Ouch. On the heels of Takeo Spikes’ departure from the 49ers, the Niners lose another free agent in center David Baas, who’s signed with the New York Giants. Beat writer Daniel Brown at the Mercury News notes it was a surprise, especially since Baas flew out from his home in Florida to toil during unofficial workouts at San Jose State in June.
Also: Steve Young said he thought veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was headed to the 49ers. But no. He signed with Tennessee (3 years, $21 million) to help groom first-rounder Jake Locker.
