GM even noted that Garappolo could enter the 49ers roster this season and rejected the idea that the body would release the veteran QB. “I do not anticipate that,” Leeds said. “He is a very good player. I think Jimmy will play for us or he will play for someone else. He is a very good player and not in the draft of the year. being.” Of course, this was not the intended plan, as the 49ers left an optional boat to sign Trey Lance during last year’s draft. Leeds admitted the same thing when he spoke to reporters. “We value strength in this position,” Lynch said. “To be completely honest, however, when you make an exchange of this magnitude (for Lance), most of our selections did not include Jimmy in our books (in 2022). it did not work out for him. But that’s not bad, though. We feel positive about it. And we will make it work. “ SI.com’s Albert Breer provides more information on the QB situation, noting that Garoppolo’s shoulder was the biggest factor in the 49ers’ commercial difficulties. The plan was to exchange the veteran after the fall of the “big domino general”, but the injury changed things.
