NFL Rumors: 49ers Won't Deal Garoppolo Unless Return Value 'Overwhelms'

The 49ers are widely expected to take a quarterback with the third pick in Thursday's 2021 NFL draft, though, who exactly their selection will be remains in question.

Whoever they take, however, will likely still enter next season in the same quarterback room with current starter Jimmy Garoppolo.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the team has no plans to trade Garoppolo prior to the draft unless the value "overwhelms them." According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, multiple teams are expected to contact San Francisco on Thursday about the availability of Garoppolo, but as of Thursday morning, the chance of him being traded are "remote," in the words of one of Schefter's sources.
