An offseason curveball buckled the 49ers’ offseason plans at quarterback. After they lost the NFC championship game their plan was clear: they were going to trade Jimmy Garoppolo, and they’d have several suitors in the trade market. That path has all gone out the window now after a dramatic shift in the QB landscape and offseason shoulder surgery for Garoppolo. While the outcome of Garoppolo’s offseason is still unknown, we have a prediction.
General manager John Lynch, head coach Kyle Shanahan and team CEO Jed York have all said the club is open to bringing Garoppolo back for training camp and possibly going into the year with him and his $26.95 million cap hit on the roster.
They may all be open to that, but it’s hard to envision them going that route. So how might this play out?
