Better than SF getting nothing when he leaves in FA ...and they shed salary. Where they are going this year, they don't need him. I think he was part of the divided locker room too over Kap.

Wazzu Bill Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I will never understand how all pro players can be traded for meaningless late round picks. 6th round picks rarely ever amount to anything. I think if a team can gather a good handful of late round picks, one prospect is likely to turn out well. For an aging TE who hasn't been able to build a connection with your hopeful franchise QB, I think this trade makes decent sense for SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I certainly understand NE. Why not GB? just curious. What about NE vs GB? There is a collection of (fair-weather) GB fans at my workplace. I'm so sick of hearing them. When the Bills beat them last year, it was pure glory for me. I told them it was my Super Bowl. If it wasn't for that, I'd totally root for GB. But I just can't take all of their gloating. Edited November 3, 2015 by Rubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
