Good. They need to keep putting stuff like this out there through big time media guys.
This FO just isn't dumb enough to say anything less than that.
What's the benefit at this point when most QB positions are set? And considering the fact that no other team wants him? Lynch and Kyle can't be that dumb to not see what everyone else sees, right?
i think Seattle and Panthers, if nterested, are going to wait for him to be cut. Why trade anything and take on a contract for a player expected to be cut for cap savings?
You just said exactly why lol. If we have more than two teams interested, one of those teams will try to get in him in a trade and not have to worry about losing out on him in FA.
And I personally think the Giants might get involved as well. Also, who knows what the FO knows and who else might be involved. Sure it's looking like most teams are set right now, but you never know. It would be stupid as hell for our FO to show their cards and have 0 chance at getting anything back. This isn't hard to understand lol,it's very common in the football world.
But I didn't say why lol I stated why they wouldn't trade for him. Why trade for a player "that nobody else wants" and guarantee his pay? Why not just wait for him to get cut and sign him to whatever contract you want as opposed to the one he has with he niners? It's not like you're going to compete with other teams because remember "nobody wants him" lol
it just doesn't make sense to me. Most likely, they are just waiting for him to pass his physical and then they cut him as opposed to holding on to him in hopes that another team "that doesn't want him" to trade for him. That's he only cards they hold at the moment IMO.
Me saying nobody wants him so far is a fact...Last time I checked he's still on the roster, no? Pretty sure we've been actively trying to trade him a couple months ago lol.
Though I've been saying it all offseason since he got his surgery that the right play right now is wait until he's healthy. Which would be around mid June, mid July at the latest according to reports.
Then you have a week or two to play with and see if anybody bites. We don't know what other teams might be involved, and on top of that, if you've been watching football for awhile you would know that plenty of injuries have happened during TC.
As slim as it is, there is still a possibility to work out a trade. And btw, we are allowed to eat some of that money on his contract, a team doesn't have to pay 27 mil...There are a lot of variables going on right now, and FO announcing that they are just gonna cut him, would be idiotic. This isn't something new, FOs in the NFL try to at least do their best of not letting out exactly what their plan is...
