2021 NFL Free Agency/Trade News & Discussion: March Edition

[Ring 6]

Just read the Niners are looking at Minshew.
Things to make you go Hmmmmm.

Backup.

 

[Love The Drake]

Backup.

Or bridge to a draft pick just read the Patriots are not giving up on the Jimmy G pursuit.
Keep in mind niners have 3 not horrible QBs other than Jimmy G

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

Jimmy G and Newton doesn't make much sense to me. We know neither of them can be a franchise qb of the Future. Need to draft one imo. I'm obv ok with Jimmy g and rookie but do not want to trade for him. Does someone know his cap Hit if we trade for him ?

No. They have josh Johnson who absolutely is horrible and josh Rosen who has been nothing but horrible on the field.

Jimmy G helped the '9ers get to the Super Bowl recently...I think he is a productive starter...when healthy. I agree...need a rookie too. Preferably 1st or 2nd round.

Yeah the reason i think he can't be it is his injury history and that he might not be as clutch as I would prefer it. It might be a bit wishful thinking but a rookie qb would make me confident. (They can end up as avg as well I know )

 

[RobertWeathers]

Agree, but BB loves the guy, so I expect him to give King a legit shot in training camp. He also would get his haircuts free, an Bill loves a bargain.

Yep. I'm assuming he is healthy now and will get a fair shake at a roster spot. Had the torn quad for 2019 and never made it off the PUP in 2020.

Where did you read this?

Pretty sure the Jimmy G race is all but over. The 49ers would be tanking if they traded him at this point. All signs appear to be drafting a QB and having him watch Cam try to QB this year.

Jacksonville signed Beathard seemingly to replace Minshew behind Lawrence. They could conceivably trade Minshew now though I would still expect them to wait til the draft. SF seems to be interested in Minshew - he COULD just be a quality backup for oft-injured Garoppolo, but he could also be a replacement. Adding him and moving Garoppolo would free up over $20M in cap space.

Probably in another thread here.

At this point, it would take some serious work and possibly some painful decisions on veterans, in order to fit Jimmy G under the cap. I don’t see it happening.

IMO, if they did trade for Garoppolo it would also require a contract restructure at the same time.

 

[DaBruinz]

Good deals. Isn't Davis technically a "WR" like Slater? I am thinking Brandon King may not make the roster.

No. Davis is a Safety. He saw SUB playing time with the Raiders putting up over 270 snaps each of his two years with them.

 

[Patsgofor4]

Do it, Bill.

Here is the thing due to Jimmy’s background in this system I’m sure these talks will continue til the trading deadline is past next season.

What starting job?

WFT

And another one gets away from the Chiefs

We’re they interested? I thought they chose fitz pick six over them.
