The 49ers and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo are one step closer to a split.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday reported Garoppolo and his agent Don Yee were given permission by the 49ers to seek a trade after Garoppolo was cleared to start practicing.
This doesn’t come as a huge surprise since the 49ers were also willing to let teams discuss terms of a new deal with Garoppolo according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
