ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler wrote an article that had reactions from executives around the NFL responding to the moves made during free agency. It’s a great piece that has plenty of interesting nuggets.
According to Fowler, the Colts never had “substantive” talks with the 49ers about inquiring Jimmy Garoppolo:
I’m told that Indy didn’t have substantive talks with the Browns on Baker Mayfield or the 49ers on Jimmy Garoppolo in its quarterback search. In fact, the Colts heavily weighed the free-agent option, knowing they wouldn’t have to relinquish a draft pick to get a starter.
