True but then look at those 2 teams' QB situation.

It's all intertwined.

The Chiefs not only have their QB, he's one of the highest paid players in the league. The Dolphins could afford to buy WR's because their QB is still on his rookie deal. ****, Tua's base salary this year is a million dollars. Look at this way - the cap situations are so different that the Dolphins were actually able to buy Tyreek away from us. We sold because he was too expensive, they bought because they could afford it.

As for the 49ers, they were free to invest whatever they wanted in WR's. They have a highly drafted guy still on a rookie contract, a backup with the potential to start on a rookie contract and they've really never spent money on the QB position. Jimmy G got them to a SB for crying out loud.

So in summary, our situation is not at all like Seattle's or the 49ers. Both teams arguably still need a QB so talking about WR's in that context is apples and oranges.
