Zach Wilson reportedly avoided serious injury Friday night, quieting rumors of a possible Jimmy Garoppolo trade between the 49ers and Jets.
San Francisco intends to part ways with Garoppolo before the regular season begins. The front office is looking for a trade partner and reportedly is willing to hang on to the quarterback until roster cut-down day Aug. 30.
Had Wilson been ruled out for the season, Garoppolo would be a better option under center than the Jets' pair of backups in Joe Flacco and Mike White. He has experience working with Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, who was the passing game coordinator for Garoppolo's first four seasons in San Francisco.
Although Wilson's status for the Jets' Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 11 remains in question, it appears he won't miss more than a month, wiping away the chances of Garoppolo getting traded to New York. The Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks remain among the top suitors for Garoppolo before the season begins.
