If it isn't now, it will soon be time for a 2003 Niners thread. 

lex, from where does your confidence about Niners free agent decisions come? You may be right, but I don't see why anyone could be confident in anything at this point.

My only “confident” statement pertained to Jimmie Ward. I base it on comments he’s made relative to his desire to play safety (I don’t know this but perhaps safeties make more than slot corners) and various articles indicating a high probability that he’s gone. 

 As for McGlinchey, I read he helped himself quite a bit with his play down the stretch.  Improved pass blocking.  I think the 49ers would love to keep him. But the articles I’ve read suggest the price will be too high.
