The 49ers have given Jimmy Garoppolo’s agents, Don Yee and Carter Chow, permission to seek a trade for the quarterback, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Garoppolo underwent shoulder surgery in March and his agents told NFL Network that his client was “progressing” and “on schedule” in his rehab process Tuesday. The focus has been to throw consistently without pain to simulate the toll of a game or practice. And now it seems he’s there.
John Lynch, the team’s general manager, told reporters on March 28 that the surgery and recovery timeline ultimately gave possible trade partners pause when the team was looking for suitors.
