No receiver in the game is worth $17.5M a year. They could have at least made the details a bit more believable.

They were being kind, they didn't want to cause harm when we thought it was true or found out that it wasn't. They were being obvious to show mercy on us. This kind of shows that pranks are not for them, they blinked.

Another April Fool's Article (no I don't have any interest in trying to make this one seem real - plus, I'm not the author. PLUS, if I posted this as a new thread, despite the obvius April Fool's Day, we'd get references to this article throughout the year to plant the seed that Harbaugh doesn't like Kaep - just to prop up Alex Smith.)

San Francisco Losing Faith in Kaepernick

In the comment section, I added some to make it more ridiculous (but possible):

Niners Confirm Injuries to Two QBs - "A source in the 49ers organization confirms the team may seek disciplinary action against coach Jim Harbaugh after a bonding event he organized went awry, leaving the team without two of its signal-callers for the season. Furthermore, the insurance companies for the quarterbacks are declining coverage for non-football activities not protected by the player's insurance plans. Three quarterbacks on the Niners' roster participated in a racquetball tournament at the coach's request, although none had previous playing experience. According to witnesses, top backup Colin Kaepernick took a particularly hard swing that apparently struck starter Alex Smith in the eye, shattering his protective goggles and requiring season-ending surgery for the newly re-signed veteran. The blow also tore several of Kaepernick's elbow tendons; the second-year player will visit Dr. Frank Jobe today. A court appointed arbitrator is set to hear whether the racquetball game was team-related. The team argues that the game was one in which the 49ers organization was not involved. The decision to play racquetball was Jim Harbaugh's choice as an individual, not representative of the Niners. Alex and Kaepernick may have felt compelled to participate due to Harbaugh's insistence on competition in everything, in fear that declining participation would result in Josh Johnson ruining the season for all with his 1-2 TD/Int ratio. Ironically, the "accident" leaves the team with Josh Johnson and Scott Tolzien its only quarterbacking options - the exact result on which Smith and Kaepernick were trying to avoid."

Megatron maybe???

Megatron maybe???

I wouldn't. WR's as single players don't impact the game enough to be worth that much of the salary cap. Johnson is a great player, and one of the best WR's in the game, but he needs somebody to throw the ball to him, somebody to block for the guy throwing to him, somebody to run to take some of the coverage off of him, and somebody to play defense. If the Lions start thinking about giving a WR that much money, I guarantee they'll never fix their problems on defense.

Didn't the Lions sign him to a huge mega-deal? Think he's getting 16+ a year now.

 

[numone9er]

No way we could afford him with our salary cap situation anyways. Terrible joke.

On a related topic NFL.com just reported that Michael Crabtree was a good draft pick.

That's a terrible April fools joke. They aren't fooling anyone.

I wish I could see Mike Wallace's reaction...

That would be a bad idea. Detroit went 10-6 with an all world WR and a pro bowl QB. We went 13-3 with garbage at both. Giving a guy who averages 6 touches and 1 TD a game that kind of money is suicide.
