Garoppolo is the last starting quarterback domino to fall
The 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo appeared to be headed for a divorce in 2022 ever since San Francisco moved up to the third-overall pick prior to the 2021 NFL draft to select his successor at quarterback, Trey Lance. The 49ers expected to trade Garoppolo in mid-March during the early part of the offseason, with late April's draft as the outside timeframe for his departure.
Everything changed when Garoppolo had surgery in early March on his throwing shoulder because of an injury sustained during a wild card playoff win over the Cowboys. A trade was put on hold because interest in Garoppolo waned with him rehabbing his right shoulder.
Garoppolo just started throwing a football earlier this month. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that Garoppolo should be fully cleared by mid-August. The 49ers report to training camp on July 26. On Wednesday, ESPN reported that Garoppolo has been cleared to start practicing. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones reported that Garoppolo's agents have been given permission to seek a trade, while ESPN reported that Garoppolo has been cleared to start practicing.
