Name on the rise

Two weeks ago we put out our list of top 20 unrestricted free agents. Every year I miss somebody and this year the one name I hear will be heavily pursued is 49ers DT Isaac Sapoaga. He's one of the NFL's strongest men, probably in the top three or four actually. The 6-2, 334-pounder is a bear against the run and gets helped by the fact that the cupboards for DTs in free agency are pretty bare.

Full Name: Isaac Sopoaga
Born: September 4, 1981
Pago Pago, American Samoa
Height: 6-2
Weight: 325 lbs. Age: 26
piece of work: DT
Experience: 3 years
College: Hawaii
Drafted: Year:2004 Round:4 Pick:8, 49ers

He is scheduled to be a restricted free agent. If they don't put a high tender on him, would be well worth looking at signing him to an offer sheet, surrendering a 4th round pick

The one problem I have with Samoans is they are really unfit. I played sports with Samoans for years and none could ever last a full game of rugby. I guess it will be fine with this guy seeing as it is DT but he could be a setback with no work ethic. I don't know enough about this guy to judge him though.

He sounds good... but I'd rather keep our draft picks and go after one of these guys... preferrably Corey Williams and/or Randy Starks...

[CargoJon]

According to the list posted above, this guy is a UFA, not and RFA....

Correct. With four years in the league he should be a UFA, not RFA.
