I would think the 49ers wouldn't be that stupid to trade a dominant defensive player who only missed one game to pay a TE. I mean Lynch obviously is a D guy and Kyle even is a D guy if it make sense. He agreed that Mario Williams was the best pick over a offensive player when he was at the Texans.
The only sense for the Defo trade was to be able to pay more players. Since Kittle is expecting much more than they are willing to pay, then I could see a trade happening. Nobody should ever break the bank for a fukking TE.
People keep forgetting that the 49ers WR corps have been trash for quite some time. I mean TO played for them how many years ago and they never had a dominant WR since then.
Just think about it. If the WR core was better Kittle would not have to pick up the slack. He would be doing regular TE duties which is mostly to block and get open on 3rd pass plays or be open if no WR is.
I mean would you rather pay an AB type WR(non headcase one) or a TE?
