That contract blows my mind......
I simply cannot wrap my head around a guy who has played a couple of dozen NFL games hearing those words.
"Jimmy -- we're offering you $137,500,000. How does that sound to you?"

Couple dozen? I think it's about 5 or 6 games.

Niner fans laughed at me about the SB and Brady now I can laugh at how their team has grossly overpaid a QB and it will come back to haunt them.

Not certain how it's structured but it appears that $74M of it is guaranteed. That's almost $15M per year guaranteed!!!!!!

I don't know what I was thinking.
Actually I was thinking "How the hell can he get paid that? He's barely played in NFL". Then I went to his stats and foolishly ignored the pre-season games they had listed.
I really am amazed.......

I'm not shocked he got paid. He was hyped by the media beyond absurdity.
Winning a few meaningless games was the top off. Jimmy needs to send a thank you note to Brady and the media who annoited him the next great one

Good for Jimmy.Must be an amazing feeling knowing your set for life and kids set for life etc..He looked good for Niners and I think he will do ok.Not worth that deal ok but ok.

This keeps getting better and better. Apparently, it's not even the typical back-loaded fictional deal you would expect.
Courtesy of Schefter:
When 49ers' QB Jimmy Garoppolo's 5-year deal gets finalized shortly, it will include the largest three-year cash total for a new contract in NFL history, just shy of $90 million, per source.

I predict a ridiculously lopsided trade between SF and NE in favor of NE very soon because SOMETHING has to even this trade out. Unless and until, the most accurate description would be that Bill Belichick traded Jimmy Garopollo to the team that was the best short-term and long-term situation for Jimmy while sacrificing the return the New England Patriots would receive.
And that can NOT be correct. Can it?

Did Gene Steratore get his own float at the parade?
I'm still pissed, and won't get over it until next February.

Just curious, besides the blatant illegal contact on the last play, and a few holdings (which get let go on every single play in every single game anyway), what did he and his crew do that was so egregious? The replay of the catch was done by NY, and the replay of Ertz's TD was the correct call.

Between the 3 touchdowns that shouldn't have counted (illegal formation, bobbled out of bounds, and Jesse James rule), the clearing out of Hogan, and the Eagles' massive holding all night long, he gave them breaks. The only blatantly missed one on the other side I can remember was the 2 point conversion play where our DB (was it Rowe on that one?) got contact way before the ball.
But as I said a million times Sunday and Monday, it wasn't the refs' fault we lost, our defense never should've let it get to a position where a blown call or three could make the difference. But ass bad as we played on defense, if even one of those TDs is overturned, different ballgame.

The Jesse James rule was not applicable on that play. He had turned into a runner. I forgot about the illegal formation.

I'm rooting for Jimmy and the Niners as long as they don't play the Patriots, but they have a long way to go and are putting a lot of eggs in that basket. If that much of a percentage of your cap is invested in a QB who started 7 games, how much money is left for the rest of the roster?
