Filed to ESPN: 49ers trading a conditoonal 2015 4th-round pick to Buffalo for WR Stevie Johnson, per sources. Pick can become a 3rd.

Boom!

 

[DoobieKeebler]

Shut the fuck up.


I would have loved this move 2-3 years ago, but I guess it's time to say "Welcome Home, Stevie."

Just announced on KNBR .

The guy is out there sometimes but he has talent.

 

[Smart]

He's from San Fran and has gotten 1,000 yards three of the past four years. If that's true, it's a bargain. Even with Watkins, I would have kept him around if that's all Buffalo was gonna get.

Crabs
Boldin
Johnson
Lloyd
Patton
2014 rookie picked today

WR corps looking better!

 

[purguy12]

OMG I just saw it. This is a Great pick up. 27 years old. Yessssssssss Great Job Baalke

What is his contract status though? My guess is he is being paid something like 6-8 mil on his re-sign of two years ago and acts as an insurance policy in the event that Crab leaves. My question is how are we able to afford him?

 

[aaronlindstrom]

His contract runs through 2016 and it looks like the cap numbers will be the following, assuming they don't re-structure:

2014 - $5.675M
2015 - $6.025M
2016 - $6.125M

what's his contract look like?

 

[dredinis21]

Is it fair to say that I trust Baalke's ability to trade for WR then draft them?

 

[NinersFan80]

This is awesome. If he stays healthy he will be a stud in the slot hopefully. Does this mean we won't be picking a WR in the 2nd round now..

Johnson and Ward is a pretty good job so far in this draft..

 

[purguy12]

Is this Insurance for Crabtree leaving.

3.65 million for this year. has 3 years let

This is a fucking steal, he is a damn good WR and can play in the slot, we just found our 3rd WR

I think we'll still go WR at some point today.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Now draft Jordan Mathews from Vanderbilt who will be a superstar WR. The cousin of Jerry Rice. Get it done ! This is a no brainer.

 

[Badger8843]

This guy is only 27 and had 3 straight years from 2010-2012 with a 1,000 yards and 6+TD's, what a fucking steal

As a Bills fan, you guys are seriously raking Buffalo over the coals here. Words it out to the NFL after this...the Bills are there for the taking!

Want their best WR? 4th Round pick.

Interested in Mario Williams? Probably do that for like a 6th rounder in 2016.

CJ Spiller? That might be a 3rd round pick but could probably convince them to go for a 4th.
