Seattle would be a compelling landing spot, for obvious reasons. In third position are the Texans, at +400. Next, the Dolphins (sorry, TuAnon) at +330. The folks at DraftKings have posted three favorites. The Seahawks have the shortest odds, +275. He’s on the fringe of the top twenty, which means that roughly 10 starters are worse than him. Unless a starter goes down or someone makes a bargain-basement offer (and Garoppolo agrees to a much lower salary), he’s getting cut - likely when the rosters move to 53.Įventually, he’ll join another team. It would be a win-win for team and player the 49ers would get a more significant return, and Garoppolo would be more likely to get all or most of his $25 million compensation package for the final year of his current contract.īut season-ending injuries to starting quarterbacks don’t happen on a regular basis during training camp (where they aren’t touched) or the preseason (where they rarely play). It appears that the 49ers and Garoppolo have decided, at least for now, to wait for a starting quarterback with another team to suffer a season-ending injury. Since then, there has been (checks Twitter) no reporting of any team, name or unnamed, having interest in Garoppolo. Several days ago, the 49ers essentially invited one or more of the other 31 teams to make an offer, any offer, for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
