Jimmy Garoppolo = Steve DeBerg.

Yes, JG does bring to mind Bill Walsh’s comment about SD. 
Things worked out OK after Bill replaced SD with Joe Montana. Can we hope for the same result with Trey Lance?

I'm being a little unfair.  DeBerg was 53-86-1 as a starting quarterback.  Garoppolo is 30-12.  Slight difference.

I thought Giants were”close” to the Alex’s - Wood and Cobb.  I have a  concern about Giants losing out on players because they won’t pay top dollar within the particular range.  I don’t know how “real” the Calif tax premium is.  But if that’s reality, deal with it.

Alex Wood signing with SF for 2 years x $10 mm according to Jeff Passan, who is almost always correct on these things.

Saw that a while back. Suspect it will happen.  Also supposedly close on Cobb.  Be very curious to know how hard they pursued Metz.

Cobb and Wood supposedly on team-friendly deals.

Farhan is really good on the team friendly K's. I hope he spends some of the savings on a big time right handed hitter. They are minus both Posey and Chris, leaving Longoria, Casali, Bart(?), Ruf, Solano, Flores, Slater, and the second half call up whom I like who can play many positions. Longoria will probably be injured 1/3 of the season, so that's not a very formidable group. Did I miss anybody?

No.  But I think Slater, Ruf, Solano and Flores are poised for big years.  But I wouldn't be broken-hearted if they added Castellanos.
