Mario Manningham Rumors & News

San Francisco 49ers receiver Mario Manningham, recovering from knee injury, discusses Michael Crabtree's Achilles tear

Mario Manningham made an appearance on Jim Rome's radio show, and he had a chance to discuss a variety of topics. The most pertinent was related to his knee injury. His comeback is now 17 weeks old, and the rehab process continues on. As would be expected, Manningham said things are going well with it. Rome asked him if he planned on being back in time for training camp and Manningham said he would, "around that time". He emphasized that he wanted to be back at 100% and didn't want to rush anything. He also had a chance to discuss the hard parts of rehab, and he pointed to the mental s...

Now that we have a good idea who we will have on the roster going into training camp, questions about the depth chart are starting to arise. One of the biggest questions is in regards to the wide receiver position. It's pretty safe to assume that Michael Crabtree is the No. 1 option with Anquan Boldin lining up across the field. Where the rest slot in is a big fat mystery. Mario Manningham would be presumed to be the No. 3, based on his body of work. He was injured late in the year and his rehab is reportedly coming along slowly. Kyle Williams is also recovering from a season-ending in...

Fooch's Note: We've got a new writer! socalisteph is a big Bay Area sports fan and will be providing a fairly broad mix of analysis for us.

The 49ers were the first professional-sports franchise based in San Francisco. My parents, Bay Area Natives, were among the first fans when the team started up.

In recent weeks, I've been hit up on Twitter numerous times for updates on various 49ers injuries. We've provided updates as news developed, but I figured now was a good time to put together a comprehensive update on where we stand. There was some new information on Kendall Hunter this weekend, but otherwise this is just a compilation so everybody is on the same page. Well, everybody that reads this at least. Kendall Hunter The 49ers running back tore his Achilles in the 49ers Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints. We had not heard much on the extent of the injury or his rehab progre...

The 49ers continue working with their veterans to clear salary cap space. A week after Mario Manningham agreed to a lower base salary, outside linebacker Parys Haralson has agreed to a decreased salary. According to Ian Rapoport, Haralson agreed to a new contract worth $1.3 million with incentives that could boost it to $1.7 million. He was previously on the books for $2.87 million in 2013. Haralson missed all of last season with a torn triceps muscle, and was a strong candidate to be a cap casualty. He likely recognize that he would be looking at no more than the veteran's minimum if ...

Fooch's Note: Per Maiocco, the new contract removes a $250,000 roster bonus and a $100,000 workout bonus and incentives. While the 49ers have some cap space they are close enough that a little extra room could do them some good. Accordingly, they appear to have made a move to clear up some space. According to our man Jason Hurley, it appears Mario Manningham has reduced his 2013 base salary from $3.6 million to $1.8 million. Manningham is entering the final year of his contract, so this likely means a chunk of it was moved into some kind of incentives that could be unlikely to be earne...

The wide receiver position was a big question mark this offseason, as Joshua Morgan departed for free agency, the legendary Brett Swain wasn't brought back, and Michael Crabtree still hadn't quite come into his own. Nobody can suggest that the 49ers didn't make a concentrated effort to improve the position, of course. They signed Mario Manningham and Randy Moss in free agency, and made A.J. Jenkins their first-round pick of the 2012 NFL Draft. That being said, the position turned out to be very poor last season. Their were significant injuries to both Manningham and Kyle Williams, the ...
