David Newton: Jimmy Garoppolo "never has been high on the team radar because he's not considered much of an upgrade from [Sam] Darnold"

In similar situations I think they're probably surprisingly similar. Yeah, Jimmy is better. Better enough to actually produce significantly better results? Honestly, I doubt it.

Jimmy G has a disturbing habit of folding in big moments.  I agree with you here…he isn’t going to be much better overall and brings bigger money.

Yep. He’s probably a bit better but nowhere near enough that we should consider him for anything other than trading Darnold for him straight up.

If they cut Jimmy G they only owe him $1.5M, Sams $19M is guaranteed, they'd never swap those contracts. Not sure what their angle really is because they probably want someone like Jimmy G as a backup veteran but not for $26M, and not sure who they could even pick up if they just cut him. Fitzpatrick? Bortles?

Jimmy G is $26M, Minshew is $2.5M and won't get booed out of the stadium

Money has nothing to do with it. If they feel Jimmy G is redundant to Darnold, you think they're going to say, but give me Minshew lmao - Cam would re-sign here before fool Minshew would be here

It has a lot to do with it when you're already on the hook to pay Darnold $19M.

If not for that, He maybe could have got around 5 million type of proven it deal. These 5th year deals have caused teams to make mistakes.

And if Jimmy G wasn't a $26M cap hit the 49er's wouldn't be trading him in the first place. Jimmy G isn't looking forward to the pay cut when he is released either lol.

Then they can cut him or trade him elsewhere and we’ll give them Darnold for a 7th rounder and we’ll eat half the salary

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.

      Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
