[QUOTE="yooperfan, post: 109303, member: 15"] Niners hope to sign Troy Vincent The 49ers are hotly pursuing five-time Pro Bowl defensive back Troy Vincent, two league sources told The Press Democrat today. "It's safe to say the 49ers are interested, certainly interested," a source said. "But I think there will be other teams involved in it." Vincent, a highly respected 15-year NFL veteran whom the Bills released earlier today, is free to sign with any team. The 49ers believe there will be competition for his services. They are prepared to offer Vincent a two-year contract, one source said. The 49ers are $7.523 million under the salary cap, giving the organization plenty of room to work out a deal for Vincent. Vincent, 35, who was placed on injured reserve-minor on Sept. 13, is recovered from a left hamstring strain, said his agent, Linda Bodley. After the Bills placed him on IR, he could not return to play for them this season. He requested his release this week because he had become healthy enough to play. "He's not a rookie, so it's not like he's going to play 10 more years," Bodley said. "He wants to know exactly what his role would be with his new team. He hasn't ruled anything out." The 49ers view Vincent as a free safety who can help the team's nickel defense. The 49ers' pass defense is ranked 25th in the league, yielding an average of 224.0 yards a game. Last week, the Raiders, who entered the game averaging just 70.3 yards passing a game, rolled up 216 passing yards on the 49ers. Vincent would be an acquisition along the lines of guard Larry Allen and cornerback Walt Harris. The 49ers pounced on those veteran players in March after they were released by the Cowboys and Redskins, respectively. * * * Former 49ers WR Rashaun Woods, the club's first-round pick in the 2004 draft, had a workout this week with the Buccaneers. * * * Posted October 12, 2006 5:09:17 PMPermalink: [url="http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/default.asp?item=220601TrackBack"]http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/default. ... 1TrackBack[/url] URL: [url="http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/utility/tb/?id=220601"]http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/utility/tb/?id=220601[/url] [/QUOTE]
