After driving last offseason rumor mill with speculation about which quarterback prospect the San Francisco 49ers would select with the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, they are back in the center of speculation mania as they decide the future of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. With Trey Lance waiting for San Francisco to move on from Garoppolo so he can take his place atop the Niners’ quarterback depth chart, a trade is presumably on the horizon.
Garoppolo’s long-term prospects with the 49ers were torpedoed when San Francisco traded up to draft a quarterback last year.
