Garoppolo’s shoulder surgery thwarted any trade talks to move him off the roster while quarterback vacancies filled up around the league this month, Lynch confirmed Monday at the NFL owners’ meetings in South Beach, Fla.
“There were a ton of conversations and I think there was real good momentum,” Lynch said, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. “Then, the decision that was made for Jimmy to have surgery certainly caused a lot of teams to pause and at least slow down the process to do their due diligence.
