Jimmy Garoppolo Rumors: Trade Partner 'Does Not Exist' for 49ers Ahead of Week 1

Jimmy Garoppolo is not likely to be traded before Week 1.

According to Ian Rapoport, a trade partner for the San Francisco 49ers in a deal to move the veteran quarterback doesn't exist. The franchise will have to make a decision on whether or not to cut him.

The final year of Garoppolo's contract will see him make $26.9 million. The 49ers will save $24.9 million against the salary cap and $2 million in dead cap if they cut him.

Most of the quarterback-needy teams have already turned to other players despite the fact that the 30-year-old has been included in trade rumors.

Baker Mayfield won the team's starting job after being acquired by the Carolinas. The Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Mitchell Trubisky all signed rookies.

With Drew Lock and Geno Smith at quarterback, the Seattle Seahawks could be an option in the future. The franchise is still interested in Garoppolo, according to an interview with an executive from the National Football League.

The 49ers could decide to release the veteran if a trade partner isn't found.

Most of Garoppolo's time in San Francisco has been spent on the sideline with injuries, even though he led the team to the Super Bowl and an appearance in the playoffs.

The 49ers have decided to start Lance as their starting quarterback in 2020. He threw for 603 yards and five touchdown in six games as a first year player. He had 168 yards and a touchdown.

Garoppolo would serve as his backup if he stays in San Francisco this year.
