49ers Reveal How Interested They Were In Tom Brady
The San Francisco 49ers were interested in Tom Brady to some degree. How much? That is unclear at this stage.
Recently, John Lynch appeared on the Rich Eisen Show and attempted to shine some light on the situation.
“When we weighed it all together, we didn’t think it would,” he said.
“We felt great with where we were at, and kind of confirmed how we are with Jimmy.”
It all essentially came down to the franchise’s confidence in Garoppolo.
“So of course Kyle and I have discussions…We’re always into getting better, so you look at everything, especially a situation like that. But within a day or two, Kyle and I looked at each other and said, ‘You know what, we really like what we have in Jimmy.’”
“When you hear that stuff and it actually is realistic, for you not to look into it, to me, would be completely irresponsible.”
Kyle Shanahan joined @timkawakami on “The TK Show” to talk Tom Brady rumors and more.
