Wow. This is big. But I like this trade for 9ers. Get what you can and walk away from a mistake. They've done plenty of good. This won't kill the franchise.

Nah, should have kept him for cheap insurance, it's not sunk cost if he's not costing you anything. People also forget he is literally younger than Purdy even though he was drafted the year previous. The kid is young, and has no snaps, he's an absolutely unknown project right now... the same as he was when the Niners thought he was worth 3 firsts. So to turn around and ship him for a 4th is dumb in my opinon. Especially after last year. And that's coming from a Niners fan.

It is costing them millions of dollars a year. Trading him opens up that cap money for other players.

It's not, it would cost them $940,000 this year to keep him. Should have kept him for that, and then if an injury happens to us at QB we are still okay and if an injury happens on another team and they are desperate for a QB we can get more than a 4th... a 4th after trading away 3 firsts is fucking atrocious.
