49ers GM says they have offer of 2 second round picks for Jimmy G on the table (2 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

The only way I would give them two 2nd round picks is if they extended him to a 3 year, $50 million deal with a $30 million signing bonus that they eat before the trade and then we get him for 3 years at $20 million. Then they can have two 2nds. Otherwise, I think I'd have to pass on that.

I wouldn't even do that deal.

Press (X) to doubt

I get it, but that is barely over rookie money with a contract you could unload at anytime. If the team was moving to a run focused offense with a dominant defense, I think you could do worse.

The money is fine. It's the two 2nd round picks that I don't want to give up for a game manager QB that throws far too many interceptions.

Sounds like the Colts are trading for Matt Ryan so this must be Atlanta or us if true.

The 49ers are not trading with Seattle in their division.

Why not?

Jimmy only played 36 out of 80 games during the 5yrs with SF.

I mean, I just can't see Mickey or Terry Fontenot being that dumb. I'm about 99% sure this is just Lynch trying to drive up Jimmy G's price before he has to cut him.

I hope we don't have anything to do with this. Ya, he has a winning record but is hurt a lot and coming off shoulder surgery to his throwing arm.

It may not be true but I don't think they're about to cut him either way. This report is basically saying you need to come with a 1st round pick if you want him. I don't think they'd want to scare off any team willing to give them a 2nd or 3rd if they were about to cut him.

Uh huh.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch is telling interested teams that they have an offer of two second-round picks for Garoppolo on the table

Do you think it was us?

I don’t think it’s anyone. I think it’s him just trying to get more value.

But he is, at least winning percentage wise, one of the most winningest QBs in the NFL.

 

[BBarnes]

Please God no

I’m not a Jimmy G fan, but let’s not act like he isn’t 20000000 times better than anything on our roster currently

 

[Ti Rider]

An offer for 2 second round picks for a player just coming off serious shoulder surgery? If this were remotely true it would be team mismanagement to not have already accepted it. Just a GM trying to create the idea there’s a hot market for a player they are interested in trading.

 

[RJ in Lafayette]

I would have to think that had Lynch received that offer, he would have made the trade. I cannot believe that any team would offer one second-round pick, much less two second-round picks, for Garoppolo.

Same.
