Maybe they priced themselves out of a trade.

Or maybe the other teams don’t like the price coupled with his injury history

Or maybe they realize that he’s a product of the system?

Lots of variables. Who is left that would want him? Carolina? Miami?

Or maybe it's a combo.

Could be that SF isn't willing to let Jimmy G go for nothing in light of their tepid belief in Trey Lance... even if that only means he needs more time to be the guy they drafted.

Seems to be that they'll deal Jimmy and move on, but without value, they'll just hold on to him for another year and be better with him than without him.

I dunno. Honestly, I just want us to beat them twice and for them to miss the playoffs. Beyond that... idc

Yes I left that one out. He’s a free agent after next year. Maybe they are better off keeping him as insurance.

Yeah, they should get a comp pick for him next year so why give him up for a 6th or w/e when they should get a 3rd next year and give Lance another year to develop

I think I heard the asking price for Jimmy GString was a 1st. That coupled with his salary, I can't see a team being that desperate. IMO they'd be DAMN lucky to get a 3rd back for him and I think they'd have to cover some of that salary to even get that.

I was thinking the same thing. Based on transactions thus far, the market seems to be a 6th if you're taking that salary, ESPECIALLY since he's on the last year of a deal... so, if you're getting Jimmy G, it's either a sign and trade or you're not giving up much especially since you're not getting a break on the salary.

I think the 9ers losing out on shipping JimmyG out in FA may help them because with him, they're the 2nd best in the division and without Seattle sweeping them this year, they could give us a hard time for the division...

Or hold onto him into camp because there are often a camp injury that makes an emergency QB a critical need for a contender.

No, the Falcons are eating that cap hit.

I'm trying to understand how this makes sense. The falcons ate that 40 mil in exchange for 9 mil in cap relief this year? Clearly I had that backwards if the reporter has it correct. I just can't get my mind wrapped around that logic.

I could get where the donkeys ate 9 mil of Von's salary in exchange for a couple picks. But eating 40 mil in exchange for a 3rd? That sounds backasswards.

Falcons had to eat it. It was dead money if they traded or cut him. After the Deshaun Watson courting, it seems like they were between a rock and a hard place. Plus, a 3rd is better than nothing for a QB who seems close to retirement.
