Where do you all think he ends up, here is my thoughts...
SF- Only can see him staying with us if he takes a pay cut, and the salary cap is raised next season.
Wash- No franchise QB, the draft is weak at QB, and there's the Mayhew connection. Dan Snyder might not want to trade with us though...
Steelers- No real QB ready to start after Ben retires, and they are old school, I doubt they go into next season starting a rookie QB. I bet they draft one and let him sit.
Saints- Lot of questions for them. Tons of money tied up to T-Hill. What do they think about Winston? Could they afford Hill and Jimmy? They seem to prefer vet QB's over drafted ones.
Denver- Obviously Patton brought over his guy Bridgewater to Denver but how well has that worked out really? Maybe Peters helps us broker a trade with his old boss Elway. Who knows? They don't seem sold on Lock either. Lock could be included in a trade to us. Scangarello worked with him his rookie year and he has lots of starting experience. Could be a good backup for us?
Carolina- Real wild card. They switch QB's every year and it's not working. Coach on the hot seat and they need answers quick.
Texans- The most logical fit in my mind. GM drafted him in his NE days, and they have a real need. Mills might look somewhat promising, but can they afford to go into the season with him and Tyrod again? They finally will have many more picks in 2022 and have played better than expectations this year. I bet we trade him there on draft night for a day 2 pick.
What do you all think?
I liked your post in the other thread. It also had a separate vote that was different from the one in this thread. I do not think it should have been locked. But, I'm not a mod.
That said, I think the 49ers are loathe to trade Jimmy Garoppolo to ANY team in the NFC, including New Orleans, Carolina and Washington. That means the 49ers might have to face Garoppolo once a season in the regular season and again in the playoffs, as opposed to playing against him in the Super Bowl.
So, my two default choices are Denver and Pittsburgh. The Steelers, however, don't often trade away draft picks. This is not how this franchise has enjoyed sustained success for a large part of the 1970's, 1990's and beyond.
However, the Broncos are a little more willing to trade away picks for the right person. If Vic Fangio believes Jimmy Garoppolo is the missing piece to a legit playoff team, I can seen Denver making this kind of trade.
