Okay, so again as we enter our three here of Felger and Maz, the final run-up to the Jimmy Garoppolo decision could be coming in the next couple days.

I mean, it's possible it gets strung out all the way into training camp.

It's possible.

But the draft is when, you know, there's another action day. It's another, you know, time for moves to be made. And so, you know, we all tend to think that things are going to be happening with Garapola one way or the other in the next 48 hours, especially because it feels like the 49ers are moving, are moving more in that direction, or sort of coming off of their insistence that they're going to have both quarterbacks and they're going to keep Garoppel and develop the rookie. And it feels like there's been movement on that front, you know, not just reporting Peter King yesterday. Jason Luckenfor, today you keep mentioning Murray, why don't you give it again in case people miss the top of the hour updates? What has Luckin for been reporting? He is reporting there's a very strong expectation that the 49ers will try to trade Garabolo

before or during the draft.

Okay.

So this feels like there's movement towards Garoppolo moving.

And if you want him here, you know, in the Patriots direction, I would just say that the

one thing that would concern me if you want Garoppolo here, as I do, that Bill will overplay his hand. He'll smell blood in the water. Oh, so you aren't going to keep both, San Francisco. I told you that. And now you're going to want to move the guy. Okay. So now Bill says, well, if this is where you're're at you're eventually going to have to release them

because you're not going to pay him that contract and you don't want them so i'm just going to wait

for you to release him and i'm going to get to get him for nothing and bill might very well get that

ultimately but if you're san francisco then and you don't owe gropolo anything in the offseason

no option bonuses roster bonuses nothing like that you don't have to pay them a dime of real money until week one of the regular season. And Bill's not going to offer you of anything of real value. If you're the Niners, why not just keep them through the off season then in case your rookie quarterback gets hurt or hit by a bus or something happens? Then you're protected and there's no skin off your nose. You've already fit Caroplo on your salary cap. He's on it right now as we speak and you don't have to pay him any real money. There's no reason if you're not getting anything in return to move off of them until you absolutely have to, which is the end of August. And so that's, I think, are the fault lines there. The Pats want them now and not August, and San Francisco is being smart about it, which is debatable, which we'll get to in a second. But if that's the case, if they want them now, they're going to have to give up something. Yeah, I just don't understand why they'd be quibbling over winning the trade when it benefits their team. And again, you're not getting slaughtered on the trade if you give up a second round pick for him,

which is really what the price should have been from the beginning or something close to it. And there are so many ways to easily solve that and figure it out. A third, but there could be a second, a second that could be a first, throw in a fifth, whatever. Like, that should be the easiest part of the whole thing.
