It feels like ages ago, but at one point this offseason the 49ers were preparing to say goodbye to Jimmy Garoppolo.
in early March, sidelining him until training camp. Understandably, interested teams were hesitant to trade for a quarterback who is unable to throw and Garoppolo's market quickly evaporated. on Monday where he revealed that the team was close to dealing Garoppolo before the shoulder surgery.
"I felt like we were close in some discussions and then the decision was made to have surgery and that brought things to a screeching halt, people just don't do that even with a likelihood that everything is going to be good," Lynch said."We continue to get calls about Jimmy and one thing we as a group got together he's too good of a player, he's got a lot of good tape out there. You don't just let guys like that walk out the door.
"As for inflection points, once he starts throwing and stuff people will be more comfortable. Then obviously, you've got to let things play out for other teams and part of that was the draft. And just like we're doing, everyone goes okay we just had the draft, then you go back and re-evaluate the roster and see where you're at and obviously throughout the offseason and into training camp injuries can happen as well.
