With training camps opening up, speculation lingers regarding one veteran quarterback who might find a new home for the 2022 season. That moved one step closer to fruition, as the San Francisco 49ers have granted quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo permission to seek a trade.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was one of the first to report the news on Wednesday:
49ers officially have given Jimmy Garoppolo’s agents Don Yee and Carter Chow permission to seek a trade, sources said. Garoppolo has been cleared to start practicing, per team source; 49ers still are expected to exercise caution with him this summer.
