From what I've read, SF will either sign Jimmy long-term, or slap the franchise tag on him. If they do the latter, then NE would have to sign him to a ridiculous deal that SF doesn't match and I think SF gets something like 2 first rounders as compensation. So, um, I don't see this happening. Of course, I may not have the rules right....I only follow NFL stuff from a distance.

I guess NE needed something else to keep themselves in the news this year lol
