Three team deal:

Panthers get: Deshaun Watson

Texans get: #8, # 39, 2022 1st, 2022 2nd, 2023 1st Jimmy G

Niners get: Teddy Bridgewater 

So...the Niners get TB for literally nothing. A guy they apparently have interest in acquiring. They get rid of Jimmy G (and his contract) in the process. 

The Texans get a massive draft haul (three 1st round picks, multiple 2nd round picks) AND a QB who is definitely good enough to get them through until they find a replacement. Maybe they draft the future at #8 and put him on the bench behind JG for a year. 

Panthers get Watson AND get to keep some of their established players to make a run immediately. 
 

win/win/win.

The 49ers do not want to replace Jimmy G with Teddy. They want a guy like Teddy because Jimmy G is injury prone. Why on earth would they want to downgrade their QB??

How do you know they see him as a downgrade in their system? Even so...he’s an identical cap hit to JG this year and there is an out in 2022. It’s basically letting them wipe the slate clean after 2021 instead of paying JG thru 2022. If they want a 3rd round pick to make it feel even and it gets us DW then throw it in...who cares.

Yeah, but that situation never made sense.  They cannot afford to pay both Teddy and Jimmy G.  Thats a lot of money tied up in 2 mediocre QB's.

Exactly. I never bought the statement that they would bring in Bridgewater as a backup. They'd have 40+ million tied up in two mediocre qbs when they have more pressing needs like trying to resign Trent Williams. I think they view Garoppolo the way we view Bridgewater: not good enough and not worth the price tag but until they get an alternative on the roster it'll be a bit tough to move on right away. They figure they may as well explore buying low on Teddy, seeing if Shanahan can make something out of him and save some money in the process by jettisoning Garoppolo. But until they're fully ready to get rid of Garoppolo, they have to publicly pretend he's still their qb and they're just looking for backup options.

We know the Patriots are looking for a QB, and a minor rumor they may be interested in Teddy. 

We know the Patriots have interest in Jimmy G.

Rumor is the 49ers called about Teddy. Maybe they view him as a system fit without the injuries of Jimmy G.

Looking at the round Robin here, could we see a 3-team deal with Teddy to the 49ers, Jimmy G to the Patriots, pick/player from Patriots to Carolina?  Maybe the 49ers think they can get Teddy for a 5th, then trade Jimmy to Patriots for a 3rd?  The Patriots wanted Teddy last offseason, maybe he is their backup plan to Jimmy G?  

Just so many unknowns at this point, but I can say that this offseason has provided more talking points than normal. Thats made it more fun, because I hate dead periods of football talk.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
