As the weeks go by, everything seems to indicate that Jimmy Garoppolo is still out of the San Francisco 49ers’ plans to be their quarterback next season.
The problem is that they have not gotten teams fully interested in acquiring the QB, who is recovering from right shoulder surgery and will earn $24.2 million in 2022.
Letting him walk free to save $26.9 million in salary cap is also an option, but before that, San Francisco wants to get something in return and are holding out as long as they can until they get a trade for the player.
Therefore, taking into account what is being predicted in Las Vegas and teams’ chances to get the quarterback, here is a list of the five NFL teams that are aiming to get him.
Teams’ Odds to Keep Jimmy Garoppolo for Next NFL Season
Seattle Seahawks (+800)
While it looks virtually impossible for the 49ers to hand a QB to a division rival, it has happened before and San Francisco’s desperation could make it possible.
The Seahawks seem to be super interested in Garoppolo after the departure of Russell Wilson and if not via trade, the organization expects him to be released to negotiate directly with him.
Atlanta Falcons (+750)
The Falcons are in a bit of a strange revamping, and Jimmy Garoppolo could help improve a team that is aiming to win some games without fighting for much.
“Jimmy G” is undoubtedly a better offensive weapon than Marcus Mariota, so Atlanta may surprise us in the next few days.
Houston Texans (+500)
Another organization undergoing changes, but rather drastic ones. The Texans are brimming with young blood, and everything will hinge on the team’s desire to see Davis Mills thrive.
Will they continue to bet on the future, or will they want to add experience to a group with midterm promise? Houston’s current management knows Garoppolo from his time in New England, which may be favorable.
Detroit Lions (+400)
The Lions fared well in the last draft, and this team’s expectations are high in a medium term.
Having Jared Goff as the starting QB may not be the best regarding the direction the team intends to go, and a good move could put the Lions up for grabs right away.
Cleveland Browns (+300)
Wow, wow. These Browns people never cease to amaze us, and in a matter of days they could be making another big move in the market with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Deshaun Watson appears to have a lengthy suspension in his future, and Cleveland may not want to give the team’s responsibility to Jacoby Brissett. The problem is that the Browns don’t have a lot of material to send to San Francisco; however, there is money to pay “Jimmy G”. Let’s wait and see what happens.
