since the surgery,
you know, we were we were at before that and then you got
the surgery. So everything went on hold
expectin us some time. Most likely to be traded, but who
knows that's not a guarantee and it's been exactly on hold
when that happened and
when he's healthy. We'll see what happens.
Most likely to strong term. I expect him most likely to be
traded.
The problem is they value
him
more than anyone else. Does
they have inflated what? They think he's worth and they are
dismayed. That no one else seems to agree. Well, you're
the ones that went out and use three first-round picks to get
his replacement. So
what do you expect? Others to think
for the same reasons? You don't want and maybe we're not
interested in paying him, 25 million dollars with no. TV on
this year, we're paying 25 million.
Maybe he won't earn it. If he does. What do we do next year?
Franchise tag him. So it's just a tough spot for everybody. But
look, the bottom line is, it sure? Sounds like they want to
move forward with Trey Lancer. 100. We don't know whether or
not, he's ready, but they want to move forward with Trey
Lance. And
I don't know how, I don't know how you can go forward with
both guys on the roster. After Kyle has said something that
clear
openly and publicly, if they don't get the trade partner,
they want, and what point Does Jimmy Garoppolo go to them and
say
you tried it didn't work.
Can you just let me go? Now? I'll have a chance to go find
another job. Instead of letting me go
right before the start of the season and I can't find
anything. And I have nothing and have no guarantees. Yeah.
No, it's I mean, you know, we have we've gotten a lot of
inklings and then they want to go Trail as we know it for
obvious reasons.
Let alone, you know, we heard at the owners meetings were
Shanahan. We think Trey Lance is ready to be a starter. He
said up there, you know.
Again yesterday saying that that, you know, yes, we think
we're going to trade him all that. The one thing I will say,
you know, that I think has jumped out to me because
I believe this is really like the second time and then in
the past week that Shanahan has made some comments about
Garoppolo in this
is a little bit of just the
you know, the more you you kind of look at this. You realize
that man. Maybe they were closer to trading them
and that's when Garoppolo was like I'm getting surgery. I'm
Not, you're not. You know, you're not having the power in
this situation that to me, is the one thing I've looked at it
to go. It seems like that kind of annoyed them or has bothered
them in the situation that chin that Garoppolo went,
the surgery route, that
certainly threw a wrench in their plans and is
as halted the process.
And ultimately I think is gonna
you know, like you're kind of talking about and the process
altogether. Yes. Yes, you value him too, highly. Yes. He's
coming off of shoulder surgery. And yes, he's due to make 25
million dollars a
year. And most of the seats are filled. I just don't think
there's going to be that much action for Jimmy Garoppolo. And
despite the 49ers talking point that has gotten pushed to
multiple members of the media, who just paired it like Woody,
the cowboy with a
pull string. There's a snake in my boot, Jim. He's a great guy.
Jim. He's a great guy. He went and got shoulder surgery
without telling them. He did it on his own, he threw a wrench
into the gears and and says it all taking back some
of the A power here, right? They look, he said it himself
to Adam shine, several weeks ago. It was strange last year,
and he wouldn't wish it on anybody, George kiddo explained
how weird it was and how well, Jimmy did
and being a professional about it
and how he admires him for doing and it continues to
ingratiate himself even more with his teammates. This is
this is Jimmy G taking back some of the power and saying
you're not going to just, you know,
treat me like a Pawn on a chessboard. I got some of
the power here too and that's got to be factored into all of
this. So I think they're gonna have. I still think they're
gonna have a hard time training harder than they realize. Yeah,
I do too. And
then I also think that the fact that Baker Mayfield out there,
you know, was possible trade bait as well does not help out
Jimmy. Garoppolo. Wait, let me think 25 million dollars
for Jimmy Garoppolo or 18 million dollars for
Baker, Mayfield, who's young
and just about the at the prime of his career
and has more physical ability than Jimmy Garoppolo.
Who would you rather trade for it?
That's going to hurt.
Garoppolo thing as well.
I think they're not doing anything for now because they
don't have to, but as we get closer to camp, they're going
to have to do something. By the way, before we take a break,
Kyle, Shanahan did address. The depot Samuel situation. He is
confident that they'll come to an agreement.
It further underscores, the idea that this is all Financial.
That this isn't Depot Samuel, not wanting to play for
the 49ers. Not wanting to live in California. This is just about.
Are they going to pay him
what he thinks he's worth. That's Kyle's perspective,
could be right? Could be wrong. But Chris, he continues to be
optimistic going to work. Something. Yeah, I know.
He does, you're right? And it seems like, you know, again,
like we discussed yesterday that Debo is may be cooled down
a little bit.
I don't think we really all need any of us know, the truth
of this situation and what's going on. But
Shanahan like we've discussed, he's got a way with players and
I never thought he would give up on this one, especially with
Debo Samuel, who's arguably the best player on their team.
All right, let's take a break.
