Despite trade rumors surrounding Jimmy Garoppolo, it appears the San Francisco 49ers quarterback could become a free agent in the coming weeks or months leading up to the 2022 season.
According to ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio, the 49ers could cut Garoppolo after he underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder. A source told Florio that no team will want to trade for the veteran quarterback because of the shoulder surgery and his hefty $25 million salary.
The news comes after Florio reported 49ers general manager John Lynch was telling interested teams that he had an offer of two second-round picks for Garoppolo.
