Wilson elite trade target for 49ers; justifies multiple first-rounders despite Jets dead cap

Kyle Posey argues Wilson is a high-impact trade target for the 49ers despite $6.75M dead cap through 2029 and $4M in 2030 if traded by the Jets. The cap savings ($16.5M in 2027, over $29M in next two years) and Wilson's elite skill set—he can run any route and has no learning curve—make him ideal for Kyle Shanahan's offense. Posey frames Wilson as a franchise cornerstone who would eliminate receiver depth concerns and justify multiple first-round picks in 2027–2028.
