PALM BEACH, Fla. -- With the expectation that a trade would be forthcoming and Trey Lance would be taking over as the team's starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo sounded certain that his Feb. 1 press conference would be his last as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
Nearly two months later, Garoppolo is still with the 49ers and that doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. Speaking at the NFL owners meetings at the Breakers hotel, Niners general manager John Lynch made it clear he doesn't envision a scenario in which Garoppolo will be released.
