A&MPhin84 said:Yeah, prob. Even with Brees' big franchise cap hit, they have absolute scads of cap money to spend on their rooks, and they'd trim a few mil by trading Rivers if they could restructure his deal (which im assuming will happen if they trade him, otherwise the cap hit would be out-freakin-rageous lol)
Thats actually not a bad deal for either side IMO. Rivers is the talented young QB that Frisco desperately needs (and frees their 1st rounder up for another position) so he has plenty of value to them, and the 12th pick would allow them to take Barron (They have Kwame Harris, I know, but he sucks) or a playmaker for their D like Merriman, Johnson or Erasmus James. SD gets rid of their QB controversy and is then able to pick up a big-time playmaker to throw out there with McCardell, Caldwell, and whoever else they have (Eric Parker and Tim Dwight i think). I'd do this if I were either team...sounds solid all around.
