The 49ers on Tuesday received perhaps the best possible news they could’ve gotten this offseason. No, they didn’t get a first-round pick for Jimmy Garoppolo. Even better – the Seahawks agreed to trade Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a trade package that, frankly, doesn’t matter!
The thorn in a lime green No. 3 jersey that seemed to be perpetually lodged in San Francisco’s side is gone. He’ll head to the AFC West where he can be a problem for the Raiders, Chiefs and Chargers.
No more near sacks that turn into long gains. No more throws that briefly mess up air traffic before floating back down to Earth and nestling into a wide receiver you’ve never heard of’s arms for a 600-yard touchdown. No more mic’d up sessions full of hand clapping, cliches and good-teammate platitudes that sound like they were penned by Disney’s least creative writer.
