This.

Media is going to explode and make a massive deal about this, but honestly? I can't think of a situation where it makes sense for us to trade him, other than him sitting out and demanding one.

The only scenario I can imagine is if either Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes demands a trade to SF, or if Mac Jones turns into Tom Brady.

Damn did they really need to add that too.

Doesn't mean he is unreadable - just that if we were to trade him, he has a say in where he goes. He can force a trade to a specific team that he wants to go, if this situation ever arose.

he would have to say he wants to go to X organization and waive the no trade clause. Let's just hope he plays so well it never comes to this. Would be a sad day if we traded him, IMO.

Two years from now he could have back 2 back underwhelming seasons and the team could want to move on from him, this way he has control of the situation he would go to.

like i said above, let's hope this never happens and in 2 years he's playing so well that he's underpaid. Lol

No one will want to trade anything for an underwhelming 53 million dollar qb.

Another way is that Brock keeps getting hurt And a backup we have isl playing really well for much cheaper. There are tons of ways things go wrong

When we drafted Trey did you think he would only start a few games before we gave up on him? Anything is possible. lol

another way is a fracture between Brock and Kyle and they need to go separate ways. Brock just took control over those situations. Good for him

Lombardi is reporting that Brock is only $8.5M call hit this upcoming season.

im curious if they do what hurts did where he has low cap hits most year and then at the end, it's $95M lol

If he's bad enough that they want out of the deal they'd just cut him.

Right, and if he's bad enough that they want to get rid of him, what team is trying to trade for him on this contract?

Exactly. This is a nothing burger

A nothing-burger for us, but looks hella good for his agent as he seeks other clients.

Depends how the contract is structured. If it's heavily front loaded then Brocks cap hits won't be a problem for teams interested in a trade 3-4 years down the road. 53 is just the aav of his extension, that's not what he's literally owed every year

Especially when you factor in that most of his guaranteed money will be paid after the first 3-4 years. So if for some god forsaken reason we are moving off of Brock, it won't be some huge risk for a team.

3-4 years from now getting a solid qb for $40M might be considered a bargain. Pretty much a majority of all the good qbs in the market make $35M-$50M right now. NFL qb market was drastically different 3-4 years ago from today.

I really don't think this will be an issue so I'm not worried about it but this is the nfl, anything is possible. I would have said it's nearly impossible for the Trey situation to play out how it did.

"hey we are going to make one of the biggest trades in nfl history, give the guy a few games as a starter, then move on from him with a guy who we selected last in the nfl draft (even though that's never happened - last player selected in the draft never even started a game)" - the odds of that scenario to play out how it did, had to be a 1% of a 1% chance that would happen. Lol nfl is a wild place

Sure but using last year as a big point of emphasis isn't it.

When the roster is a shell of itself then you're asking a guy to work miracles in a way. It's not a realistic ask. We've seen him do it when he has guys who can help him make plays but when you're missing key pieces and guys who are out there don't have the same timing down it will impact the ability of the QB to make plays.

Also I didn't contradict anything. Saying in general those situations don't lead to success in general doesn't eliminate the fact that Kyle runs his offense and brings in talent on the OL to have success outside of those conditions. When we get into those scenarios whether with Brock or not the results aren't great.

It's not very complex. If we're going to not OL a heavy priority and roll out the Jake Brendel's
of the world at arguably one of the most important positions on the OL in this offense then we better stay out of must pass situations.

You can't have perfect everything all the time, especially in sports. If the only way our QB can show up in those late game comebacks is with an all-star roster. Then he shouldn't be getting paid a quarter billion dollars.

We're in the QB thread talking about the QB. If you want to deflect and say kyle's play calling is the reason he's tossing these late game INTs, then let's go in the HC thread and discuss it. All I ever stated was no that's complete nonsense…the QB plays a massive part in success and failure for a team. No, the play calling isn't the complete reason he's not making the plays late in games.

dude, SF was going to SBs with the Jake Brendel's of the world all the same. Last I checked he was the center when they were scoring more points than anyone in 2023. Brock's overall pressured numbers were actually down in 2024 compared to 2023. Yes they need better there, end of the day the QB matters a whole s**t load more than any center and constantly deflecting to the center being bad as to why our QB tosses a INT is dumb.

Yes there's a ton of context, but people saying it was all scheme, all OL or all WR play as to why Brock wasn't 2023 good, is simply not true. He plays a MASSIVE part in if he's good or not. That shouldn't be a hot take. Why can't folks accept that?

and I want to make it crystal clear, I'm glad he got signed. Good fair deal. He's a good young QB. We need better play in those late game drives. That's when a QB is suppose to separate himself from everyone else and be great. We should expect that from him at this point going forward.

It's also a 6 yr deal total. So it's actually in that $45M range, not 53APY (if folks care about that).

the no-trade thing doesn't matter at all. He's never gonna see the end of this deal. He's either gonna get extended before that or cut before that.

Don't forget this is the year we're eating $81m in dead cap money.

If he lives up to this contract and plays well then they won't want to trade him. If he doesn't play well then nobody would want him. It's not like picking up a QB that's gifted but didn't play in a good system.
