It was a long fall on the quarterback carousel from the Russell Wilson stallion to the Carson Wentz hobby horse. With plenty of teams still needing quarterbacks and not nearly enough great ones to go around, Jimmy Garoppolo becomes a very attractive potential option.
Possibly attractive enough for a bidding war to emerge for Garoppolo. Jimmy enters the final year of his contract, at a compensation package of $24.8 million, along with $750,000 in per-game roster bonuses. It’s believed that the 49ers will trade him, but it’s not a certainty; last year, team owner Jed York acknowledged the possibility of keeping Garoppolo for two seasons while 2021 rookie Trey Lance develops.
The potential compensation for Garoppolo could be a factor. If several teams enter the bidding, that’s an advantage for the 49ers.
