You?

The problem with trading for either receiver is that both are going to want a new deal, and we are strapped for cash. So part of the deal would have to be for us to send guy(s) with big salaries in the current season to free up enough cash to allow us to throw even more money at a position we've disproportionately spent on already this offseason. Neither the Hawks or the Niners are in much position to take on salary dumps, either, so even trading our first and players for either receiver without a pick in return would be out of the question, too.

As much as some want to dismiss the notion, I think we gave Kirk primary receiver money because they believe he can be the primary receiver. Can he be the guy? I don't know, and this might be the move that decides Baalke's fate as our GM.

I will be absolutely shocked if we trade for either guy this weekend. I'll agree that Hutch is the safest pick at 1, and given how we swung for the fences in FA, taking the base hit in the darft might be the wisest move.

I understand what you’re saying and I know how the salary cap works. But the one thing I don’t understand is how in the actual [BLEEP] LA manages to continue to spend big on multiple players with 100mil+ contracts and still beat the cap? I guess them shedding guys like Gurley and Goff  free up some room but there is still multiple guys that take massive hits out of their cap that are still on the team… Other than Kirk we really don’t have a player who is making ridiculous money and even Kirk is making normal wide receiver(top tier) money. I just don’t understand how they manage it. I would say the logical explanation is they are drafting really well but they are trading away half of their top picks on any given year. 

We had arguable the least talented roster and after one spending spree in FA we are broke… sucks to suck I guess.
