It was just earlier this offseason when reports surfaced that the 49ers had received a trade offer for Jimmy Garoppolo. Well, John Lynch is stating the complete opposite.
Lynch revealed on Monday that the 49ers haven’t received a single trade offer for Jimmy Garoppolo.
Despite the lack of trade offers, general manager John Lynch stated that he doesn’t plan to release Jimmy G outright.
“I don’t foresee that,” Lynch said, via ESPN. “He’s too good a player. I think Jimmy will be playing for us or will be playing for someone else. He’s too good of a player not to be.”
Following the Niners’ NFC Championship loss to the Rams, the presumption was San Francisco would trade Garoppolo to a QB-needy club and move forward with first-round pick Trey Lance as its quarterback. Since then, Garoppolo underwent shoulder surgery and several QB-needy teams have filled their position.
