What downside to the 'Niners?  They got him for a conditional 7th round draft pick (meaning they lose nothing if he is cut).  [I presume you mean the downside is if the kooky conspiracy theory is somehow revealed as "the truth."  But if that's the case, the NFL has a lot more to worry about than how the 'Niners would be impacted by this.

As for upside?  I agree there is not much . . . well, other than being in the good graces of Roger Goodell.  Who knows how much that might come in handy down the road.

Look, I said I didn't believe it - was just relaying a cynical conspiracy theory someone offered.
