49ers’ Kyle Shanahan: No scenario in which Jimmy Garoppolo is on team in 2023
After six seasons together, the union between 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and coach Kyle Shanahan looks like it will end this offseason.San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday he couldn’t envision “any scenario” in which quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was on the roster in 2023.
Shanahan and Lynch said the expectation is that Purdy and Trey Lance will be the team’s top two QBs next season and the 49ers will add a lower-tier QB in free agency or the draft. That would seemingly rule out trading for Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers — and Tom Brady removed himself from the discussion by announcing his retirement Wednesday.
Given that Purdy and Lance could both be available for the start of training camp, Shanahan said there wasn’t a need to scour the QB market. Asked if he could envision a scenario in which “Jimmy” remained with the team, Shanahan’s answer was brief.A reporter clarified that he was referring to Garoppolo and not defensive back Jimmie Ward, who will also be unrestricted free agent in March.A year ago, when it appeared likely that Garoppolo had played his last season with the 49ers before he restructured his contract shortly before the 2022 season opener, the tenor was far different.
