What will Jimmy's trade value be in the offseason?

Only hope is if Carolina is desperate. After that, you have to cut him. Lynch and the FO f**ked up. Simple as that, they took a risk and it backfired. Now people all over the internet are calling for Lynchs head. No more excuses at this point. Just get it done.

I don't think Lynch had a chance to make a deal. No GM in their right mind is going to give up much more than a bag of chips for a QB with a damaged throwing shoulder.

FWIW, I still believe a healthy JG would be worth a 2nd and a conditional 3rd BUT that is when he is healthy. However, that is all water over the dam because he IS hurt and until it is fully healthy, no one is going to give up much of anything for him. The best value chance we have is to keep him until he has demonstrated he is healthy and another team has a need. There is no dire need for cap room now that cannot be met if Jimmy isn't dealt until September.

Matt Ryan fetched a 3rd. Yes he is older, but whatever team Jimmy goes to will likely only view him as a short term solution anyway. So if you're a GM looking to get a bridge QB for the next 2-3 years, which would you rather have? No, there won't be a trade offer for Jimmy until or unless more than one team becomes interested.

The Ryan trade really has no impact on Jimmy. When I watched Ryan last year, he was just a shadow of what he was 2-3 years ago. Indy knew that. Atlanta knew that. That is why the 3rd. Right now, Chris Ballard is praying they have not bought another Philip Rivers.

So, assuming there is no deal on the table now (which I believe to be the case), we keep Garoppolo until he is healthy, even if that goes into the season. In that case, we have a very good backup for Lance and the possibility of actually getting a draft pick or two when a team comes in dire need. That is a good thing.

The worst possible scenario is that we cut Garoppolo and get nothing in return, and go into the season with Nate Sudfeld as the backup QB. Does anybody really want to see that?

There is no offer on the table and I have doubts there ever was.

Worst case scenario is having Jimmy on the roster for $27M for 2022.

Sure by summer when he is healthy. Or next year when a QB goes down. They get injured every year. If he's on the roster we can trade him then. It would be for picks next year.

He wouldn't really hurt us if we did that.

True. Having $27M isn't likely to make much of a difference in free agency.
