Word is McDaniels' agent, Bob LaMonte, "told the OC that he's making perhaps the biggest professional mistake of his career by backing out of this Colts job at this point". The guy didn't even call his coaches the Colt's had already hired. Colt's fans have one more reason to hate New England.

^^^ I'm sure his agent is pi$$ed about the money he just lost when his client backed out of the deal.

It's not about the money on that deal.  It's the fact that McDaniels, who already had a poor rep from his botched stint in Denver, has just proven to the world that he's still just as immature and unprofessional as he was then.  So now his agent knows that whatever NE offers in the future is what McDaniels will have to take, because he's poison to the rest of the league.

His former agent is also the agent for the GM of the Colts.  His agent is pissed because another client is pissed.  Bit of a conflict of interests.  Not uncommon in the NFL, it was also a conflict of interests for Brady and Jimmy G to have the same agent.

It's more than pissing off a client. Guys left their teams to coach for him and then he quit on them with not even a call. Going to be hard to find great people who trust him in the future.

Seems odd he would want to stay with New England when the QB is getting ready to retire while Indy already has a franchise QB .... unless Garapolo is coming back?  Hmmm How pissed would San Fran be if Garrapolo was sent to San Fran to get in some game time while he was waiting to play in New England?

I'm not saying this is in the same line of statements (it's close) - but NE fans up here say similar things about Jimmy.  It's almost as though folks don't understand SF, for all intent and purposes, own his rights until they don't want to (or until a work stoppage and new contract brings an end to the franchise tag if he's not under contract by then).  Like Cousins in WAS, if they so desired, SF could simply slap the tag on him every year.

So, sure - NE could get him back.  For a price.

Jimmy Garoppolo will be SF's QB for a minimum of 5-7 years. No tags necessary...Jimmy will have his long-term contract signed before the season starts.

@MikeGarafoloThe 49ers and QB Jimmy Garoppolo have agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million contract, source says. The biggest deal in NFL history on a average-per-year basis.

It's everything I was hoping for.

Now if he can tank like Matt Flynn, this will be one of the best possible non-MIA outcomes for me in a while:

- Deflategate forces Jimmy G to start
- JG overachieves, due in part to a victory over MIA
- SF loses an early pick trading to NE
- SF makes that NE pick worse by winning
- SF makes JG the highest paid QB in the league
- JG falls apart due to no money for a supporting cast and an incompetent front office, while staying far away from NE's highly-competent front office

Not sure it will help, but you might want to try a good therapist for all that pent-up crapola you've got going on. Wink

I have no judgement on the deal,IMO If the 49ers believe in Jimmy Garoppolo is their guy,then good for them on actually committing to lock him up.(Unlike Washington with Cousins,going year,to year B.S.)

Albert Breer tweeted something Interesting about his contract

@AlbertBreer: Anyone staring at numbers and wondering how Jimmy Garoppolo got that is missing what drives deals. It's not merit, it's leverage. The Niners were gonna have to put the exclusive tag on him at about $26 million. Based on that, $27.5 million per is a fair market deal.
