I'd rather be drinking at the victory celebration parade after winning the Super Bowl! looks like fun

I don't see Foles at the victory parade. someone check Air Pegula to see if it made a stop in Philly

he must not have liked the meatballs in Lackawanna

Mike Garafolo‏Verified account @MikeGarafolo FollowFollow @MikeGarafolo More The 49ers and QB Jimmy Garoppolo have agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million contract, source says. The biggest deal in NFL history on a average-per-year basis.

Jimmy signed by 49ers Raj Mathai‏Verified account @rajmathai FollowFollow @rajmathai More #EXCLUSIVE: #49ers have reached agreement w/ Jimmy Garoppolo. Will be highest paid player in #NFL. Announcement soon to come.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a night. Give a man a franchise QB and he eats for a lifetime. Or something like that

News from last week. Things change. If they were close it would be done by now

That's why they would want a trade partner set in stone. Thus the 3 team trade

We will see! Both polarizing players

instability has plagued us throughout the drought. it's a big issue to lose your entire defensive coaching staff this late in the process

what typically happens is the DC takes his assistants with him and our entire defensive coaching staff would be gutted and everyone given promotions in Indy. once again, another season with a new offensive and defensive coaching staff. super late in the process to need to be adding new coaches false. we have had success on offense and defense. we just haven't been able to put it all together

Despite their success, NE has had the most stability of anywhere I've ever seen as we just saw with McDaniels staying

Buffalo continues to be a farm system for the big leagues. Any time we have success our players and coaches get plucked

I thought they would sign him long term but maybe I'm just naive. I thought he had proved himself and they had already invested so much. Franchise QB's are hard to find and up until the Alex Smith trade there really wasn't any good options. If they wanted to move on I'm surprised they didn't draft a rookie last year knowing it would be Cousin's last

Cousins wasn't available then and that was too good of a deal to pass up. Nobody saw the Alex Smith trade coming

a bunch of drunk Eagles fans unleashed on the city in the middle of the day, what could go wrong?

I like this game... Bills get: Jimmy G Skins get: Glenn, Bills extra 5th 49ers get: Cousins, Bills extra 1st I think more than that would be highway robbery but I'm cheap and in life things usually end up costing about double what I would expect

Depends on who takes them. For example, Rosen on the Browns would be tough to watch but Rosen on the Giants and he would be a top 5 QB in the league. I have them ranked 1) Rosen 2) Darnold 3) Allen 4) Mayfield 5) Jackson 6) Rudolph 7) White Of them, I think 4 will be starters in the NFL. This is the best QB draft in at least the last 10 yrs, maybe the best since 2004. If we don't get a QB in this one then shame on us.

The rest of the story is plausible (although highly unlikely) but the compensation doesn't make sense. Two 1sts would be too much to give up. He's not under contract unless they let him play out the year on the franchise tag at 23m guaranteed which could backfire for a number of reasons. 1) he could get hurt 2) that's more than he would make if he was inked long term 3) he could have a great year and then demand the highest contract in the NFL (Cousins type money). Spotrac says Jimmy's value is 18 mil per over 4 which seems super low. They used Brock Osweiler's deal as a model. I think based on the hype from the end of last season Jimmy will want to be over 20m annually. Unless they had it worked out ahead of time that he would sign what they would consider a team friendly deal that makese sense for everyone, it would be a big risk and a lot to give up. He could pull a Cousins and bet on himself and keep playing on the franchise tag every year until he's ready to get the highest contract ever. That's probably why this trade would be so unlikely. There's a lot that would have to be worked out and both players and all 3 teams would have to be in agreement. That's a lot of moving parts!

watch him vs the Jags in week 16. wow!

Shanahan prefers Cousins. it was highly speculated prior to landing Jimmy and now that Cousins is finally available and probably not that much more expensive than what they might see as an unproven player in Jimmy it might make sense if Jimmy wants too much money. they haven't signed him yet for a reason and not sure what that is. this is probably a ridiculous rumor but i'm trying to make sense of it if it was true. that would be one heck of a splash though

Washington will franchise Cousins. 49ers will franchise Jimmy. They will then be traded away so off the books. 49ers assume Cousins 34m tag but have until July to restructure. Same for Bills in assuming Jimmy's franchise tag which is much lower and doable. Yes, Washington and 49ers would both want some compensation. Not sure what they would look for but the Bills have picks and players to deal so it is very plausible that they are able to offer more than other teams in that regard. Having exclusive rights to negotiate with Jimmy would be worth the picks given up because otherwise it would be a bidding war and he would end up in NY, Denver, AZ. This would guarantee he signs with us long term because this would all be worked out behind the scenes before the trade goes down. Jimmy having worked with Daboll and running a similiar type offense that he ran in NE would be a positive for us in getting him to agree to sign here long term

49ers want Cousins, Cousins wants 49ers, he will agree to sign a team friendly deal to make it happen. If Bills want Garapollo then they need to give Washington a 1st or they won't send him to 49ers and 49ers won't send Garapollo to the Bills. 49ers could wait for Cousins to hit the Market and not sign Jimmy but then there's no guarantee Jimmy comes to Buffalo. If the Bills want Jimmy then the only way to guarantee it and avoid a bidding war is to send a pick to Washington to put this all into motion. Nobody knows if it's a 1st or if it's a player or what it is. But you best believe that if the Bills want him they have to give up something to put this into motion and lock him in. He's not coming here otherwise. But anyhow, there is a 99% chance this is facebook BS so who cares

it's a 3 team trade. Jimmy is tagged by 49ers. Cousins tagged by Washington. Bills give Washington 1st round pick and a player, Washington sends Cousins to 49ers under the tag but they have until July to negotiate a long term deal that would surely average less than 35m per year and he has already said he would take less money to go to a favorable situation. all of the details would need to be worked out ahead of time by all teams and players. Jimmy also needs to be willing to sign a long term deal with the Bills who will surely make him the top 5 highest paid QB if not the 2nd behind Cousins. hopefully he liked his spaghetti today

he could sign it, Washington gets his rights which they then trade away, he gets to go to SF to be with Shanahan, they have until July to sign a long term deal (details of which would be worked out ahead of time to ensure everyone agrees), Janine comes here and haunts Belichick's dreams. it's almost too perfect... why would they do it you might ask? Shanahan might prefer Cousins and they might have been negotiating with Jimmy and saw that he was going to cost just as much so why not just get the guy they really want. i think it would be dumb but hey if they want to do that i'd be down
