Report: 49ers wanted to trade for Brady

[SHOWTIME15]

John Lynch asked Bill Belichick if he’d trade Tom Brady

Can’t blame Lynch for wanting the GOAT.

Vocal segment of Patsfans feeling even worse now.

What dey got other than that damn bridge?

 

[Jlaff]

I actually feel better with this news. If true, this feels like an organization that always had a clear path forward with Brady until his wheels fell off. Or in other words, they liked Jimmy, but having seen them both for years in practice there are no lingering doubts about whether trading Jimmy was the wrong move.

If true that kind of blows a hole in the media's talking point about Belichick probably wanting to keep JG over Brady and Kraft overruling him.

Who knows what the hell is true.

I'm curious to what would they offer...

I know it's never going to be enough, but I wonder if it was closer to "maybe in another universe" rather than "Go f*** yourself"

Lynch must have been reading another of those wacky Seth Wickersham conspiracy pieces...or Ayatollah Bhomani has been masquerading as Niner press agent...

Wasn't this what was reported from the very beginning, that Lynch initially called about Brady, but the response was "let's talk Garoppolo instead"?

I'm certain I read about this when the trade first happened, am I the only one?

If that’s the case, I think you may have been the only one. It’s all over the media today, so maybe you are better than the reporters out there.

My understanding is that Lynch wanted JG last year but Belichick tabled the discussions because he was unsure if Brady could play at a high level at age 40 (this what I was thinking too when Jimmy wasn’t traded at the draft last year). Now that BB is comfortable with an older Brady, he was comfortable dealing Jimmy. If Brady were having a down year...oh boy, I’d hate to think.

But wait!!!!! I thought KRAFT was the one who called them and traded Jimmy against Bill’s wishes specifically to keep Tom??!?!? But but but.... that one guy who covers golf told me....

I still think the scenario was completely misrepresented but feasible. We're probably talking 4th hand.

I have little doubt Kraft has probably made it clear that he would never OK trading Brady. This doesn't mean Belichick ever wanted to trade Brady. BB and Kraft might be on the same page on this. But Kraft says to Brady that he wants to keep him here until the end of his career. Brady says to Guerrero or whoever 'Bob says if Bill tries to trade me he'd prevent it.'

Guerrero tells Golf guy "My boy Brady's got more pull with Kraft than Belichick, cause Kraft would prevent Bill from trading him."

5 months later Jimmy is traded, Golf guy says "Kraft overruled Belichick's attempt to trade Brady."

What were they offering? 6 future first round picks and all of their 2018 picks?

IF the Patriots traded TB to SF last week, would the SB be a pipe dream?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Yes

Another absolutely terrible post by Pats1989.

 

[Gronkowski123]

could you imagine if this actually happened? lol

the forum would of crashed!

TB > JG. Water is also wet.

Interesting that Lynch wanted TB. He mustn’t think TB is anywhere near done either.
