Jimmy Garoppolo is set to hit free agency next Wednesday after the San Francisco 49ers already confirmed that his time at the franchise has come to an end.
The quarterback has been with the 49ers since 2017 and when Trey Lance's season was ended with an ankle injury in September, Garoppolo made a surprise return to the starting line-up only for a foot injury of his own to curtail his campaign in December. He had enjoyed his best year with the franchise since arriving by completing 67.2 per cent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan admitted "I don't see any scenario of that" when asked if he could see a situation where Garoppolo would return to the 49ers next season.
