NFL Trade Rumors: 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo Linked to Saints amid Buzz on QB's Future

Jimmy Garoppolo helped lead the San Francisco 49ers to the NFC Championship Game this past season, and he has reportedly been linked to another NFC contender with his future in question this offseason.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested the "wildest rumor" he heard at the NFL Scouting Combine was the pairing of Garoppolo with the New Orleans Saints.

"This would be a surprise since many around the league expect Jameis Winston to return to the Saints," he wrote. "But if [Aaron] Rodgers and [Russell] Wilson aren't moved, Garoppolo becomes one of the top options available. Maybe New Orleans at least kicks this idea around.
