They traded him for a guy that better fits this team you dumbass.

Jenkins never was active for a game Alex Played in. He was only active for 3 games. All with Kaep.

Chiefs Planet Lexicon. Come on!

you are such a complete moron

Damn man, use a spoiler tag when you post nasty shit like that. Reported

Play action with Kapernick and let him throw it deep to Baldwin. That would play to Baldwin's strengths.

Worst case is that he's actually worse than Baldwin, which he's been up to this point.

I always saw far more Tory Holt in Jenkins than Djax. Hes not quite as quick as D jax.

Oh, FFS...getting a used condom for Baldwin would have been a great trade.

Baldwin still has to catch the thing.

Update: "It was revealed today that Peter King's sources consist of 3 circus monkeys & a recently fired GM from Kansas City."

LMAO Jenkins wasn't making the Niners. They could have had both if they weren't going to release Baldwin. #getaclue

Meh. Baldwin had no place on the starting line the second Bowe wasn't traded.

What's stupid about it? He clearly wasn't going to work out here.

Speed isn't just about running fast straight ahead.

Jenkins is much quicker in and out of his cuts and can get into the intermediate zones better. If you have him run a drag route from the slot, for instance, he'll likely be able to get and keep his separation as he crosses the middle (with Smith hitting him on the rollout as he clears the interior linebacker).

Baldwin couldn't get that separation; the nickle CB could break right on him and stay with him all the way.

We can use his speed.

Eh - hope one mans trash is your treasure. Doesn't seem like a bad move for either team

Are we now rid of his salary? I bet Jenkins is a little cheaper.

Exactly. He was going to be cut. Now we have another 1st round WR who if he doesn't work out either, no harm done.

Yeah, well, as a positive guy, I defended this guy to the death. I said, he will come around, and well, he didn't. I don't mind the trade so much, but I think the 49ers got the upper hand in this one........

Once again, your inability to be right about anything...ever...makes me not too terribly broken up by this.

Yep, exactly.

It seems likely that Jenkins will be able to replace Baldwin's production. Or at least it's unlikely that he'll produce less.

Like league minimum cheaper.

all the initial signing bonuses and guaranteed money stay on the books of the original team. The rest doesn't matter much.

If Baldwin can't catch Matt Cassell/Alex Smith passes, I don't see how he's catching Kaep passes.

Crap for Crap. End of analysis.

each time you open your mouth the world gets a little dumber.

Baldwin sucked...couldn't catch the ball. That wasn't going to change. Jenkins is faster, quicker and he can catch the ball. He has done nothing in one year, but he was terrific in college. Baldwin was always a project. Some projects don't work out. Trade his ass and move on.

If AJ doesn't work out, what exactly did we just lose?

If they really wanted this trade, ask for a 1 round drop in the alex smith trade compensation owed

I see nothing beneficial w/ bringing jenkins aboard

I'm already in the 'let andy reid coach up alex smith/dexter mccluster/knile davis' camp, just don't know how many tents I can pitch in the same campsite ya know?

ROFL

Baldwin was a stud in college.

Wait, what?

Well. I dunno, some times you have to catch Kaeps passes in self defense. That might actually help Baldwin. They say he has big strong hands. Kaep is going to test that theory.

Baldwin is $2.0MM+ for 2013 was his cap hit and ~$2.3MM in '14. I think Jenkins Cap would be about a wash with Baldwin

Glad to see him go...

Now CP will think Baldwin is the second coming of Jerry rice

Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl 16s

Trade makes perfect sense from #Chiefs standpoint: Reid prefers speed on outside. Jenkins will give them that right away.

Ashes to ashes. Bust for bust.

nothing ... crap for crap,

only risk is that if one of the team misused/wrongly evaluated one of the players and just traded away talent.

Maybe both players fit better and it works for each team.

ummm...no. Jerry Rice was a happy camper with a great workout ethic..Baldwin is just the opposite.

Baldwin can't catch and gets clowned by smaller and less talented CB's.

The NFCW DB's will tear him a new one...

He is going to out-run Alex's arm.

Need Bray in there to get the ball to him downfield.

The best thing about this trade.

For the Chiefs, now Donnie Avery will actually see some time with the 1's

Current thread winner...

Knowing our luck, he'll be a first ballot HOFer

Nothing to see here.

No he isn't. Opposing teams proved that playing him physical, and he goes no where. You touch him and he falls over.

ROFL

I don't think the Niners 'really wanted' this trade.

We both hard parts we knew we weren't going to use. SF wasn't going to give anything of real value for Baldwin.

The only question I have is what Jenkins cap figure is. Is it possible the Chiefs could've been better off just releasing Baldwin outright and using the case space on Brandon Lloyd?

I figure the Chargers will price him out of our bracket, but there are still a couple of moves (like extending Berry) that could free up some space for a run at Lloyd. But it seems fairly apparent at this point that the Chiefs aren't interested.

The Chiefs weren't going to get anything for Baldwin. They weren't going to get SF to trade down from the 2nd to the 3rd. They were unlikely to be able to get a 6th for him. His value is essentially zero so they flipped him for another lottery ticket.

Again, changing mis-matched parts is generally a good idea. If it doesn't work out, you're not out anything. The opportunity cost on a Baldwin trade is almost certainly nothing more than a 6th/7th round pick.

Q

Herp...

Avery and Jenkins definitely allow us to put more speed on the field

AJ Jenkins is mediocre at best. Didnt get on the field very much last year.

Dropped his only target last season.

Fumbled his first catch in preseason this year.

Gimme Baldwin. We have nothing to lose at this point. If he has anything at all in the tank, it should be better than what we've gotten from AJ.

Which is nothing.

This. Jenkins was significantly faster than Baldwin in the shuttle and 3-cone.

Dammit.I looked twice. How did this happen?

Two threads, two hookers, and blow. Day is complete.

one or two of these UDFA no named WRs (Richardson, Hammond, etc) is definitely going to make the team now based on their speed

We feel the same way.

Qlicious

Week two is going to be rough on Baldwin......Browner will kill him.

Sounds like Baldwin

Flip the names. Same damn thing.

I'm assuming no fullback was available?

We got ****ed again by the 49ers.

LMAO you will hate Baldwin more, he looks like he could be the best receiver in the NFL but is probably the worst.

Boy, are you going to be disappointed.....

Yea man. There's some STUD db's in the NFCW. He better bring a lunch cause he's not going up against Eric Weddle or Stanford Rout.

Harbaugh will turn Baldwin into an all pro.

Can't be anymore dissapointed than I am in AJ.

does do that.

:hmmm: NOT REALLY.

Well, bye

He revived Alex Smith's career. You gotta think anything is possible with this guy.

Where are all the Baldwin defenders now that give him a pass every season

jumping off the wagon finally? willing to eat crow? come and get it

Do you gain cap by cutting players with guaranteed money?

Baldwin had like 2.Xm in cap this year but 3.Xm in dead money.

going by Dorsey's track record, we will find out later today that we actually trade Bowe to the 49ers for Jenkins.

double edged sword.

Alex Smith was a very hard worker. No one even the haters can dispute that. From all accounts, Baldwin is a lazy piece of crap.

And, It wasn't like Harbaugh was able to turn Aj Jenkins into a stud. No matter how good the coach is. There is a matter of want that goes with it.

Physically, not mentally.

meh

they both look like turds

I just wonder who is better at polishing turds.,....If mother****ing Harbaugh turns Baldwin into a stud I will cry.
