But then reality sets in and I remember that you need more than one good QB or you're going to end up like the 49ers almost every year since 2018. Smh.
It's too bad. However we have Purdy for two more years beyond this season at a chump change contract, and if Trey doesn't show up, there's no reason to keep him at the escalating salary he'll have next year. So we should have a lot more space at that position. Unfortunately, we'll be giving that to Bosa.
Or Trey will make himself valuable and we'll keep him at least for the duration of his contract, but either way it's still less than what most teams are spending on QB.
But if Purdy is the guy, do we really need to spend 10 million on a back up QB? This year, you want Lance and Darnold. It's too late to get some veteran and train him, and there's still a chance Lance (or Darnold) will ascend. But next year, if that doesn't happen, it's time to move on. Assuming Purdy is the guy.
This isn't going to be something most people will like me saying, but I still believe there is a solid chance Trey gets traded. I'm not saying I want him to, I'm just saying business wise - it can make a lot of sense. Just requires some unknown variables to be figured out.
the sam darnold signing has always been strange to me. I know we've had a ton of injuries these last 5-6 years or so, but that's not normal. It's been horrible luck.
i think the plan is currently 1 of 2 things and it all depends on what someone offers for Trey. I think if we get a good offer, we take it. Roll into the season with Purdy, Darnold, & Allen. I think the fact that they're even giving darnold first team reps speaks a lot to that - he obviously wasn't brought in to be just QB3. If we don't get the offer, I think we roll into the season with all three and let the dominos fall how they fall.
I personally don't really care which direction we go in. I'll be bummed if anyone gets hurt. If we keep him, great. If we don't, great.
treys been getting a ton of positive publicity recentky and looks much improved. So I could see a team trading for him. It'll just depend on the offer.
i also don't buy that crap "we will trade anyone for the right price". That's just non sense. Lol we won't trade deebo, Aiyuk, CMC, Bosa, Warner, Williams, Purdy, Armstead, Huff, etc. we won't trade players who we believe are future cornerstones of the organization.
Well it's past June 1st so we'd actually gain cap room if we traded Trey. But doing so would depend on the offer received as well as how Trey looks.
