We can't keep everyone. Say we kept Stevie to go with Torrey and Boldin plus we draft a WR. How do we get everyone playing time. Plus we also have Ellington and this could be Patton's last chance. It wouldn't be fair to say u get one more chance Patton but ur our #6 WR.
I wouldn't mind bringing him back at a lower price tag. This draft has a ton of we talent. Stevie is not going to have a chance to be more than the 3rd or 4th option right now. He's not worth much when that's his ceiling.
Not unexpected. Boldin and Smith are the starters. I want to give Patton and Ellington PT. Also, Niners will probably draft a WR. It would have been a crowded situation.
But wait, didn't he sign a three-year contract with the 49ers? How dishonest of them to release him after only one year like that. How "Borland Like" of them.
