Report: Jimmy Garoppolo Didn't Talk to 49ers for 'Weeks' After New Contract in 2018

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo reportedly didn't talk to the team for "weeks and weeks" after inking a five-year, $137.5 million contract extension with the 49ers in Feb. 2018.

"Once he left that press conference, nobody heard from him for weeks and weeks," a member of that 49ers coaching staff told Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle.

"He didn’t return calls, he didn’t return texts—he basically just vanished. And we were looking at each other going, ‘What just happened?'"

The 49ers added Garoppolo from the New England Patriots via trade in the middle of the 2017 season.
