The 49ers and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo have agreed to terms on a restructured one-year contract that will make him the highest-paid backup in the NFL, according to multiple reports.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Garoppolo, who lost his starting spot to touted second-year QB Trey Lance earlier this offseason, will earn a fully guaranteed base salary of $6.5 million in 2022. Prior to the restructure, Garoppolo, 30, was set to account for $26.95 million in cap space with a non-guaranteed $24.2 million base salary; had the 49ers found a trade partner or released the QB, it would’ve saved the team $25.55 million.
