BJORN 679 Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Lets see what he has got! I like the trade for the 49ers. Edit: Maybe not, he is on an expiring contract Edited October 31, 2017 by BJORN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted October 31, 2017 Weren't there reports that the Browns were offering a lot more than that before the draft? The report I'm seeing is that they also offered a 2nd. Given that the Pats had 0 chance of keeping him unless Brady retired, it's pretty impressive they could snag a 2nd rounder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted October 31, 2017 Lets see what he has got! I like the trade for the 49ers. Edit: Maybe not, he is on an expiring contract That's not too much of a concern I'm because the 9ers have a ton of cap space for one. They have a lot of leverage in contract negotiations for a guy who has started, what, 3 games. They'll have to pay him at least 10 million a year but that could mean they have a good QB at a 50% discount for 2 or 3 years. If he sucks it won't kill them too much and they could draft a QB in 2019 or 2020 and cut bait on Jimmy G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless he's complete trash, he'll be getting Osweiller money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted October 31, 2017 This trade makes sense for both teams, but it does seem awfully risky for the Patriots to not have a viable backup to Brady, doesn't it? I guess if you're going to gamble on someone, gamble on Tom Brady. For the Niners, they spend a 2nd-round pick on a guy who's played in the NFL a few years and didn't look bad. Now they don't have to risk a QB with their 1st-rounder and get get a guy like Barkley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Brady goes down they're done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted November 1, 2017 The Sacramento Bee speculates Jimmy Garoppolo will not make his 49ers debut before Week 12. Reporter Matt Barrows reached the conclusion after parsing coach Kyle Shanahan's Tuesday words. It would make sense, as it would give Garoppolo two weeks to learn the system before the 49ers' Week 11 bye. Quarterback plans can change in a hurry, but the go-nowhere 49ers have little reason to force Garoppolo onto the field before he's ready. Waiting until Week 12 would still give them six games of evaluation. Source: Matt Barrows on Twitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry 1,302 Posted November 1, 2017 From my understanding Pats run more stuff over the middle in passing game + exploit seams more. Shanny gonna make it work tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
