NFL Insider Reveals Latest Jimmy Garoppolo Shoulder Update
Will Jimmy Garoppolo become an expensive backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers?
Aside from going all-in on second-year player Trey Lance, Garoppolo remains on the team’s roster despite attempts to trade him.
He did not really perform exceptionally well during last season’s playoffs even if the 49ers made it to the NFC Championship Game.
His shoulder injury might have limited his performance and it’s also costing San Francisco the chance to get him off their books.
Teams wouldn’t want to trade for a quarterback who has issues with one of the most important body parts for his job.
Sadly, it’s difficult to see a trade partner for the Niners after the 2022 NFL Draft and after the Carolina Panthers traded for Baker Mayfield.
Therefore, the team should accept the reality that they will have to absorb his $24.2 million salary for 2022.
Aside from his trade market drying up, he’s not up to full strength as NFL Network national insider Ian Rapoport revealed.
