Ahem, sprayed and paid.bitches got paid, just like they wanted
Who would even want him at this point? Seahawks seemed destined to be awful for the draft next year, and Houston wants to give Mills a shot. Everyone else seems pretty set for at least this season.
Why would the Patriots want him, Jones looked pretty good last year.
I mean, is this really even news? I guess they officially gave him the OK to seek a trade, but I am pretty sure the 49ers have been trying to do that for a while. And beyond the problem of finding someone who wants him, he would have to (I assume) pass a physical for the trade to be approved. Last I heard he won't be fully cleared until Mid August.Sources: Niners give Garoppolo OK to seek trade
The 49ers have given Jimmy Garoppolo's agents permission to seek a trade involving the veteran quarterback, sources told ESPN.www.espn.com
Browns seem like the most likely spot for him but I doubt there's any reason to give up a pick for him vs just waiting for him to be released. I guess if you want him in training camp you might offer a 5th rounder or something.
Definitely shows that the QB market has changed though. 5 years ago a QB who had taken a team deep in the playoffs multiple times and was still in his prime would have been a much hotter commodity.
fwiw, he's also not completely medically cleared yet, so that may have played into it somewhatKinda a fucked up move on the 49ers part. Wait until all the teams have made moves for QBs then tell him he can seek a trade. I wonder if they did that so they can say that no one wanted him and keep him as a backup.
