o multi-year deal this week Fooch’s update No. 2: Trotter tweeted that the 49ers told him it was only a one-year offer.Fooch’s update: Matt Barrows a different piece of information. This arrived after Trotter reported the multi-year deal.The Carolina Panthers signed Eric Reid on Thursday http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-y.a.-tittle-jersey , bringing in the safety on a one-year deal. He will slot in as Carolina’s starting strong safety following the decision to move Da’Norris Searcy to the injured reserve list.It turns out, they might not have been the only team interested in signing Reid. NFL Media reporter Jim Trotter tweeted that the 49ers made a run at Reid this week, with hopes of signing him to a multi-year deal.This is intriguing, to say the least. Matt Maiocco is reporting that the 49ers told Eric Reid early on that Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt were their safeties for 2018 and it have to be a one-year deal at backup money if anything was done. This squares with what Kyle Shanahan said back in August when asked about the team reportedly wanting him back on a one-year minimum deal.Reid’s decision to take a one-year deal over a potential multi-year deal could fall under betting on himself to land a bigger deal next year. And give how multi-year deals actually work in the NFL, he might have decided that a 49ers deal (if offered) would lock him in without an opportunity to earn what he believes to be his true worth.What’s most interesting for 49ers fans is what this means of the safety position. Were the 49ers looking for someone to fill in while Jaquiski Tartt and/or Adrian Colbert are hurt, and then go back to the bench? Or is there something else in mind with that kind of potential offer? CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns quickly stuffed a hole in their backfield with Carlos Hyde.Cleveland reached a contract agreement with the free agent running back, who will replace Isaiah Crowell and give the Browns a bruising runner to complement Duke Johnson, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The team is expected to announce the deal after 4 p.m. Matt Breida Jersey White , when teams are permitted to finalize contracts negotiated during the NFL’s two-day “legal tampering period, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity for that reason.NFL Network reported the Browns will give Hyde a three-year, $15 million deal.The 27-year-old Hyde, who played at Ohio State, spent the past four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He’s started 36 games, rushed for 2,729 yards, averaged 4.2 yards per carry and scored 21 touchdowns. Hyde also has 109 catches for 634 yards and three TDs.Hyde has rushed for over 900 yards the past two seasons http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-trent-taylor-jersey , and his addition will offset the probable loss of Crowell, who has been in talks with the New York Jets.The Browns are also exploring a long-term contract with the versatile Johnson, who was their best offensive player last season when they went 0-16.With the signing of Hyde, it’s unlikely the Browns will use either the No. 1 or No. 4 overall picks in this year’s draft on Penn State’s Saquon Barkley, considered the top running back in this year’s class.Browns general manager John Dorsey has spotted quality running backs deeper in the draft. Just last year with Kansas City, he selected Kareem Hunt in the third round and the speedy Hunt rushed for 1,327 yards as a rookie.
