With Matt Ryan was sold to the Colts, a list of potential seats for Jimmy Garoppolo became smaller. The move is likely to affect his trading value, though the 49ers reportedly already have a relatively strong market for Garoppolo.

According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, general manager of the 49ers John Lynch “Notifies interested teams that he has an offer of two second-round picks” for the outgoing quarterback. That’s double the price San Francisco paid to acquire it from the Patriots in 2017. Carson Wentz transactions.
The 49ers were thought to be moving on from the 30-year-old Garoppolo as soon as they drafted him. Trey Lance third overall last year. Not surprisingly, earlier this month they reportedly made trade visits to him. Any move will be complicated not only by the rest of the market, but also by Garoppolo’s recent operation and the status of his contract. Under his current deal, he has a cap of just under $27 million for one more season.
Florio lists the Seahawks as a potential place to trade. The Colts were long thought to be interested in the former Patriot, but acquiring Ryan puts them out of contention. With the signing of falcons and saints Marcus Mariota as well as Jamis Winston, respectively, it is also doubtful to interest them. Seattle added Drew Lock in Russell Wilson deal, but the NFC West team – one of a dwindling number of teams – the other could potentially be the Panthers – is facing questions about its starting QB.
If the 49ers do have a noteworthy offering, one of the last dominoes in the QB market this year could fall in the near future.
