Why wouldn't we trade our second for Surtain???!!!

A player at #8 is almost as expensive as Surtain..and we don't even know if he's a good player... as I mentioned..if we were to go through lets say..the last ten drafts and looked at corners picked close to #8 I bet almost none of them did as well as Surtain... also rookie corners aren't usually that great.. he'll probably take time to adapt to the NFL which means it will be more of an investment than intant production..so in a way he might be more expensive if you think that you might have to throw away yrs pay on him...

But trade for Surtain and we have to pay both the #8 and Surtain. We are outta cap space, fellas.

Not at all, we have around 7 million in cap space, and thats after 4 million has been taken out for the rookie pool. We could make the deal for Surtain, and Henry, and possibly resign Boldin with some creative financing and a few trades and cuts. BUT, I think we are out of bonus money. Next year, will be the year we see the big signing frenzy, with the new stadium revenue.

Really? I could have sworn we were only about 2 mil over the rookie cap.

That's why I said, if it's true, that we could always trade our first for a second and a third or something like that...it would still be Surtain instead of a corner at 8 and 2 mill a yr more... I think it would be worth it... we could probably keep both, but as mentioned, it would take creative financing which we probably wouldn't be able to do...
