Niners sign Torrey Smith

[BLUE 1,026]

Per Rotoworld.com:

49ers signed WR Torrey Smith, formerly of the Ravens, to a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $22 million guaranteed.

This deal has been in place for a couple days. Smith gives Colin Kaepernick what he's desperately been missing outside: a speed threat who can run by a defensive back and score a long touchdown. In San Francisco, Smith will reunite with his mentor Anquan Boldin and stretch the field for he and Vernon Davis. Kaepernick's big arm and Smith's blazing speed should complement each other.

Meh dunno about this deal. Smith is a decent WR, but 22 million guaranteed seems high.

Yeah, not sure if Torrey is a legit #1 guy. Solid #2 guy but not sure if he can handle what comes with being a #1 guy coverage wise. The deal is a little pricey imo too

[Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014]

Overrated WR that can only run streaks and likes to drop passes. Bad signing at that price, imo.

Too high of a price for a guy who's invisible in so, so many games.

Does this mean Crabtree is most likely gone? I thought he would be a priority for the 49ers unless there is something going on behind the scenes with him.

Raiders are gonna sign Crabtree to make things right. Doubt anything is going on behind the scenes though. Crabtree just sucks

Always liked Crabtree and thought he could be much more. After his breakout year and that injury, not sure if he's the same guy. I can only hope that I'm wrong.
