Destinations for Jimmy Garoppolo are running low as training camps get ready to open. One starting job still potentially available is up in Seattle where the Seahawks are working through a quarterback battle between Drew Lock and Geno Smith. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Monday reported Seattle has done its homework on Garoppolo as they explore other options.
“And you have Seattle that’s still out there. They were sort of implicated in the Baker Mayfield situation – didn’t make that move,” Fowler said Monday on SportsCenter. “I’m told that internally, they have discussed the possibility of Garoppolo playing for them. They’ve done their film work to see how he would fit. It’s tricky, certainly, to do a trade inside of the NFC West, but the 49ers and Seattle know they can maybe sort of wait this out.”
This is a fascinating conundrum for the 49ers. Depending on if/when they want to take action on Garoppolo, the Seahawks may be their only choice.
