Free agent defensive back Charles Woodson had a meeting with the NFC champion Niners in the Bay Area on Wednesday, according to his agent, Carl Poston. Also Wednesday, former Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Glenn Dorsey signed a two-year contract after meeting with the Niners. The deal could pay Dorsey up to $7 million with incentives, a person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms weren't announced. ''We are very pleased to add Glenn to our team,'' 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. ''Glenn brings great versatility to our defensive front, and we look forward to his contributions on the field and in the community.'' Dorsey was a regular starter for the Chiefs in his first four NFL seasons, then played in only four games last year as he was limited by a left calf injury sustained in a September practice. It eventually landed him on season-ending injured reserve in November, and the former first-round draft pick finished the season with seven tackles and no sacks. He is ready for a fresh start out West — with a Super Bowl team, no less. ''I really look forward to the opportunity,'' Dorsey said. ''I got the call from my agent and I hopped on a plane first thing.'' And animated defensive line coach Jim Tomsula was right there waiting to pick him up, ''and he was talking AP photo Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Matt Dominik, left, and coach Greg Shiano, right, pose with the newest Buccaneer Dashon Goldson during an NFL football news conference on Wednesday. 100 miles per hour.'' ''He basically told me I'm going to have the opportunity to compete and play,'' Dorsey said. ''That's all I need.'' When Dorsey was asked whether he ran into Woodson at team headquarters, he just chuckled and said, ''No, uh-uh, no.'' The 36-year-old Woodson, released by the Green Bay Packers in a salary-cutting move on Feb. 15 with two years remaining on his contract, has one important thing in common with 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh: They're both former Michigan stars. Woodson — an accomplished cornerback and safety — is plenty familiar with Northern California, too. He spent the first eight years of his career with the Oakland Raiders, who selected him No. 4 overall in the 1998 draft. Woodson has expressed that he hopes to play for a Super Bowl contender at this stage in his career. A 15-year NFL veteran and the 1997 Heisman Trophy winner, Woodson missed nine games during the regular season for Green Bay because of a broken right collarbone. But if he stays healthy, his ball-hawking defense could be a strong fit in a San Francisco secondary featuring Donte Whitner and Carlos Rogers— even at Woodson's age. Woodson, an eight-time Pro Bowler, won 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors and was the 1998 Defensive Rookie of the Year. ''Class. Professionalism. Incredible talent. Leader,'' Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers posted Wednesday on Twitter to describe Woodson. Goldson signed a $41.25 million, five-year deal that includes $22 million in guaranteed money, a person with knowledge of the contract told the AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Bucs didn't announce terms of the contract. Goldson is due to earn $8.25 million per season. Goldson was vocal about how he didn't want to stay with the 49ers on a one-year deal after playing each of the past two seasons on such short commitments. While Harbaugh said two days after the 34-31 Super Bowl loss to Baltimore that keeping Goldson long-term was expected to be a high priority this offseason, that no longer seems to be the thinking of the franchise as it looks to build on last season's run to the title game. A year ago, Baalke retained all 11 defensive starters as San Francisco defended its NFC West crown and took a bigger step by reaching the team's first Super Bowl in 18 years. Dorsey is eager to join that unit and get started in Vic Fangio's defense. ''I sat down with Justin Smith, he's a funny guy, has a lot of passion,'' Dorsey said. ''He just told me, 'Glenn, get ready to work hard.' He likes to talk about football, he lives football. I'm ready to get some of his knowledge and work hard.'' Dorsey said he will play nose tackle if asked. Isaac Sopoaga signed with the Eagles on Tuesday.

(AP) — Barry Zito and Bronson Arroyo each left their starts thinking they have more work to do before the start of the season. Some Giants youngsters had a good time all around. Zito allowed a run while pitching 3 1-3 innings and Arroyo gave up one earned run in four, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-5 Wednesday. Zito gave up five hits and struck out three for the Giants in an outing against the team the World Series champions rallied from a 20 deficit to beat in a best-offive NL playoff series. ''My first and last inning my timing felt pretty good but the middle innings it was hit and miss. I've got work to do,'' Zito said. ''The extra week is good. It is better to get the fatigue up.'' Bruce Bochy would like Zito to be a little more consistent. ''Zito was not quite as consistent with his command,'' Bochy said. ''He threw some great pitches but he missed pretty good on some pitches, too, but over- AP photo The Giants' Brandon Belt bats against the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday. all it was a pretty good outing for him.''

A day after losing three of the team's most productive defenders from last year when Oakland released defensive back Michael Huff and lost free agent linebacker Philip Wheeler to Miami and defensive lineman Desmond Bryant to Cleveland, the Raiders started the rebuilding process. ''We're excited to add three veterans through free agency, helping to create depth and competition on defense,'' general manager Reggie McKenzie said. ''We'll continue to add free agents as the opportunity surfaces.'' Oakland has only four returning defensive starters under contract in safety Tyvon Branch, linebacker Miles Burris and defensive linemen Lamarr Houston and Tommy Kelly. But Kelly could still be released as a salary cap casualty this offseason. Oakland ranked 18th in total defense and 28th in scoring defense last year in coach Dennis Allen's first season in charge but showed signs of improvement late in the year that led to the decision to bring back coordinator Jason Tarver for a second season. Tarver will have to work in quite a few new players into his scheme. All three of the new players will likely be in the mix for starting jobs with Maiava expected to replace Wheeler at outside linebacker after Wheeler got a $26 million, fiveyear deal from Miami with $13 million guaranteed. Maiava started 13 games last season for Cleveland with 30 solo tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and three passes defensed. Maiava has played 50 games over four seasons with the Browns after being a fourthround pick out of Southern California. Sims played just eight games last season for Cincinnati after beginning the year on the physically unable to perform list with a hamstring injury. He had 12 solo tackles and one interception as a reserve. He has five sacks in 60 career games. Hunter spent the past three seasons in Denver, sitting out last year with a triceps injury. But he has familiarity with both McKenzie and Allen. He played the first three years of his career in Green Bay where McKenzie worked in the front office. He then played in Denver in 2011 when Allen was defensive coordinator. Hunter has 11 sacks, three forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 88 career games with Green Bay, Detroit and Denver. March 24. The entry fee is $160 per team and each division is limited to 20 teams. Payout, based on a full field, will be $500 for first place, $300 for second and $200 for third.
