A new line of thinking has entered the national discourse about the 49ers’ offseason quarterback moves. First ESPN’s Adam Schefter and then ESPN’s Ryan Clark put forward the idea that San Francisco is not guaranteed to trade Jimmy Garoppolo in the offseason. The problem with that is that it is all but guaranteed they’ll move on under center.
Both Schefter and Clark said Trey Lance isn’t ready and that another season of Garoppolo would be preferable for the 49ers, potentially taking a trade off the table.
The phrase ‘never say never’ is applicable here, but for one key reason there’s something close to zero chance Garoppolo is on the 49ers’ roster in 2022, even if they can’t work out a trade in the offseason.
