Maybe, but I get the feeling that BB knew Grapollo is a special player and wanted no part of him in the AFC. I think there is more truth to the ESPN version of events which indicated BB was told by ownership to trade him. Getting some extra compensation above the 49ers offer of a 2nd was not worth having him in the AFC.
