The Associated Press's Steve Reed reports "the Panthers are still interested in" Jimmy Garoppolo.

As was just reported on the connection between Carolina and Baker Mayfield, the issue is money. A team trading for either quarterback would inherit their salary, and neither is cheap. Garoppolo is set to make $24.2 million this year, and almost all of that will be shifted to his new team if no changes are made. Reed noted that a trade partner would need to "pick up a large portion of their salary" for Carolina to make a deal. For now, it looks like Garoppolo and Mayfield are stuck on their current teams.

I mean come on peeps...coming off injury and nothing being done during or right after the draft, the price should be going down on him.  Hopefully we stay patient.  We can basically swap out final years with Darnold and Jimmy (or if it's Baker), I don't believe there's a market of a team willing to eat that 2022 money, especially when it can easily become rollover cap without a move.  Let SF and CLE suffer unless they eat these contracts.  

Is Jimmy & Corral much different than Darnold & Corral? No, but if we can manage a swap, it's at least novel. This is something the staff would do to roll the dice somehow but it depends on how low 49ers are willing to go.  

It's something to really just be indifferent about at this point.

Id take Jimmy G. Having a veteran with that kind of experience on this roster would be helpful for the youth. 

we had him.  his name was Teddy.   and Jimmy G would just be our #1 QB.   QB discussion over.

There is no reason to give up draft picks or pay a lot of the salary of Mayfield or Garapalo. What's that going to do? Get us to six maybe seven wins and keep Corral on the bench? What's the point. At the very least, wait until they have to be cut. It's like we are playing chicken w/ Seattle right now.

In all seriousness though, if SF is picking up most of the salary and Carolina is giving up like a 5th or later, then I guess whatever.

SF can cut him and only owe him $1M, like $25M of his salary isn't guaranteed. Don't see why they'd eat $10-15M for a 5th round pick. Maybe agree to an extension and trade but I'd really not want to do that with an average QB coming off shoulder surgery. We on the other hand are negative $30M in cap next year and shouldn't be investing $40M in a Darnold/Jimmy G/PJ/Corral QB battle

Problem is the Panthers know neither guy would sign here as a free agent, which should turn them off on wanting them at all but here we are.

A game of poker is being played- JimmyG = 24 mill and Mayfield = 19 mill.

Seems both teams want to move them, but cannot come to terms about the salary part. 

HOLLLLLLLLDDDDDD!!!

 Let them sweat it out.....Pure BS of the reports that Browns are only willing to pay 3.5 million, LOLOLOLOLOLololol. 49ers are in a  similar deal, giving 3 firsts for QB that needs to sit for 2 years......bruh. They may have to cut Jimmy and take the 3 dead cap hit. HOOOLLLLLLLLLD finesssererer just like you are doing, they are playing dumbass games.

Interesting.  If he still has an arm he could at least put Sam on the bench.  Should make it tolerable for those of you that get triggered at the site of Darnold. 

I'd just rather get Matt Corral on the field by midseason.  That seems more fruitful and has more purpose.   I think adding these guys stops that from happening.

      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.
