The 49ers were about to exchange Jimmy Garoppolo before his surgery on March 8 on his right shoulder. Garoppolo remains on his list, earning $ 25 million in support of Trey Lance.
This is not good for anyone involved, and the 49ers would love to try Garoppolo. But it’s not scheduled to launch until this summer, so even Kyle Shanahan isn’t sure what Garoppolo’s future holds.
“Nothing has changed since that surgery,” Shanahan said Tuesday. “Where we were before that, and then it was operated on, so everything stopped. I hope that at some point, the most similar thing will be changed, but who knows? That’s not a guarantee. It’s been exactly on hold when That ‘s right. When he’ s healthy, we ‘il see what happens. “
The 49ers switched to Trey Lance’s draft with the third overall pick in 2021. Lance is expected to take over as a full-time starter this season after Garoppolo started 15 of last season’s 17 games.
