Having Mathews, Richardson, Norwood, and lockette developing, I see Kerse fitting in and taking ADB's reps. We can pay him 2 with ADB gone.
Hate to shoot you down but that's an uber-optimistic outlook on things. Matthews could very well be a one-hit wonder, Richardson looks likely to miss some time. Norwood has shown nothing to make anyone think he can realistically develop into a larger role and Lockette's development years are behind him, he turns 30 next year. Doug Baldwin is our only legitimate starting receiver save maybe Richardson.
Our WR corps is in need of an overhaul. If we manage to land one of the bigger vet WR's who become available as well as getting a guy in the first couple of days of the draft then I can see Kearse being let go.
Of course there is a chance to land Kearse on a lower deal, but he might get a nice offer from another team. I'd be a little surprised if he did, I could see him signing with us for something like 2 years/$3m.
