What are they doing? Honestly, they are giving Cam nothing to throw at and clearly teams are looking. They'll probably trade up today and take Hyde.
As much as I have to question Carolina's plan, I fully expect them to add another WR in the next three rounds.
The Bills take a $8.5M cap hit.
Why is a 8.5 cap hit? Honest question. I know nothing about the salary cap and how it affects trades.
Panthers couldn't afford the contract that Stevie has, even with the Bills taking a big chunk of it.
His signing bonus 2 years ago was $8.5, but 2/5s of it had been allocated out of any potential cap hit, right? The cap hit should only be $5.1m, then.
My first thought as well. Niners took the kid in the 4th despite a small-school pedigree so they've got to believe he's got some talent, but every move they've made since makes it seem like they want no part of him.
It would have to be. Since he was traded, they can't designate him a post June 1 guy, right?
He was already on thin ice on my roster as I've been assuming SF goes WR with a pick in round 2 or 3. Adding Stevie clinches it. Sure Boldin is getting old and Crabtree's contract will expire before long (may re-sign), but there were never any guarantees with Patton in the first place and using the roster spot for 1-2 more years in the event that maybe he'll be fantasy relevant is a waste. Too bad, I thought he was a pretty good prospect when I drafted him and SF has talked him up at times.My first thought as well.

Hey, maybe they'll trade him to the Panthers!
Yes and yes.
He got on the field last season and showed flashes. More than can be said about AJ Jenkins or Jon Baldwin in SF.He was already on thin ice on my roster as I've been assuming SF goes WR with a pick in round 2 or 3. Adding Stevie clinches it.

Stevie has had one of the highest target rates the last several years and is in the top 5 for drop rate. Fitzpatrick may not have been a great QB, but he targeted the heck out of Johnson. If anything, he's been a beneficiary of his circumstances.He got on the field last season and showed flashes.

I think he's a victim of circumstance. SF is a smart organization. They saw an opportunity to get a quality player for cheap and they took it.

I think he can be a great piece for SF, but he's not suddenly going to be putting up 1400 yards and 10+ TDs.

The link to the actual interview is down now so it can't be heard in context but those are some very bad quotes to read.
