Here is a Super Bowl Sunday prediction 49ers fans will love: a long-term deal with Jimmy Garoppolo reportedly could get done “in the near future.”
That is what NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport claimed Sunday morning, some 11 hours before kickoff of Super Bowl LII that pits Garoppolo’s former team, the New England Patriots, against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 49ers, sources told Rapoport, have gained “significant momentum” on a multi-year contract with Garoppolo, who arrived in an Oct. 30 trade and transformed the franchise with a 5-0 finish to the season.
