Smith to 49'ers?

[Pox 08]

How would a trade create anymore space than releasing him?

 

The other team picks up his contract.

Anyways...we have given Smith a lot of money. Why wont he restructure? Why won't he take less? WHo owes who.

 

Measure his production against other WRs in the league and he has not received ALOT of money.  He was paid less than his counterparts.  

[MadHatter]

NO. Trade one of your best players to the team that knocked you out of the playoffs?? BRILLIANT. Just cut him so he can either retire or sign with the Broncos.

Cut him and receive nothing over trade him and receive nothing? Brilliant strategy...not

I'm torn. I want Smitty to succeed, but living in the SF Bay Area...49ers fans are just some kind of insufferable you can't imagine.

Think of the Steelers fans that invade BOA all the time, but instead of frumpy losers from an awful industrial city, you get a shitty mix of youngsters with neck tattoos who vaguely remember back when their team was a dynasty but treat it like it was yesterday, and then arrogant rich kids from the suburbs wearing Kaepernick jerseys with espn magazine body issue posters on their wall.

Ugh...fug my life if this happens I'll never hear the end of it. Especially if he wins a ring there? All I'll ever hear is that he's more of a 49er because he won a ring there. Not to mention the non-stop talk of Cam not winning one with him.

I will completely abandon any hope of there being a god who loves me if this happens. Sorry guys, I would love a sixth but this simply cannot happen.

Who cares who he goes to... if he gets cut we eat the cap hit, a trade, and we don't have to worry about the cap... if he is gone and we can get anything for him AND not eat the cap, that is a win/win

guaranteed money

 

Doesn't matter.  The Panthers would still owe him his guaranteed money (signing bonus) and that money would be accelerated and included in this year's cap.  Cut or trade, it doesn't matter.  The cap hit is gonna be the same regardless.  You don't trade a signing bonus, you own that one no matter what.

Gm:Cam it's time to give your favorite toy and let Kaepernick have it

Cam: But he has so many toys already!

GM: Don't worry we'll go get you some toys from the Goodwill

Not sure that this is true.  If he is traded then the new team takes that contract.

Rumors are swirling that the #49ers are dangling a sixth-round draft pick to the #Panthers for Steve Smith. Could happen. Might not.

 

Is there a website link to their rumor section?  I could not find any mention.

The base, yes.  The signing bonus, no.

Salary-cap hits: The prorated part of a signing bonus will always count toward that year's cap. But because every dollar counts toward the salary cap, teams must add the remainder of a signing bonus if they cut or trade a player.

This was from Twitter, so I don't know.

If he played us in the NFCCG with SF and they won y'all can say goodbye to old uncle Montsta, because I will quite possibly murder the first SF fan I see.
