San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo remains.Monday, Garoppolo agreed to a restructured one-year contract CBS Sports NFL Insider Josina Anderson and Jonathan Jones reportThe contract contains no trade and no tag clauses. According to ESPNGaroppolo will become a free agent next offseason.
Garoppolo’s no-trade clause doesn’t mean he can’t be traded, According to ESPNIt simply means that Garoppolo must participate in the negotiations and he must agree to the deal.
According to NFL MediaGaroppolo’s new deal is worth a fully guaranteed $6.5 million and includes incentives that could push his money closer to $16 million. had to make a decision about Jimmy G, and he would return to the team as backup for Tralance.
Garoppolo’s starting base salary for 2022 is $24.2 million, which is likely the main reason his trading market hasn’t materialized. Especially since the quarterback has shoulder surgery in the offseason.Just last week, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan did not rule out the possibility I’m keeping Jimmy G in San Francisco in the fold. The 49ers now have a very solid backup plan in case something goes wrong.
Garoppolo’s name remained in the news throughout the offseason.Rival Seattle Seahawks under consideration Add Jimmy G to the quarterback fight.Also, earlier this month, the Cleveland Browns Let’s take a look at Garoppolo If DeShawn Watson’s suspension increased, it did. When New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson went down with a knee injury in Week 1 of the preseason, San Francisco defensive Robert, who was familiar with Garoppolo as his coordinator, many thought his Surrey would move. but that didn’t happen either.
As time went on, it became more and more likely that the 49ers could keep Garoppolo, and 49ers owner Jed Yorke recently said the team was in no rush to trade the QB. happy to have him.
“Like I said before, you can’t have enough good quarterbacks or good footballers,” Yorke told The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami. “I’m not going to talk about roster discussions or what John[Lynch]and Kyle[Shanahan]want to do, but I’m going to support them because they want this team to be as good as possible.”
“I watched it with Joe[Montana]and Steve[Young]and realized that today’s salary cap isn’t what it would be if there wasn’t a salary cap. Put him on the roster. It’s true.”
Garoppolo, who turns 31 in November, had 3,810 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 15 games last season, going 9-6 as a starter. San Francisco rebounded from his 2-4 start, advancing to the playoffs with a 10-7 record, and in the NFC Championship Game against eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles, where he won the postseason before losing to the Rams. He pulled off two consecutive upsets. Despite an impressive campaign overall, there’s a reason the 49ers gave up the king’s ransom and picked Lance for his third overall last year.
Jimmy G was traded from the New England Patriots to the 49ers midway through the 2017 season. He capped off the year by winning his first five starts with the 49ers before San Francisco gave him 5-year, $137.5 million dealGaroppolo tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2018 season, but returned in 2019 to lead the 49ers to a 13-3 record and a Super Bowl appearance against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Garoppolo has the fourth-highest winning percentage among all NFL quarterbacks since 2016, but the 49ers offense utilizes San Francisco’s impressive rushing offense and various playmakers such as Deebo Samuel. Compared to the ingenuity, it was never headlined by Jimmy G’s arm. As soon as the 49ers made his big trade to No. 3 overall in his 2021 NFL Draft, it felt as if Garoppolo’s days as the franchise’s starting quarterback were coming to an end.
With the 49ers’ decision to keep Garoppolo, there will be a lot of talk about the team’s level of confidence in Lance. Either way, their quarterback room is stronger with veterans who have spent years on offense.
