Should the New York Jets trade for San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo
Transcript
00:0049ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still looking for a trade partner as the San Francisco 49ers have made it very clear
00:07they have moved on to Trey Lance. I'm Claudette Montana-Pattison with SI right now and joining me is Grant Cohn from all 49ers.
00:15Grant, we got to talk about something here because a lot of people believe that the New York Jets should consider trading for Jimmy Garoppolo,
00:22especially after Zach Wilson acquired that injury this past weekend.
00:26He is going to be out for roughly two to four weeks. Your thoughts on this?
00:31Maybe if Zach Wilson were out the entire season, the Jets might consider trading for Jimmy Garoppolo, but he won't, so they won't.
00:39I think people are thinking, well, Robert Sala knows Jimmy Garoppolo. That's a good thing.
00:44He could fit the system. Maybe knowing Jimmy Garoppolo isn't the best thing.
00:48I mean, he's a good guy, but the reports coming out now from Michael Silver and Peter King is that every offseason
00:55he goes to 49ers. He looks at this job as like a part-time job, and I guess the CBA
01:00backs him up on this, but he doesn't return calls and texts in the offseason.
01:03And he's looked at as a pro because he comes from New England and he says the right things and smiles, but that's not
01:09professional. And I think there's been a mystery. Why don't the Niners want Jimmy? Why is there a trade market for Jimmy?
01:17Well, this is it.
01:18People want their quarterback, their starting quarterback, to be fully committed and
01:24reportedly Jimmy isn't. And he's very rich and he's 30 and he's not getting better.
01:28So I think this is a crossroads for him.
01:30If he were to get cut, I'm sure teams would like to sign him, but to trade for him in that big contract,
01:35I don't think it's going to happen, Claudette.
