No link, talking about it on 710.

Not exciting. Though he did play under Solari with the 49ers.

Man when he was young and healthy , he was an absolute road grader. He is a dedicated football player. Afraid he’s on the backside of his career but a good addition to your team

They better not be signing Iupati INSTEAD of Fluker :shock:

I dont think this has an bearing on Fluker. Sweezy replacement.

Interesting. Can we now assume they are trying to go all in with a really heavy power running game?

I don't think this means Fluker won't get re-signed but it is the answer for Sweezy.

I can't believe he's only 31, seems like he's been around forever.

As long as the guarantees aren't too high, this is a great signing. Never hurts to bring in an experienced veteran on the Offensive line and see what he's got.

Local guy, played college at Idaho. I believe he lives in the Boise area. He's played left guard in the past so he's a book-end to Fluker. When he was with the 9ers as a pulling guard, he was devastating. He was plagued with injuries at Arizona.
I hope he can stay healthy (ditto Fluker), we should get 3-4 yards per run as a given.

Don’t be lazy, there’s several sources available.

Took me all of 15 seconds on my phone.

Without “links” stuff like this is considered rumor/speculation and should be posted as such.

He is now 75% of the way through the NFC West.

I think you could juuust possibly be right Jville . :2thumbs:

This is the guy that got KOed trying to block Kam. He’s arguably a better player than Sweeney and Fluker.

Just went and searched on youtube for that specific play you were talking about....

For those interested. It looks as if it took little to no effort on Kam's part. I keep forgetting how scary Chancellor was on our team at times.

This could be exhibit ONE for helmet on helmet hit.

Why would it be? Iupati is almost exclusively a left guard.

I like this move. If he can stay healthy (I know, a big if) he’s a good player.

This makes sense for a few reasons. Iaputi was released and so will not count against compensatory picks and also has a previous history with Solari on the 49ers. His market value was depressed due to injuries in Arizona but he has been relatively healthy over his career. Lastly, his ceiling is also a lot higher than Sweezy's.
