Brissett and Dobbs is probably fine for 4 games or whatever. If it’s a whole season, better start looking elsewhere. If it’s a whole season, they’ll make a similar play for Jimmy G. Flip the conditional 5 they just got while making SF eat that salary. I can feel it @Forge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I doubt Carolina cares either way, if he plays himself into a good free agent contract they will pretty much get back what they paid for him in a comp pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgdish Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Glad we got something for him because of the necessity to just move on at this point. Really looking like after a promising start, AB and the front office pulled an Amber Heard on the bed this offseason at our most important position. We'll see.

Somebody has to explain to me how the Browns are going to eat Jimmy's 27M contract this year when all I heard for 3 months was how terrible and crippling Bakers 18M contract was. Are the 49ers going to eat 20M of his contract or something I dont know to move him for a 5th rounder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets cut or takes a pay cut if traded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it will come down to having to know what Watsons suspension will be. If its 6 games, we can ride out Brissett for 1/3 of the season. If its 10+ games, I feel like a move for Jimmy would have to be made. There is no way the FO thinks that essentially wasting a prime year of Chubb/Garrett/Ward who you just gave massive contracts to is a smart idea by stating Jacoby for 10+ games.

Sounds like exactly what they were saying about Baker going into the offseason. I'd take everything this front office says with the same massive grain of salt you would when listening to politicians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) C-Mac has only played 10 combined games the last 2 years for Carolina too. They also have probably the worst o-line in the NFL. Baker is gonna get killed behind that o-line. I hope he gets out of Carolina as soon as he can. Edited July 7, 2022 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected to get more for Baker, I figured it would be a conditional pick, but that far out I expected it to be upgradable to a 2nd at least, 1rst if he throws for 5K 30TD's and they win a playoff game.... For just a 5th/4th, I expected to eat $0.00 of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think had the Watson trade happened sooner, a team like Washington would have given us at least a third for Baker while also taking on his entire salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
