The 49ers have signed top rookies Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati to five-year contracts. Davis' five-year deal is for $26.5 million, with $15.954 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN Insider Adam Schefter. San Francisco also signed rookie safety Taylor Mays and rookie linebacker Navorro Bowman to four-year deals Friday.

Vernon Davis is seeking a five-year, $40 million contract from the 49ers. Rival tight end Antonio Gates became the richest tight end in NFL history by signing a new deal with the Chargers on Wednesday, which helps the case of Davis. Chronicle Live host Greg Papa asked Davis on Tuesday whether he expects to have a contract extension agreed upon before the start of the season. "I'm sure it'll get done, but I can't go into camp worrying about it," Davis said. "I have to move on and try to get better."

Anthony Davis could be the first member of the first round to be signed. The 49ers recently made a strong offer, but nothing is imminent.

The 49ers sent Vernon Davis to London as part of a publicity tour ahead of their game at Wembley on October 31st. Davis also has played a big role in PR events in regards to the franchise's new stadium proposal in Santa Clara. The contract of Davis expires after the 2010 season.

Shaun Hill has signed a deal with the Lions that will keep under contract through the 2011 season and other terms were not disclosed. The Lions got the nine-year veteran in a March trade with the San Francisco 49ers, who received a 2011 draft pick.

The 49ers have a number of players in line for possible contract extensions and tight end Vernon Davis appears to be the top candidate. "Davis is seeking to become the highest-paid tight end in the league at $8 million per season, NFL sources say. It's doubtful the 49ers will go that high," Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area writes. "The 49ers have already given [linebacker Patrick] Willis a five-year, $50 million extension this offseason. With no collective bargaining agreement in place, it's a delicate situation for teams to sign players to long-term deals."

Former 49ers tight end Eric Johnson is dating pop star Jessica Simpson, according to TMZ.com. Simpson used to date Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Johnson filed for divorce from his wife in February and the couple have been together since May.

Scot McCloughan is no longer with the 49ers, but he has gotten his life back by reducing his workload. He is now working for the Seahawks. ?I understand now that the job can?t consume your life,?? the 39-year-old said last week. ?I?m still young, and I still love football. But it was consuming my life, and it?s just not as important as your health or taking care of your family.?? He acknowledges now, ?I got spread so thin, I could never catch up.?? ?I got almost numb,?? he added. ?And I had no one to blame but myself. I was losing my family, and I sat back and had to think about that. As we know in this business, jobs come and go. Family doesn?t. Those three kids, you?ve got a chance to impact their lives, and I wanted to be a part of that.??
