Good for them, they got their guy, but man, things literally couldn't have broken better for Jimmy if it were a movie. He gets dealt before the season ends to a team in an awesome city, with a massive amount of cap room, and nowhere to go but up. And instead of riding the pine for the rest of the year, SF gives him a chance, and while he wasn't some Canton-Bound prodigy IMO, he was pretty good, and of course, he piled up some wins. The end result? The richest contract in NFL history. Not too bad for a 2nd round kid from Eastern Illinois who two months ago had played a total of 6 quarters of NFL football. That's the shit dreams are made of.
Doesn't San Fran still have like 4 billion dollars left on the cap? So if Jimmy does end up being a legit stud, they are actually in a great position to load up the roster with the help he needs. Gonna be interesting to see what they do in free agency, draft time, etc. They have to be one of the most active organizations between now and opening day.
