Matt Maiocco at CSNBayArea.com is reporting that the San Francisco Forty Niners have signed former Packer wideout, special teams player, and "high motor guy" Brett Swain to a one year deal. The move comes after receiver Josh Morgan underwent what is likely to be season ending surgery for a leg fracture he sustained during last Sunday's romp over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Swain logged a total of 6 catches for 72 yards all of last season for Green Bay, but appeared in all sixteen games for the Packers as a cog on their special teams unit.
A source close to the Niners (i.e. me sitting 3" from my TV on Sundays) was quoted as saying that "Swain was able to distinguish himself at yesterday's tryout from veteran wideouts like T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Chris Chambers and Brian Finneran by demonstrating a sense of angst and social disenchantment through sludgy and distorted guitar riffs."
One can only hope that Swain's melancholy yearning for freedom may help him find soft spots in zone coverages. He will likely enter Sunday's matchup against the Lions as SF's 4th wide receiver.
hopefully he views opposing defenses as "the establishment" and proceeds to rebel against that.
ReplyDeletehaha no doubt, Swain will RAGE against the Lions' secondary on Sunday
