There’s some good news on the Jimmy Garoppolo health front. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Twitter), the 49ers quarterback “remains on schedule” as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery.

Per Fowler, Garoppolo’s throwing timetable hasn’t changed. Coach Kyle Shanahan recently said that the veteran QB is expected to start throwing in the next weeks, and Fowler says that the early-July target date is still on track.
The timing of this news is not-so-curious considering a recent report surrounding the Panthers’ wariness of Garoppolo’s injuries. Of course, while any suitor for the QB would want their acquisition to be healthy in time for the regular season, there’s a good chance that the Panthers are also queasy about Garoppolo’s long list of additional injuries. The 30-year-old also underwent thumb surgery this offseason, and he’s missed time in his career thanks to a torn ACL and a high ankle sprain.
2021 was actually one of Garoppolo’s “healthier” seasons, although he still battled through ailments while starting 15 games. The former Patriots draft pick finished the campaign having completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 3,810 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while going 9-6 as a starter. He also started each of San Francisco’s three playoff games, although his completion percentage dropped to 58.1 percent and he tossed two touchdowns vs. three interceptions while battling those aforementioned injuries.
Garoppolo is attached to a $24.2MM base salary, and considering the presence of Trey Lance and the 49ers apparent desire to turn to the former third-overall pick, the Panthers have no reason (nor, obviously, no desire) to take on that amount of money in a potential trade. Matt Barrows of The Athletic recently opined that the 49ers should consider eating part of the QB’s salary as they look to move him off the roster. If the Panthers are indeed choosing between Garoppolo and Baker Mayfield, that salary savings could go a long way in determining which QB is traded.
How did trey Lance’s backup get into those subway commercials with all Future hall of famers. Brady, gronk, Steph curry, barkley then him?
Gee, how did the notoriously handsome guy who went to a super bowl end up on TV next to even more accomplished people? The question is how much would Mike Glennon have to accomplish to get a big TV endorsement?
Lol, Mike Glennon has to be one of the ugliest players in the nfl
Pat mahomes would look like a goblin if success weren’t so sexy
Teams will wait for G to be released. NO TEAM is taking on that salary for an oft injured QB.
What about a 3 way trade?
Mayfield to Carolina
Darnold to SF
Garropolo to Cleveland
No because why would they want a 27 mill back up and they sign a Qb incase waston can’t play
There has been talk of Jimmy G in Cleveland if Watson ends up with a full year after the appeal. They have cap room. Plenty of it
Unless SF gets an offer they can’t refuse they will likely hedge their bet and keep Garoppolo around for another season, as Trey Lance is no sure thing at this point and Nate Sudfeld isn’t much of a fallback plan.
Given the latest talk—Watson to be suspended for at least a year—I’d say Jimmy G going to the Browns is a foregone conclusion
The appeal may bring down the suspension. If it’s ends up at least 12 games, I say ok to the trade. 8 games and I roll with Brissett and roll over the cap money until next year
I would have loved the Steelers getting Jimmy G instead of Mitch. To me, it was a no brainer. In a similar way, if the year long suspension sticks, his coming to Cleveland makes complete sense
Look, given the scope of this case and the revelations still coming, is it out of the realm of possibility that Watson never plays a down for the Browns?
He settled the lawsuits. All but 4.
He’s still a guilty POS!
Maybe of being a pervert but not assault and definitely not rape. He would have been charged if that were the case. If you have evidence, I suggest you go to the authorities with it
Correct, all that has been proven is that Watson loves him some massages, and frequently asks for a happy ending…
Which, it sounds like, alot of them complied and were willing participants..
Watson sounds like he’s just got a sex addiction, and tends to think either through money or using his fake and status that he can get what he wants..
However, there hasn’t been one shred of proof that any of these women were forced in any kind of way ..
Soo, like him or not, it is what it is..
That’s what I’ve been saying all along. I expect and agree that a suspension is in order but there’s a lot of haters on here. The authorities investigated this and interviewed every woman I imagine and presented that to 2 Grand Juries and both didn’t think there was enough to prosecute or even bring him to trial. I would assume the Grand Juries have all the evidence
You need to look up the legal definition of assault. Placing his penis in her hand was assault along with others.
Then why wasn’t he arrested? Why no trial? He was accused of that. The only way you could know it to be true is if it was your hand. I’m guessing it wasn’t
