On Tuesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo wouldn’t be cleared until mid-August. The initial reaction was that would throw a wrench in what would happen next with Jimmy.
One day later, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Niners had given Garoppolo’s agents Don Yee and Carter Chow permission to seek a trade. Schefter also added that Garoppolo had been cleared to start practicing, though the 49ers are expected to exercise caution with Garoppolo this summer.
This feels like the team making an extra push to create what appears to be a non-existent trade market.
