All signs still point to the 49ers aiming to facilitate a trade to move quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. But the real mystery lies in which team would be willing to make a move for the veteran signal-caller this late in the offseason, given how many teams already filled their need at the position.
One team that has regularly been rumored to be interested in Garoppolo is the Carolina Panthers, who right now have a quarterback depth chart headlined by Sam Darnold and rookie third-round pick Matt Corral.
Garoppolo’s skill set and body of work present a clear upgrade over either option, but would Carolina be willing to part with additional draft capital after investing a handful of picks into the position over the last couple of seasons?
