Update: 04.16.06 – Clayton reported the $110,000 cap hit. However Woods will count $2.5 million as ‘dead money’. The amount Clayton reported is in addition to the $2.5 million.
04.14.06 – John Clayton is reporting that the cap hit the Niners will take due to the trade of Rashaun Woods is a little over $100,000.
Niners coach Mike Nolan might have cut or traded Woods last year, but the cap hit would have been too steep. Now, San Francisco lets him go and takes only a $111,000 cap hit even though Woods is entering only his third season.
Update: 04.16.06 – Bill Williamson, of the Denver Post, reports there is speculation in Green Bay the Green Bay Packers will grant WR Javon Walker his wish and deal him. If Walker is traded, is it likely to happen draft week or during the NFL Draft. It appears the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers could be the front-runners for Walker. Green Bay has maintained it expects Walker to stay. But if a good enough offer comes along, including a draft pick, it might be tempting for the Packers to rid themselves of the distraction Walker is sure to create.

03.28.06 – Adam Schefter, NFL Network, just reported on Total Access that Packers are listening to trade offers, though probably won’t get anything done until closer to the draft to drive up his price. Niners have shown interest, along with Denver and Philly.
Our view: [Trade for Walker]
