Following reports from last week that the 49ers had given Jimmy Garoppolo’s agents permission to seek a trade, the team has now “moved on” to Trey Lance as its franchise quarterback, according to a new report.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan met with Garoppolo Tuesday morning, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, with the takeaway being that a parting of ways between San Francisco at the 30-year-old quarterback was imminent.
Despite not being able to find a trade partner, Lynch was clear that the 49ers would not release Garoppolo.
