin

The San Francisco 49ers have aquired WR Anquan Boldin in a trade with the Ravens. He will be a perfect fit to the weapon options for the offense and for young and talented QB Colin Kapernick. Boldin doesn't want anything preventing him from settling in quickly, and getting on the same page with his quarterback is very key to a great quarterback to reciever relation. He called up Kapernick to get a feel of him and will continue to call him to build their relationship."That's very important for a quarterback and receiver ... it doesn't just happen overnight," Boldin said. "Whenever you see a quarterback and receiver on the same page, that means they've spent time together." Boldin is known for being a physical reciever who quarterbacks can rely on when in tough game situations. As a niner fan the suspense of him stepping on the field with his capabilities is unbearable. His niner debut will not be an event you want to miss.
