Clearly he's talking to Glazer, his former colleague from his broadcasting days at FOX. This is Lynch's way of avoiding heat from the fan base and SF media for not adding a WR. He can now say "look we tried to make a deal and it fell through." I'd put the chances of a WR addition at 0% now. He's gonna say "we like the guys we have and we think we will get back healthy."
lol I don't agree with this assessment at all. You're also jumping to conclusions - it could have been someone from minnesotas camp? Trying to show they want to trade him but Jennings prevented it.
sometimes this stuff is leaked to try and put pressure on teams, for example, "we know you tried to get Jennings and couldn't. So if you want our guy, up your offer. You're running low on options if you want a good WR you can plug in".
even if lynch did leak it, I don't see it as a big deal at all. Regardless of who did it, I don't see any of them as sleezy. Makes me think Jennings doesn't have a trade market, outside of us. I wonder if he has some personality issue that teams are concerned with? He was a great WR3 for us for years.
