Jimmy G reportedly gets his deal:

[Steve102]

That's a lot of money for a guy with 7 starts. Good for him, I hope he's the second coming of TB12. like TB12x2. TB squared.

Better to be the second coming than to be Brock Osweiler.

 

[mosslost]

Schefter said it's not officially done yet.

Schefter just whining like a baby he got scooped..

 

[Sciz]

so will the 49ers have any money left to build a team around him?

They had an estimated $113 million in cap room before this, so still probably close to $100 million left if the first year cap hit is low like it usually is in these big contracts.

 

[JMC00]

Feels like this just put the screws to the Pats in a way. If JG gets this can you imagine what a guy like Wentz will get with his body of work in a couple years?

Pats better draft a good one soon cause they aren't finding one worth the $ in free agency.

Why would they need to look at free agency when they have drafted and groomed the best QB to ever play the game and the QB that just got the biggest contract ever???

Also your post makes no sense because if they draft a good one he will likely be looking for that same money in 4 years time. Brady is the rare exception of a guy that takes less.

This figure kinda means B.B. wouldn’t have signed him even if they traded Brady. This is nutts man

 

[Trycked]

This is why we should all appreciate TB that much more. TB seems to always leave money on the table for the benefit of the team. If the contract is true, JAG seemed to have taken not only all the money, but the table and chairs.

 

[PatsGirl2011]

No way the Pats could afford that contract and field a competitive team. The right decision was made. I rather spend more on developing a defensive nucleus for the next 5 years.

This is because brady cares more about winning than money. I could be wrong but what I’ve seen makes me think brady would just rather win some way

 

[fightingirish595]

Still pains me to see this. I wanted this guy on this team months before he got drafted. I forget exactly who discovered him in the draft thread but I remember seeing posts about him in September 2013, and quickly loved what I saw in him on tape. When we took him I was so excited. It’s really going to suck if he does turn out to be great

Timing was off. Oh well

 

[patsbrasilpatriotas]

Wow. Good for Jimmy. I hope they extend Brady for a good hometwon discount.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I can only hope imagine what Kirk cousins will get.

Also nick Foles made himself some money.

 

[Sfpat]

Yeah. I guess the moral of the story is that if you're going to suck for a couple of years, you might as well pick up a few young guys in the Draft, drain your veteran roster way down and rebuild around "the guy" from the bottom.
The delay in finalizing the deal might be in working out the terms of the Insurance Policy that San Fran is buying in the event of injury or other unforeseen events.

Cleveland has been doing this for a long time with terrible results

He has a super model wife. Doesn't he also make money in endorsements as well.

So does this mean all the rumored animosity between Kraft and Belichick goes out the window? Did Kraft not just save Bill from the on coming train?

Kirk Cousins sucks it's not like the Redskins didn't have decent talent on Offense he chokes every time in a Big Game. The Redskins will be doing themselves a favor if they move on from him.

That offense crumbled around him. Without him they might of won 4 games

He's gonna get paid! He has played a full season something jimmy hasn't done yet.

 

[chris_in_sunnyvale]

In before the "we would have won with Garoppolo" crowd.

Jimmy would have thrown for 600 yards!

I am not saying the guys not serviceable but you don't pay a serviceable QB the moon. All I'm saying is Cousins not worth what he's gonna fetch on the open market.

 

[PatsFan2]

That don't mean squat Jimmy has already done more with less. Jimmy will also be an excellent QB in this League I'm sorry we couldn't transition to him.
