I would rather get another player. A 7th rounder is not near enough for a guy who can start for many teams or at least be a number 3 guy across the league. (to include the 49ers) A 7th rounder is special teams fodder, not a decent CB.
Just to get something for Spencer along with his 3 mil contract would be surprising. That's why I'd just take a 7th round pick if we could. But in the end, I see Spencer being released, no team is gonna pick up his 3 mil too, although he could be a #3 on a lot of teams.

3 million for 1 year isn't that bad. There's even the possibility of renegotiating and adding another year or two but with a more favorable deal for the team. We'll see what happens but with so many teams having multiple 6th and 7th rounders this year, I could someone biting.

and if im not mistaken if we cut him we take a cap hit. if he's traded we dont. am i right?
As far as I know, we don't take a cap hit. I remember reading that from AB in one of his other topics.
Correct. It use to be different, but no longer. Trades and Releases result in same cap hit, which is zero, since he has no signing bonus pro-ration left, and a 100K workout bonus, which wouldnt trigger.
He was solid for us and to see his time with us conclude like this is rather sour and unfortunate but I suppose its the name of the game. Some team will get a pretty good CB if he didn't lose a step.
Always liked Spencer. Thought he would be eventually beat T.Brown out but competition brings out the best. We will trade him for a conditional pick. I think he will do great IF he stays healthy. Glad he got to see a good yr with us tho
Shawntae!
