Brutal trade. Smith is overpriced and declining.

Well, not that horrible.  He only makes 5 mill but we do take on some salary.  He has speed so not a terrible deal.  Hurney doesn't believe in Worley apparently and I don't think he is a huge loss to be honest.  We needed a speed WR and he is one.

So, we traded for a guy who is 29, and last year had 36 receptions for 430 yards and 2 TDs? Sure, he ran the 40 in 4.43, so he's fast, but 7+ years after the combine, I don't put much stock in that number.

 

And we gave up a young CB whom I felt still had upside and was learning. Not sure I like this at all.

We’ve got young WR talent.  Needed a vet. Worley sucks.  Love it.

Why trade young talent for an older player about to be released?

That's where my biggest question lies. I thought we were trying to get younger.

And yes, he was set to get released. Guess we just helped the Eagles (Johnny Rockets should chime in).

It was expected that we might go after a veteran receiver, but 29 is a little more veteran that I might have expected.

I do like Torrey Smith though. I guess he is in a Cotchery mode, though faster.

Why not trade Worley for Darby though?

So now two of the three corners Gettleman drafted in 2016 are gone. Wow. What a terrible draft

For the better part of two seasons, the Huddle hated Worley except Saca. 

Now that he's gone for a speedy deep threat, they're mad? Jesus Christ, make up your fuging minds you mindless clowns.

only hurney could trade our #2 CB for a player who would be cut and probably signed for less than what his current contract is.... the windows closed boys, we are not doing poo this year. Loook up the 2014 49ers..... that is what we are staring down the barrel at gentleman.

So the Huddle whines when we let Ginn go.  And the huddle gripes that Worley is terrible and we must replace him.  So we go out and trade for another Ginn (who the Huddle loves) while getting rid of Worley (who the Huddle hates)...and the Huddle reacts by blaming Hurney for picking up a loser and getting rid of all pro Worley.  

 

Makes sense.

Hurney could trade Matt Kalil for Antonio Brown and I'm 100% certain there would be half dozen people bitching about what an idiot he was 

[Rags]

On top of that some of you guys out n out hated Worley 

Now you're bitching because we finally added a WR that's worth something.

All you guys bitched about was a Vet WR. We got one!!! And you still aren't happy.

FA hasn't even started yet and somehow "we're done that's all we needed at wr lol fug Hurney."

Holy poo you people are children.

If Bradberry has another season like last he might be next..... Yikes.

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm less upset about losing Worley and more upset about absorbing the contract of a guy who would have been cheaper on the open market. 

Of course if he were to hit the market he would need to be convinced to sign here, which could be why we pulled the trigger because Hurney doesn't have faith that he could convince a FA WR to join the squad. 

I don't know how I feel about this honestly. I think I'm too biased against Hurney to consider it a good move. 

[KDawg004]

Watching what Hurney does at CB/S is going to be interesting.

I was opposed to signing Moncrief because I wanted all our resources allocated to Watkins. Now after this move I would like to bring him in on the cheap.

We have been discussing a need for a vet experienced WR for months.  When it happens everyone is dumbfounded.

Fair enough... can definitely see where you're coming from. Me personally though, I'm going to reserve judgment until we see how this all plays out with contract, ability to see the field, etc. I'm hopeful this was a good trade, but not too certain right now.
