If the trade value is reasonable, he would be a solid option. You wouldn't be on the hook for a big salary increase until 2027. At that point, he is easy to jettison if it didn't work out.

I just don't think he is going to be cheap and I don't think we are going to be a team that bids highly enough for his services in a trade scenario. 

Him being cut(highly unlikely) is even worse. Now you gotta outbid everyone in the NFL. That's even worse.

You think he'd be happy here?

No thanks.

Let the young guys develop. You'll be able to trade at least one of them for a big haul in a couple of years.

Yeah this isn’t the way to go IMO. Too many other fish to fry.

I think that is a price and attitude thing. Reportedly he was a bit of a handful for Shanahan, although admittedly not enough to not sign him to that big deal.

I also think this may be much ado about nothing. If we plays this season, I suspect they will likely not move on from him.

Sounds like he's disgruntled about something. Do we need him?  I think not, unless he's cheap.

I will point out that he is far more likely to get traded than released. So these reports of "releasing him" are absolutely absurd.

I agree on that.

Save the cap space so they can extend Ickey and sign a FA QB in the offseason.

Just from history I’ve never seen a situation like this work out positively for the player.

Do not want.

If you read the article I dont know how or why you would want anything to do with him.

I mean, I can't imagine he would be but that may not factor in when it comes down to it.

Yeah, that's the price/situation aspect. On the surface, we would have a very potent offense immediately. Tmac, Aiyuk, Coker and whomever comes out of the group of XL/Tremayne/Horn Jr. That's a hell of a WR Corps. 

I don't think it will happen nor do I think it's likely to happen but I wouldn't be upset about it if it comes at a low cost and an easy out if things don't pan out.
