Bloggers (like myself) and fans all over the Bay Area were upset that Nate Davis was released by the 49ers so they could sign QB Troy Smith. We all thought that Davis was a NFL ready quarterback and he for sure would be picked up off waivers by another team, especially the Seahawks.
Guess we were wrong. Davis cleared waivers and the 49ers have signed him to their practice squad and in another corresponding moved waived quarterback Jarrett Brown.

Mike Singletary announced the team captains today. They are the same people from last year with one addition, Alex Smith. Singletary explained that Smith was not given this honor because he was the quarterback but because of the leadership that he has showed and the amount of work he put in.

| 2009 49ers team captains |
"Alex really put in the time. You know he's out here when no one was out here. He was the guy that got the receivers together and threw to him, and changed his schedule around to meet with some other receivers. So, he was not just doing it once a day, he was doing it twice a day, as well as in the classroom. He was wearing Jimmy Raye and [quarterbacks coach] Mike Johnson out all offseason."The captains from last year and now for this year again are: Patrick Willis, Vernon Davis, Eric Heitmann, Justin Smith, and Takeo Spikes.
