Not ideal, but a lot better than if we had released Jimmy like some were calling for.
sucks that Payton and King are now accidentally right.
the team gets nothing for Jimmy.
firstly he has a no trade clause so he can veto any trade he wants, secondly he will be a unrestricted free agent next season, and thirdly the team won't trade him if there winning this season unless they want a full on mutiny in the locker room, the only way he gets traded for anything is if he OK's it, the guy did take a pay cut from 25M to 6.5M+bonuses for control of his own destiny, and so the Niners could clear some cap space.
Basically guaranteed a 4th round comp pick with a shot at a 3rd.
