One of the last remaining trade destinations for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo appears to have been shut.
The Cleveland Browns, who had been rumored to be interested in Garoppolo, will not acquire the veteran Niners player — at least in a trade, according to a report from Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
"They believe in Jacoby Brissett," Jones reported on the Browns. "... They're not going to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. They are not going to trade for his salary cap number, which is around $24 million. Everyone in the NFL is waiting on the San Francisco 49ers to ultimately cut Jimmy Garoppolo, and then there can be a sort of feeding frenzy on Garoppolo.
