As I posted a few days ago...the Niners were interested in Boston...they signed him:

QuoteSAN FRAN INKS BOSTON

Eight days after one of the most notorious receivers in the NFL arrived in Oakland, the Raiders' rivals across the Bay have upped the ante.

Desperate to improve a receiving corps that hasn't been the since since T.O. fly the coop for Philly, the San Francisco 49ers have signed free-agent wideout David "Barry Bonds" Boston to a short-term deal, apparently with lots of incentive-based payments.

Boston has had an eventual couple of years. Drafted by the Cardinals in 1999, 'Zona made no effort to keep him in free agency after the 2002 season. The Chargers signed Boston to a big-money deal two years ago, but his one-year stay was marred by incidents ranging from obscene tirades aimed at the strength coach to making phone calls during a game to bolting early from the locker room after a game.

He was traded by the Chargers to the Dolphins a year ago as the Fins tried desperately to bolster their own fleet of pass-catchers. But a ruptured knee tendon knocked him out for the season, and he likewise got in hot water for allegedly assaulting an airport worker as he rehabbed his injury.

The Dolphins recently severed ties with Boston.

Boston once was regarded as one of the most promising receivers in the game, but an apparent obsession with the size of his upper body diminished his speed and effectiveness. Though he still has the potential to be a game breaker, he's essentially become a forgotten man in NFL circles.

And it remains to be seen whether the presence of Boston, who played at Ohio State, will affect the Niners consideration of Michigan receiver Braylon Edwards with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

Nipple rings are okay on the field, sharpies and pom poms are not.

It's convenient for him to be in San Fran.  Save money for travel to the Balco trial.

What are the odd's Robocop activates "destory Ken Dorsey mode" by the 2nd week in the training camp. Of course, thats just a few weeks before he gets suspended for the year for steroids and a few days before he tears in ACL again.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

The report regarding Boston was premature according to NFL Network. They mentioned the stories circulating the net and said they weren't true.

Sorry bout that.  :-[
