Just saying we haven't moved him, doesn't mean there wasn't any interest. There were Patriot rumors flying around. but it would be a terrible move to put yourself in a spot with no QB depth again. but we digress from the paycut talk.
Again they could have waited to see if Lance is ready during TC, they didn't have to do s**t honestly…they don't owe Jimmy anything at this point, He's gotten paid a lot of money for not playing much football.
There were rumors that SF was gonna draft Jones too…means nothing.
again Jimmy would still make more money than any "backup" in the NFL, in fact he would have the 12th highest cap highest cap hit among all QBs in 2021 if they dropped his cap hit to $12M

I have no idea why someone would disagree that he shouldn't take a pay cut at this point, especially with his injury history…He's vastly overpaid and doesn't really have a leg to stand on for keeping that salary.
