I’m not sure Jimmy G is worth two 1sts. Small sample size, and was traded for a 2nd like 3 months ago.

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!

What a difference a few years makes. I remember when the best Bills team of the drought (14), went into Foxburrough and beat the Pats. And everyone said it didn’t count because Brady played a half and the rest was Jimmy G. Now people are chiseling his bust.

Nice to see that the poo train is still rolling right along this morning.

Right. And then he proceeded to start in 5 straight wins for what was arguably the 2nd worst team in the nfl.

 

lefs not pretend that shouldn’t change his value. I would much rather move for a guy like jimmy g as opposed trading both picks away to move up in the draft. 

 

That all being said I don’t believe for a second that any of these rumors are true.

Seems to me a bit of a classic 'join the dots' type of scenario, where elements could make sense, but ultimately, the whole package fails.

 

For me, where it fails, is with the Redskins involvement, which as far as I can see, is irrelevant. Even if they franchise Cousins again. Which I'm not sure they can actually afford to do.

 

It's just way too easy for the Redskins to be turned over, by any of the other teams involved, or by Cousins himself.

What? 

 

He was saying Jimmy G or Kirk Cousins would go to New England to be Brady’s back up and then taking over for Brady after he retires. Both salaries combined between Jimmy G/Cousins and Brady would nearly $50 million.

Well he’s played really well since that point. The guy just stepped in on an awful team and helped them to 5 straight wins to close the season. Pretty hard to overlook that.

The Easter Bunny and Santa Claus are real.  Don't let anyone tell you anything different.

I love the old "we need a xxx therefore teams are lining up to give us one" rumours.  Makes as much sense as another team needing a DB and being linked to Tre White because they need one.

Looks like its a annual thing with San Fran to be in discussion for 3 way trades involving Cousins

[Kirby Jackson]

It sounds ridiculous, but I’ll bite. 

 

Bills get: Jimmy G

Reskins get: John Miller & Bills 2nd

49ers get: Cousins, Bills 1st

[BuffaloRebound]

Even though this rumor is nonsense, the presence of a free agent Cousins is a game changer.  Maybe Garropolo is asking for $30m per year and SF is balking.  Meanwhile they could get a guy with a longer track record for that, and get at least a 1st rounder for Garropolo.  Garropolo's contract situation will be fascinating to follow.  SF basically holds all the cards until Cousins is no longer an option.

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

This isn't the case at all based on the latest developments.  The entire premise is a fairy tale.

That’s fine, still a small sample size though. He had 7 TDs and 5 INT. 2 firsts?

There is a report on Facebook that there is a strong rumor that the Bills, 49ers and Redskins will pull off a 3 team trade. With 49ers ending up with Kurt Cousins. Bills getting Jimmy G and The Redskins getting Bills 1st round pick and a player. 

This is supposedly posted by someone in the know. 

Take it for what it’s worth. 

 

 

"There is a report on Facebook..."

OK, we're finished here. 
 

Seriously, I'd give up both 1st round picks plus a player to get Jimmy G, but it isn't happening.  The '9ers played this perfectly.  They got to kick the tires on Jimmy and now they will pay him, just like they would have to pay Kirk Cousins.

Rumor has it that Garoppolo won't sign unless Shanahan says he's better than Cousins. Negotiations are stalling. It might be on myspace, maybe.

Narratives are fun, aren’t they?

This reminds me of that time Malcolm Jenkins was getting a physical in Buffalo two days before his game in Philly. I bet he is sure glad he didn't get traded!
