Trent Dilfer (QB), SF - TRADE
May 06, 2006
News: The Cleveland Browns traded Trent Dilfer to San Francisco for Ken Dorsey and an undisclosed draft pick of the Niners Friday.
View: Dilfer, publically, will arrive as the backup to Alex Smith in SF. But this trade tells us two things:
1) Charlie Frye is the undisputed starter this season in Cleveland; and
2) The Niners are even more suspect about Smith and his ability to start in the NFL. Dilfer can do the job (for the Niners, at least) with very little effort, despite his public acceptance of the mentor role in SF.
