N/S The Brock Corollary (1 Viewer)

[parlorcitysaint]

Brock Osweiler relieved an injured Peyton Manning, and played far beyond what anyone had thought him capable of. Peyton healed, came back in the for the playoffs, and Denver won the big one.

That off-season Osweiler signed a VERY lucrative deal with Houston, compared to how few games he actually played.

His remaining years in the NFL is uninspiring at best, to be polite.

Now, this year, Mr. Irrelevant, the last man picked in the draft, gets pressed into service, for a very talented team, and he took, plays far better than pretty much anyone could've guessed possible.

Unfortunately, for him, his season ended last night, when he took got hurt, and lightning didn't strike twice for the 49ers. His backup (who would have been the 4th string, had he been on the roster when the season started)

I imagine Purdy is still under contract, but that doesn't mean that some QB hungry team isn't going to sniff around; "kick the tires", so to speak.

Question is: given the ironic similarity of first name, will Osweiler's history hurt Purdy's shot elsewhere?

Um... Why would they move on from him again? I think they have enough film to move forward with him. They can easily keep Lance since he's on a rookie contract and Jimmy G is walking.

Purdy is under contract with SF for the next 3 years at minimum salary. Even if SF was willing to give him a new contract they can't until after he has been on the roster for 3 years.

Another team might be willing to trade for him though. And offer him a better contract than "Mr Irrelevant money".

He played well and gotten them to the championship games... Lance is hurt and recovering but hasn't stand out.... Jimmy might not come back... Why trade when there are uncertainties at that position if they do? He is still under a very cheap contract. If you were the GM would you even consider that? Come on.

That wouldn't work. When a team does a trade for a player they are actually trading for the players contract. Under the CBA a drafted player can't have a new contract until he completes 3 years or is released and clears waivers.

32 year old Jimmy G is a free agent and Lowball Loomis might pursue him as a 2 yr stopgap.
