49ers Insider Shares The Team’s Belief In Trey Lance

The San Francisco 49ers are in a good position for several reasons after restructuring Jimmy Garoppolo‘s contract.

First, they have lowered his cap hit to free up space for other players they might want to sign.

Second, it gives them stability at quarterback, especially when you consider that Garoppolo has helped the Niners reach last year’s NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LIV.

Third, Garoppolo’s no-trade clause allows him to have a say on his next destination if he still gets traded within the season.

Finally, Trey Lance will still have his mentor as he leads the 49ers in his second season.

Speaking of which, The Athletic’s David Lombardi argued that retaining Garoppolo would help Lance improve.
