Jimmy could have did what Dee Ford did to us.. he waited to have surgery after being traded and not really let it be known he needed surgery the whole time
MM talked about this on a recent pod…he spoke to a surgeon he said they won't rush into a surgery if it could be fixed with PT/rehab. They will always try that first…didn't heal, so surgery was the next option.
A trade would have never been approved if he didn't pass a physical which he wouldn't have with a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder. A team would have to know before the trade & be cool with it, clearly no team was.
Not to mention the fact that Jimmy in his press conference, said he expected to be traded pretty quickly. I read somewhere that the 49ers gave other teams access to Jimmys medical records as well. For all we know, a failed physical could be the reason that sparked the surgery.
