KDIGGZ Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just now, BADOLBILZ said: How does that make Cousins a valuable trade asset for Washington? The point of a team having a franchise tag to use is to get leverage in negotiations with the teams key player.........but if the tag amount is too high to carry then the team doesn't have any leverage. That is the case in Washington. With Alex Smith in tow they can't risk tying up $50M+ in the QB position next season if Cousins signs it in spite so they don't have any leverage. Could the Bills or Niners throw them a bone to get a deal done before FA? I guess but it sure as hell wouldn't be a first round pick. That's totally irrational. Jimmy G is coming off an incredible finish to the season.........his franchise number is $10M+ less than Cousins........he's younger.........he doesn't have any of the "I don't see special" stink on him. He's a real, trade-able asset. Cousins is not. I get that it's a BS report but if you are going to make up a rumor at least make it sound reasonable. Sounds like either wishful thinking from a Redskins fan or just a really poorly drawn up trade idea by a Bills fan. 49ers want Cousins, Cousins wants 49ers, he will agree to sign a team friendly deal to make it happen. If Bills want Garapollo then they need to give Washington a 1st or they won't send him to 49ers and 49ers won't send Garapollo to the Bills. 49ers could wait for Cousins to hit the Market and not sign Jimmy but then there's no guarantee Jimmy comes to Buffalo. If the Bills want Jimmy then the only way to guarantee it and avoid a bidding war is to send a pick to Washington to put this all into motion. Nobody knows if it's a 1st or if it's a player or what it is. But you best believe that if the Bills want him they have to give up something to put this into motion and lock him in. He's not coming here otherwise. But anyhow, there is a 99% chance this is facebook BS so who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyhow, there is a 99% chance this is facebook BS so who cares The 49ers have almost $120M in cap space...........they can afford to franchise Jimmy G and sign Cousins too if they want.....and then just trade Jimmy G on draft day. Wouldn't have any effect on the Niners free agency plans or ANYTHING. They have more cap space than anyone in the league. $50M in tied up cap room on Cousins and Alex Smith while they tried to deal Cousins would put Washington in a major bind where they couldn't sign FA's and may even have to cut players at the beginning of the league year. You can't be over the cap at any time once the league year starts. A scenario where SF trades Jimmy G and comes out of it without all the assets in return is ludicrous. I can see the Bills wanting Jimmy G more than any other QB.........he's good and he worked with Brian Daboll for years in NE so he could step right in and know and lead the offense. That part is plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Why would the 49ers agree to this? Shouldn't they want to keep Jimmy G? He has the potential of being better than Cousins, probably will be cheaper, and he is much younger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part is plausible. Washington will franchise Cousins. 49ers will franchise Jimmy. They will then be traded away so off the books. 49ers assume Cousins 34m tag but have until July to restructure. Same for Bills in assuming Jimmy's franchise tag which is much lower and doable. Yes, Washington and 49ers would both want some compensation. Not sure what they would look for but the Bills have picks and players to deal so it is very plausible that they are able to offer more than other teams in that regard. Having exclusive rights to negotiate with Jimmy would be worth the picks given up because otherwise it would be a bidding war and he would end up in NY, Denver, AZ. This would guarantee he signs with us long term because this would all be worked out behind the scenes before the trade goes down. Jimmy having worked with Daboll and running a similiar type offense that he ran in NE would be a positive for us in getting him to agree to sign here long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanahan prefers Cousins. it was highly speculated prior to landing Jimmy and now that Cousins is finally available and probably not that much more expensive than what they might see as an unproven player in Jimmy it might make sense if Jimmy wants too much money. they haven't signed him yet for a reason and not sure what that is. this is probably a ridiculous rumor but i'm trying to make sense of it if it was true. that would be one heck of a splash though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight up for Cousins.......no sense at all........they traded their second round pick for Jimmy G.....that would be a net loss and Jimmy G has the higher ceiling. Makes great sense from a Bills perspective to trade for Jimmy G though because of his talent but also the fact that he knows Dabolls playbook and terminology.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I actually heard this rumor from a 49ers fan/coworker of mine, I thought he was talking out off his ass like usual but he mentioned this 3 team deal also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 2 hours ago, kdiggz said: he could sign it, Washington gets his rights which they then trade away, he gets to go to SF to be with Shanahan, they have until July to sign a long term deal (details of which would be worked out ahead of time to ensure everyone agrees), Janine comes here and haunts Belichick's dreams. it's almost too perfect... why would they do it you might ask? Shanahan might prefer Cousins and they might have been negotiating with Jimmy and saw that he was going to cost just as much so why not just get the guy they really want. i think it would be dumb but hey if they want to do that i'd be down And I could get married to a super model, if I win the lottery and move to LA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
