You think they were going to franchise a backup QB? By your logic there are no good free agents ever because why would their teams "let them go" Way to take that down the wrong street.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 1 hour ago, SouthNYfan said: I heard Washington might non exclusive cousins to try and force a team to fork over the picks. With the non exclusive, does the same "consecutive franchise" pay bump still apply? This would be Kirk's third year in a row, with a 44% bump to around $35mil guaranteed. That is a dangerous game of chicken to play if nobody decided to tender him an offer, you're stuck with that bill and a guy who doesn't want to play for you. I think so. Here's one assessment: http://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/could-redskins-afford-kirk-cousins-transition-tag
klos63 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Even if the Bills wanted to go down this path, Garoppolo would have to agree to sign, which I can't imagine he would do. And IMO he is definitely worth 2 first rounders.

Here's one assessment: http://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/could-redskins-afford-kirk-cousins-transition-tag Thanks dude. That's exactly what they should do then. Transition franchise tag him, that is win-win for the skins. It allows another team to make cousins an offer that he has the right to agree to or not. It then allows them to choose to match it, or say "nah bro, pass" and snag 2 first round picks from the deal. Cousins gets $34-50 million up front year one either way. He gets to choose which team he signs with, while guaranteeing his big paycheck up front. It also allows his deal to be front loaded, which means of he sucks in a couple years, his cap hit isn't an albatross. I'm still flabbergasted that Kirk cousins is going to be getting $34 million next year.

For those who don't think he is worth that cost consider the effect he had on the 49ers. If Mayfield could be acquired by giving up both of our first round picks I would seize the opportunity and walk away with a shiiit grin.

But I'd give up two 1st rounders for the guy, I think any team would, even Belichick if Kraft the Mullet would let him. He'll be successful so long as Kyle Shanahan is the designer of the offense. Shanny has had success everywhere he has been. He has a great system, just needed the right guy to run it. No way the 9ers let him get away and no chance Garoppolo would want to leave.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 ...the Niners have been a disaster ever since DeBartolo's sister and her husband John York wrested control away......and then John turns it over to his kid Jed (Clampett?) and his bot toy Balke......dumb and dumber....somehow they attract Lynch, a hard nosed player with no managerial experience as GM along with Shanahan.....signing Jimmy G is a top priority, or ONLY priority right now for whatever loot it takes.....dopey Yorkie has no say if he wants John to run the show......
Buffalo Boy Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Uhh, yeah!!!! My only fear is this is a one hit wonder season but it looks like he may well be the real deal. Caveat Emptor!!!!!???? Why did B.B. let him walk ? That gives me serious pause.

Discuss Didn't you guys give up 2 firsts and another pick to get Watkins? Garoppolo is the real deal folks. 7-0 and the only QB NE has ever drafted to take over for Tom. Who knew he'd be the MVP at 40 years old? NE really didn't have a choice, but to trade him. Traded him to the NFC even though the Browns were willing to give up more because he didn't want JG in the AFC. 49ers are going to make him a rich man. At least I hope so. Imagine if the Bills had JG instead of TT! I don't really want to think about it...

Belichick didn't let him walk, he traded him for a 2nd round pick before he walked in 2018 for no compensation as a UFA with a chance that he'd sign with an AFC East or some other team in the conference.

For a coach possibly on the way out( his choice) I get it. If the kids worth two firsts then you keep him and tell your 40 year old QB, “ Last season Tommy Boy.” And you keep on winning with your new wonder boy. If BB is as good as he seems to be this would be par for the course for him.

However, I'll add that Belichick traded him to the NFC because he didn't want Garoppolo in the AFC. Cleveland would have offered more. BB didn't even shop JG around. He just called SF and made the deal.

Nick the Greek Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Lots to be excited about in SF after the start Garapalo has had. They went from winning no games to a hot steak. Stay tuned folks.
