There has been a lot of speculation about the deal struck between the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots. There had been talk the Patriots were holding out for one more first round picks, and that they might try and make a long-term transition plan work. Instead, out of nowhere, they dealt Garoppolo for a high second round pick.
One of the pluses to the addition of John Lynch has been the notion that he gets along well with folks. He developed relationships during his time on FOX Sports, and in his radio and TV spots, he seems easy-going and very comfortable.
