Do you think the Packers should kick the tires on a trade for WR Torrey Smith? He's 27 years old and has run 4.36 in the 40 yard dash. He's a really good deep threat.

Like in any trade, my question is what do they want for him?
He'd cost 8 million against the Packers cap, who recently let Sitton go just to free up the cap for next year's FAs so they can resign their own and Packers have a number of OL and OLBers which are very important to the Packers.
Also even if he can run deep well, can Rodgers hit him deep on the move well?
And is he willing to take less to be traded to a winning team?
When they were FAs, I felt like Smith might be able to help the Packers more than Cobb, because Smith's depth threat would open up the defense more for others, than Cobb in the middle... but that was when the offense was working right. Now I don't know...
It all depends on how much the 49ers want for him, and how much cap space for resigning other players he's going to take up to how much money is available. If he'd rework his deal to say a two year prove it deal, which cost a lot less then I'd be more interested.
