Jimmy Garoppolo can officially return to the practice field — and start searching for his next home.
The 49ers have now given their quarterback and his agents permission to seek a trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday afternoon, adding that Garoppolo has also been cleared for practice after March shoulder surgery.
Of course, this is no surprise for anyone who’s been following the Garoppolo saga this offseason. The team has signaled its desire for a trade since Garoppolo’s season-ending press conference in which he said goodbye to the Bay Area media members who had covered him since midway through the 2017 season.
