SF he probably recognized a franchise heading the correct direction and would prob be able to safely secure Jimmy G VS Browns. Who doesn't take the best coach in the game to figure out Cleveland is probably going to struggle and within 6 months to a couple of years Jimmy G would leave cleveland to maybe a closer more dangerous FOE. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, colts, miami or even the Jets. Put it this way. Would you turn your own 1st rounder into a 2nd rounder if that meant Pittsburgh had to lose a 24 year old Big Ben? Eh, by that logic you'd never trade anyone ever. I mean Jimmy is a FA this year by definition, nothing is stopping him from doing what you've noted. Maybe less likely sure, but if they saw him as that strong of an asset you'd never trade him in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Collins and unloading Mingo for an actual draft pick. Hardly fleecings, but a tip of the scale in our direction l think. Clearly the Pats feared Sashi Brown's dealing mojo and wanted no more of it. Reports were that BB didn't like dealing with Brown/Browns....because Sashi was always trying to get the better end of the deal. So....there may be some truth to the theory that BB didn't want to again have it look like he got burned by Sashi Brown. (Hell...it wouldn't surprise me if Sashi lands a job with the Pats...if BB stays there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to burn the second pick in the draft I prefer to burn it on Jimmy than anybody else available. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone thought he was worth that until/unless he went on this 4-5 game win streak with the Niners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Our second pick in the first round. And only if I was going to trade for somebody. I'd rather have him than Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins. And that's only if we sign any of the three to a multi-year deal. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
