Jimmy Garoppolo received a bouquet of kind words Tuesday from 49ers' honchos John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan before the quarterback's expected offseason departure.
Their next communication likely will be to explain where Garoppolo is headed, or who might be interested in trading for him.
There was no official sendoff in the end-of-season press conference, but the vibe certainly centered on giving thanks to Garoppolo and teeing up Trey Lance for his 2022 takeover.
