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

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
