The 49ers and Commanders had an agreement to send quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from San Francisco to Washington during the offseason, but the deal fell through due to Garoppolo’s decision to undergo shoulder surgery, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
The two sides had reportedly agreed to the deal at the NFL combine in March, and the Commanders would have sent multiple draft picks to the 49ers in exchange for Garoppolo. However, after Garoppolo chose to get surgery, Washington backed out of the trade.
Instead, the Commanders traded for quarterback Carson Wentz, sending the Colts two third-round picks and a fourth-round pick in the deal.
