Anyway, there's no way they could pull this off cap wise. They started the offseason about $20M under the cap. From what I understand they franchised Brees (so that's about $8-9M). Getting rid of Rivers would cost $14M against this year's cap. They would then need to sign Edwards ($6-8M), Surtain ($7M), their #28 pick ($2-3M), and the rest of their picks. From a simple calculation they would be about $20M over the cap. We could hold off on actually completing the trade until after June 1st and just draft players for eachother which would reduce Rivers cap number for the upcoming season to $7M but they would still be over $14M over the cap.
I dunno. I could see one of them sliding, for whatever reason. And if that RB slides that far, we probably wouldn't pick him anyway...for whatever reason.death7star said:if we trade down to the 12th we miss any chance of getting a big 3 RB.
all anyone has to do is look at the last game rivers played in (the all-star one) to understand that the kid makes things happen. I'd take the deal and squeal like a little girl!SkapePhin said:Why do you feel this way?
Rivers has a MUCH better college resume' than Smith, has better measurables, and can be had cheaper.. Id take Rivers over Smith in a heart beat.

He is from California, so it is 570.DolfanDaveInATX said:XTRA is 690, not 570.
Agreed. Rivers was my favorite Qb in last years draft so Im a fan of this trade but I think Id need to see a 3rd and 5th in there to make it worth for me.DonShula84 said:#2 pick and Surtain for Rivers and the #12? no way. They have to give us more than that.
