Ok looking at the optimistic side of this now. We got the picks, and $20M more in cap space, which is easy to forget. If we had paid Hill what the Jets did, I'd be happier. But I'd still be nervous about putting all our eggs in that basket. We'd almost be guaranteed having to rebuild in a couple years when Hill declined and all the bills came due.
Also Hill's speed is still all there, but the last couple years he's had steadily more drops. He used to pull down everything in traffic. The huge drop at the beginning of the 49ers SB could have changed the complexion of the game. And last year he almost single-handedly lost us a couple games this year dropping easy passes that went for INTs in huge spots. He signed some endorsement deal for gloves last year that a lot of people thought contributed to it.
So he might already be on the decline in that aspect. We'll see.
