Nope not touching him. To old, To big cap number.

 

Cap number is nothing - as others pointed out, he'll count $2.5 mil against the cap this year. There's no way in the world he sees the rest of his contract beyond 2016 with any team.

 

If they get him, he's instantly No. 1.

For Pete's sake - salary cap is not an issue for any team considering T Smith.

 

'49ers eat all the prorated cap, including his roster bonuses from 2016. In 2016 Bills would only be on the hook for the remaining salary of $2.5 million over 9 games.

 

After the season it will be up to the team to cut him or to restructure.

A trade is going to be the only way to get a decent vet WR on this team, IMO. No decent WR is going to sign here freely in FA because of the run based offense unless you way overpay. Torrey's contract is less than we would pay In FA to sign someone good. We need a real #2 WR and looking at next year I like the idea of Sammy, Torrey, Hunter plus a rookie. Might as well do it now instead of later since we have few viable options at the position due to injury. Cap hit is minimal.

and worth stressing that when looking at the down the line cap hits on spotrac -- those are the niners that include the prorated bonus. if traded, they would all come down.

 

essentially youd be making the decision to move on from woods (who will get a nice contract and may net us a 4th round comp pick to help offset whatever we send)

Don't know about the out years, $8 mil/yr is a bit much for Torrey. Will definitely have to restructure.

We won't find a number 2 for less than what he's making. And he is young enough to extend and lower the cap hits for the next few years.

 

I could get behind this idea. He is not just a deep threat either. He is a good player.

 

Better receivers have been traded for much less than even a 3rd rounder. I'm not trading anything rounds 1-3. And I'm only trading a 4 if we can work out a restructure/extension beforehand.

 

Straight up, he's worth a 5th rounder.

hed essentially be a 3 year 22.5m contract after this season, with no guaranteed dollars. the 7.5m average would place him 24th in the league at WR
