Where's Charlie? Because I was told where there's smoke there's fire. Clearly Kyle doesn't have faith in Brock Purdy if he's trying to trade for Jackson. /s
So much for being a voice of reason. Fan those flames, bro.
To be fair, Lamar would be exactly the type of player Kyle was saying he wanted 11-11, I don't think it's realistic because of the salary cap. I wouldn't want Lamar though, he's awesome but no thanks.
regarding the smoke/fire thing, I think there are a ton of things this off season regarding moving Lance that makes me think they've looked into seriously moving him and would do it.
- saying Brock is QB1 so early in the off season, way before we know how he heals
- bringing in darnold with those incentives and saying Lance has to compete with him
- I personally don't think it's a coincidence that darnolds cap his is the exact amount we would save on a post June 1 trade of lance
- the non committal language to Lance that he's used. He's essentially said "we like Lance.. but" in my interpretation. Especially when they've been so adamant regarding other players when it comes to moving them (Aiyuk/Bosa).
- the reports from rap
Just things like that. It's obviously just my opinion, idk what they're actually doing or mean to be doing, that's just how I interpret it. I could be wrong but I feel like that's a lot of hints on how they feel and where they're leaning.
i think at worst they're trying to gauge lances market value to see if it's worth trading him vs keeping him as a backup/insurance policy.
, this indicates to me that they don't plan on developing him anymore in live games unless they have to.
