Another user trade

49ers receive:
WR Lance Leggett (90 overall, 32 years old)

Patriots receive:
QB Cam Newton (85 overall, 28 years old)

49ers incur a $3.16 mil cap hit next season to turn an originally $4.47 mil cap hit into $7.08 mil this season
Pats incur a $3.66 mil cap hit next season to turn an originally $8.30 mil cap hit into $2.89 mil

The 49ers would like to go back to a balanced/pocket QB, and given their cap space and need for a WR after Andre Johnson's retirement, they get what they want.

The Pats have cap space issues, and given Leggett's production hasn't matched his contract, he was the player Jukkie put on the trade block. This frees roughly $5.5 mil in cap space they can use toward rookies/free agency, and they get a starting-caliber QB in Cam Newton on a deeply discounted contract.

Both parties, sort of (I was shown some screenshots that suggested as much), demonstrated they knew what both sides wanted and what the financial implications were. The trade is official.
