and if im not mistaken if we cut him we take a cap hit. if he's traded we dont. am i right?

I'm 95% sure we'd still take the cap hit. When we signed his contract, we paid him his guaranteed money. We owe him the money, so any money that we owed him for the year for his signing bonus we will still pay, which will be our cap hit. I'm not sure what his signing bonus is, but I do not think it's that much. However, better to at least get a 7th out of him than just letting him walk.

What if Spencer was actually healthy all year, and Baalke/Harbaugh purposely didn't play him so he'd STAY healthy to up his trade value, knowing they had young cornerbacks for the future?

LOL.

If they wanted to up his value, playing him would be the way to do it. You don't raise anyone's value by not letting them play.

It would up CK's value, they would wonder if he progressed, and all they would have to go on is his "potential"

Highly unlikely. If he came in and tossed a few easy TDs or ran a couple in, THAT would definitely up his trade value a little. But riding the pine behind a QB the majority of the league doesn't respect as a threat? No way.

Say what you will about Alex, but I don't think it's debatable that most other teams still doubt him. Having a QB sit behind him isn't going to raise that QB's value. Sorry.
