The only reasonable trade option is Carolina and taking back some of Darnold's contract. That's it for right now. Or they could wait until August and see if a team gets desperate.
He didn't suggest cutting Jimmy as an option.
Yup I'm hoping for Darnold coming back if that's what we need to seal the deal. Would have to split his cap hit in some agreed upon way. We eat some they eat some. Panthers would get a big upgrade at QB. We would get McCaffrey is my hope or picks. Their picks are a little weird early first which is untouchable then nothing until 4th so getting player back may make most sense.
Why would we want McCaffrey? He's breaking down and is paid a lot at a position that the 49ers have been finding gems at.
I'm thinking we lost a vet in Mostert.
McCaffrey has family ties to Shanny, Ed McCaffrey was on the 94 SB team when Kyle was ball boy. Papa Shanny won SBs in Denver with Papa McCaffrey. He's a Stanford product as is Lynch. I could see it.
If healthy he's probably the top all around RB in the game. Turns 26 this summer, so still prime years. Carolina tried to give 25-35 touches per game not realistic imo. We could spell him with Mitchell and yes even Sermon to keep everyone fresh.
Offense would become completely unstoppable. Lance, CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, Trent, Juice with Shanny coaching it up. Potential top RB, top TE, top FB and top LT in the game, plus Deebo
