Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch have both referred to Lance as being “made of the right stuff,” and I can’t help but wonder if this is part of what they were talking about. “The Jimmy Garoppolo vanishing act,” as Silver called it, occurred every year of Garoppolo’s tenure with the 49ers except last year. “When the press conference [announcing his new contract] ended, Garoppolo shook hands, flashed his multi-million-dollar smile and disappeared into the offseason ether.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo reportedly did not have the best texting habits after signing a hefty contract with the franchise.

Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. at Levi's Stadium. And we were looking at each other going, ‘What just happened?’” Garoppolo "ghosting" the 49ers seems understandable this offseason given the team's clear desire to move on to Trey Lance, but it appears his lack of reachability in years past surprised members of the staff.

Why a Jimmy Garoppolo trade becomes more likely for 49ers as the ... (Sporting News)

Then, in March, Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson and Matt Ryan all moved to new teams to continue their careers. Things stayed quiet for a few months after that ...

It's unclear what the 49ers' asking price for Garoppolo has been thus far, but a drop may spark more interest in him and could help to facilitate a deal. So, the 49ers could drop their asking price for Jimmy G as they make a last-ditch effort to offload him for any type of asset. Some may think that the 49ers will keep Garoppolo beyond cut day, but in reality, it will be hard for the team to justify doing that. As such, the 49ers can cut Garoppolo to save nearly $25.6 million in cap space. There are a handful of teams across the NFL hosting quarterback competitions that could quickly go awry. It seems unlikely that he would suit up for the 49ers given that he isn't practicing with them. It shows that he is progressing, even if potential suitors can't see that on the field. So, a lot of teams feel like they have a plan for the position. But as Jimmy G trade watch enters its 11th hour, there is reason to believe that the preseason could finally lead to a move. The clock continues to tick on a potential Garoppolo deal as Week 1 of the season draws nearer. It makes sense that the Niners would want to give Lance, the No. 3 overall pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, a chance to start. Things stayed quiet for a few months after that before Baker Mayfield headed from Cleveland to Carolina to compete for the Panthers' starting job.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is getting badmouthed on way out (SFGate)

The San Francisco 49ers aren't worried about the door hitting Jimmy Garoppolo on the way out, apparently.

The latter seems to make a bit more sense as the Niners started pivoting towards publicly acknowledging they’re done with Garoppolo. Back in late July, coach Kyle Shanahan finally was clear that Jimmy G wouldn’t be on the team this season. After all, the team did trade a king’s ransom for the former FCS quarterback and at some point there needs to be a return on that investment. Why exactly someone from the Niners decided to talk about Garoppolo like this when they should be boosting his trade value isn't clear.

Edelman’s comments as a former teammate of both Garoppolo and Brissett are interesting to look back on as are some of the former Patriot QBs struggles. With the 49ers moving on to Trey Lance, Garoppolo to the Browns talk will likely heat up if Harvey brings down a long suspension. If Harvey rules Watson out for at least a year, things could change.

Browns and Jimmy Garoppolo pairing makes sense for both sides (Dawg Pound Daily)

Jimmy Garoppolo could be a realistic option for the Browns starting quarterback job this season depending on how long Deshaun Watson is suspended.

Garoppolo is a two-time Super Bowl champion and a player who has proven he knows how to win a football game. First, his chance of winning a Super Bowl would be highest with Cleveland’s current roster, which is one of the best in the league. This is one of a few reasons why it seems unlikely for Cleveland to acquire Garoppolo via trade. Thursday night, AP reported that Watson’s side is willing to settle for an 8-game suspension as well as a $5 million fine. Garoppolo is not in their plans whatsoever. It’s currently unknown whether or not the league will be willing to settle on such a lower number away from one full season.

Veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is nearing the end of his up-and-down tenure in Northern California. If the San Francisco 49ers can't find a trade ...

Whether this report expedited the end of his tenure with the 49ers remains to be seen. Shanahan wanted to work with him as the new face of the franchise prepared for his first full season with San Francisco. He had posted a 5-0 record to close out the 2017 season. He then missed 10 games in 2020 to injury and was mediocre this past season despite San Francisco earning a trip to the NFC Championship Game. It just won’t be with Jimmy Garoppolo in the roster. As Silver noted, head coach Kyle Shanahan was fully prepared to get to work with Garoppolo leading up to the 2018 season. It started immediately after he signed a then-record five-year, $137.5 million extension with San Francisco back in February of 2018.

Jimmy Garoppolo Went Dark After Scoring $137.5 Million Deal (OutKick)

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo reportedly vanished during most offseasons, not answering the team's texts and calls.

So strong, in fact, that the 49ers offered him that massive contract when he had only seven starts to his credit. The San Francisco 49ers signed quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a mammoth five-year deal worth $137.5 million in 2018. That’s a pretty unusual thing to do once someone — anyone — agrees to pay you more than $100 million.

Jimmy Garoppolo to the Cleveland Browns, evaluating fit and ... (Sportsnaut)

Facing uncertainty surrounding Deshaun Watson, we evaluate how Jimmy Garoppolo fits the Cleveland Browns and what a trade might cost.

The Browns are a run-heavy team with an outstanding offensive line, key factors that would set Garoppolo up for success. It’s a deal that could work out for both sides. Realistically, Watson is going to miss at least half of Cleveland’s regular-season games this season and there’s a shot he doesn’t play at all in 2022. Cleveland could send a conditional draft pick that is dependent on how many games Garoppolo plays this season. Trey Lance is firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback and the organization can’t go back on that decision without damaging its young starter’s reputation. The NFL’s appeal of the six-game ban handed down by former federal judge Sue L. Robinson could result in a year-long suspension.

On Friday, NFL Network analyst Jamie Erdahl revealed her top-five potential landing spots for veteran quarterback Jimmy Garappolo.

I just don’t like the Browns as a destination for him," Erdahl wrote. "Am I nuts?! While Jimmy G has no doubt proven himself as a starting quarterback option in the league, Erdahl believes his best option is returning to his backup QB role behind Tom Brady.

Silver described it as a “glaring exception,” and one has to wonder if the change in attitude had anything to do with the Niners trading up to draft Trey Lance. That usually means the person has read receipts on and you can see that they opened the message. The 49ers announced the deal in a press conference with Garoppolo, and it was supposedly weeks until they heard from him after that.

Jimmy Garoppolo future hinges on Zach Wilson injury, Jets' move (Niner Noise)

There's a chance the 49ers could look to the Jets as a trade partner for Jimmy Garoppolo, depending how serious Zach Wilson's knee injury is.

Garoppolo and Saleh have a rapport, of course, given Saleh’s tenure as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator between 2017 and 2020. If it’s an MCL injury, Wilson’s timeline for recovery could be weeks, not a season-ending injury. That said, if Wilson is expected to miss the season, one has to think San Francisco would be calling Saleh and the Jets front office to offer a deal.

As the 49ers look to trade Jimmy Garoppolo, a new team might be on the list of possible destinations after Friday's slate of preseason games.

The team gave his representation permission to seek a trade after the season. Garoppolo appears to be making good progress in his throwing routine from shoulder surgery he underwent in March. Currently, the Jets’ quarterbacks are Joe Flacco, Mike White and Chris Streveler.

He currently has a career record of 33-14. Mike LaFleur, who is the current offensive coordinator of the Jets, was Garoppolo’s quarterback coach during this time as well. The extent of Zach Wilson’s injury is still unknown.
