Where will Jimmy G end up next season?

[DJ Fieri]

Good point though that last part might rule out the Browns if they are even interested.

They throwing away a season then.

Not even saying it's not possible.......I'd have preferred they work it out with Baker.

You guys have over 30 mill in cap space...

Yep....but need as much carry over as possible next year.

 

[PDay8810]

True. Even so, I doubt that a trade happens.

I never saw a trade this season. SF can compete with any team in the division now and has built in insurance should Lance show games are over his head at this time. SF would of needed to be blown away with an offer.

After what Cleveland did. You never know

Exactly, this isn't about keeping Jimmy G. It's about their insecurities about Trey Lance. If they felt strongly about Lance, they would of cut him.

That's not true.

SF gets a quality backup. And by keeping him, they will now get a pick for him (comp pick). That comp pick could be as high as a 4th rounder. It made sense for them to do this all along once trading him didnt make sense.

What doesnt make sense is why Jimmy and his agent took this deal. Makes me think that no team with a questionable QB situation (NYG, NYJ, CLE ect) were even interested in him should he hit the FA market. Because that is basically what this move is saying. That Jimmy looked around the league and didnt see a soft landing spot for himself even if he were a FA.

 

[jarntt]

He should go to a team with shitty QBs like the 49ers

Prophetic...

You're nuts if you don’t think somebody would of signed him if he got released nobody was trading for his contract.

Anyway you twist it, they don’t fully trust Lance and they shouldn't or you're just completely stupid if you did. Keeping Jimmy G keeps them competitive he is at least a game manager thst doesn't make a lot of bad plays. And it gives more time to Lance

Yeah, this makes it easier to trade for him.

Especially, if a few weeks in a starter goes down and a team panicks.

The reason Jimmy G stayed, potential on the money knowing he has a great opportunity to start and the no trade clause where he decides where he goes.

He can waive to go to another team if a starter goes down and still audition for a job next season.

Could be, but it's such a cheap hedge, that it's a no brainer. Every team needs a good backup QB anyway.

Yeah, the Browns are an injury away from Dobbs or Rosen starting.....

Edit: Rosen is being cut apparently but could come to the practice squad.

I didnt say no one would sign him.

But obviously no one was going to sign him to be a primary backup. If a team like the Browns for instance would have had interest, he would have been cut today and not renegotiated his deal with the 49ers. Remember he had to agree to this new deal keeping him as a backup in a place that clearly didnt want him all that badly except in terms of what they could get for him. Because the Browns give him a way easier path to a decent contract next year than SF ever could.

It actually kind of worked out like it should have in the long run. Jimmy was a fucking idiot and screwed the 49ers by delaying surgery. Well now in the end the 49ers will get a comp pick, have a backup and the only real casualty in the whole situation is Garoppolo's contract next season. Because if he sits behind Lance all year like he is likely to do, he isnt getting crap on the open market next year. He now becomes the next Teddy Bridgewater in FA and not a guy who will be signed to be a starter.

Stop it. Saying he wouldn't get crap next offseason. LOL.

He'd still get a contract next offseason....but he'd get MORE if he went somewhere and started this coming season.....rather than sitting behind Jimmy G.

That's exactly what I was saying. It's kind of perfect that the only one hurt by his poor offseason choices now is basically him.

You think anyone is going to offer Jimmy a starter's job next offseason if he sits all year behind Lance? Not likely.

Sure, if they needed him to.

Not like he's Trubs or Winston coming off a horrible season in Tampa.

 

[broncosmitty]

Yeah, this makes it easier to trade for him.

He now has a no trade clause.

Which seems like it would be harder to trade him.

just means he chooses where he goes
