Trade rumors have not stopped for the 30-year-old veteran since the 2021 draft. Last year, the 49ers made brutal trades to advance to third overall to pick quarterback Trey Lance. Star guard with the University of North Dakota in the NCAA.
Despite Lance’s arrival, general manager John Lynch still retained Garoppolo’s services last season. “Jimmy G” started 15 games for the Niners in 2021. He had 3,810 passing yards and a throw for 20 touchdowns.
However, Garoppolo suffered a severe right shoulder injury in the Niners’ playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. He still did not participate in regular training, which delays the process of trade.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan feels confident about young Trey Lance and would be willing to give him the reins of the team.
One year remains on a five-year, $137 million contract that Garoppolo signed ahead of the 2018 season. He is set to receive $25.6 million in 2022.
