Not sure how legitimate that is, or if its just people connecting the dots that at #9 it seems like Denver will be on the outside looking in trying to get one of the top 4 QB prospects (Lawrence/Wilson/Fields/Lance) however they have the cap space to absorb Jimmy via trade.
I don't love the idea going into next season with a rookie QB (or Rosen or Sudfeld) but if Denver wants to give something like a 3rd this year and a conditional 2nd next year, I'd be pretty tempted to pull the trigger on that.
I'd consider seeing if the Broncos would go for a Jimmy G for Von Miller swap.
Even at his age Miller along with Bosa would be a pretty fearsome pass rush and if Dee Ford can at least be a part time player that can rotate with Bosa and Miller especially to keep them fresh that's be icing on the cake.
Honestly, that wouldn't interest me personally.
Miller is not only coming off a severe ankle injury that caused him to miss the entire 2020 season, but he's also in the final year of this contract as well. Which means you are making that trade with only next year in mind, a year in which you would be starting a rookie QB which really caps the ceiling for the team. Plus we don't really know what we would be getting with the current version of Von Miller. Team isn't really in a great cap position to retain Miller after this season either.
If 9ers will be trading Garoppolo, I would much prefer getting draft picks to help restock the cupboard. If 9ers will be rolling with a rookie QB this season, I would need something that has potential to help the team for several years to come because this current season would more or less be sacrificed. No rookie QB has ever taken his team to a super bowl, I guess there is always potential for someone to actually become the first guy to do so, but its VERY unlikely to happen.
