I think they'll trade.  Even a 2026 7th round pick.  They're on the hook for about $8.5 million if they don't trade him.

But a trade means that Jimmy G's contract (i.e., $25M next season) is still in effect, right?.  Why would anyone pay that?  You can sign him in open market, after release, for a LOT less.

I happen to think Jimmy G, when healthy, is a very good QB; however, I would not pay the guy $25M next season.  No way.  I figure Jimmy will sign up as some team's backup QB for a year at $5-$7M, and then we'll see.  If starter gets injured our otherwise is out, Jimmy may shine (again, assuming good health).  Or, he could hold a clip board all year and make very good coin for such work.

I see a release by 'Niners; no trade, unless there is a way to re-work the K for new team as part of that trade (no clue if that's possible or plausible).
