Everyone is finally seeing what Jimmy's true value is. Good news is that Kyle can take a team with a QB the rest of the league sees as a chocolate mess to the Super Bowl. Can't wait to see what he does with a real QB.
It would be really funny if Jimmy can't find a home this offseason and he renegotiates his contract with the 49ers - lowers his salary to a backup level salary (whatever that is), gets his shoulder healed and then finds a home next year, or the year after. I doubt that would happen and I doubt Jimmy's going to be cut but I would think if ShanaLynch decides (for whatever reason to keep him on the roster for 2022) I'd hope they'd try to renegotiate that salary cap hit down from 27 million.
Having said that, there's still a lot of time to Trade Jimmy. The draft is coming up, and what I think is holding things up is the time it takes for him to heal and prove to the NFL he can still throw the football. Once his shoulder is healed, it will be much easier to trade Jimmy at that point.
I was open to the idea of having him back Trey up for a hot second, but just don't think that'd be good for the locker room. Once he gets the chance to play for another team not coached by Kyle though, and the weaknesses in his game are exposed, I'd be open to him returning as a backup if the money is right.
There's still a lot of options with Jimmy. Cut him, trade him, keep him, are the most viable options. Now if they keep him, I would think they would do something about that 27 million cap hit, considering the 49ers were bending over backwards to get him to a good team - and no fault of the 49ers - got screwed by that unexpected shoulder injury operation at the last minute.
Still, I think there is a good chance he will be traded, not kept. Using that unexpected shoulder operation is key here. With that, I can now see him going to a bottom feeding team, as the QB and the 49ers getting a draft pick compensation. The 49ers excuse to trade him to a bottom feeder team (vs a playoff ready team) is that unexpected shoulder injury operation. I think both the 49ers and Jimmy can come to an understanding that despite the 49ers best efforts to get him into a playoff ready team, through no fault of either party, that shoulder operation screwed everything up. The 49ers will now have to protect the team - and get that cap space freed up. Jimmy will go to a bottom feeder team, and have the option to get a new team and a new contract after a year. He will still get his 27 million, so hopefully there should be no hard feelings. We shall see.
you dont say ?
