Where will Jimmy Garoppolo end up?
Garoppolo helped lead the San Francisco 49ers to the NFC Championship Game this past season, and he has reportedly been linked to another NFC contender with his future in question this offseason.
ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler was tipped another possible landing spot for Garoppolo.
“The wildest rumor I heard this week? Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo potentially pairing with New Orleans,” Fowler wrote. “This would be a surprise since many around the league expect Jameis Winston to return to the Saints. But if Rodgers and Wilson aren’t moved, Garoppolo becomes one of the top options available. Maybe New Orleans at least kicks this idea around.”
There are health questions surrounding both Winston and Garoppolo since the former is coming off a torn ACL and the latter is undergoing shoulder surgery this offseason. Reports suggests Garoppolo should be able to start throwing again before July 4.
That San Francisco have made every indication their willingness to move on from Jimmy G since it selected Trey Lance with the No. 3 overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft after moving up to do so.
Garoppolo himself even told reporters, “I knew this would happen eventually.”

Last season, he completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 3,810 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2021.
Garoppolo is never going to be confused for a Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers, but he is a playoff-tested veteran who has been to the Super Bowl.
