You have ZERO intel on what price was "demanded" lol. It's been reported that they haven't had any offers. Teams know what Jimmy is THEN add in the recent surgery and no one wants to roll with it.
There were several reports through the year and into the offseason that suggested the Niners were looking for a 1st round pick.
not to mention... the team has taken no steps at all to improve the o line which lost two guys from last year. HOPING that people like banks will step in and do the job as compared to actually being aggressive like the bengals.. having an actual plan to fix this key area.. no matter the qb, it is unreal the team takes this area lightly,. of but of course...... the jimmy salary prevented us from actually making those types of moves... and please no more blather that keeping jimmy is not preventing us from signing people.. yes it did. we are a team that got worse and even niner fan favorites like matt have said so.. lynch played chicken with no plan b... then he lost some decent o line guys with no plan b other than to hope and dream and hope that dreams work out with people like banks.... you have a young guy you think is the cornerstone of your team for the next 15 years but you protect him with a ten cent line led by a center who is a huge question mark in itself.. OH.. forgot. hoping mm comes back healthy./ but has he ever pass protected well in his life.. did i miss it. was it effective.. we do not have any elite roster. we have a terrible o line. and thanks to a combo of lynch kyle and jimmy... a cluster f**k with the qb thing and 29 million dollars in two back up quarterbacks... no other team. none. zero. ever does that
I agree on all points, but differ on how Shannalynch bungled the Garoppolo situation. I'm dubious as to his asking price being too high, or that there was ever even an offer. I do however think he should have taken the 2nd rounder for him last year. Then we wouldn't even be talking about it now, and Trey would have a year under his belt. I'm really hoping they saw the O line situation coming, and they're confident in Banks/Moore. If those 2 live up to their draft positions, we should be in good shape.
