Trading Jimmy Garoppolo is top priority for the 49ers.However, receiving adequate draft capital like a second- or third-round pick for him is highly unlikely. The fact that Garoppolo is to undergo shoulder surgery on his throwing arm and wont be able to throw for his new team until training camp is definitely a detracting factor. Teams would be nuts to give up such a weighted draft pick for Garoppolo unle s the 49ers throw in another a set as a sweetener for the deal. Considering all of this, the 49ers could be forced to cut Garoppolo as I doubt theyll settle Mark Barron Jersey or be happy with a fifth-round pick (if theyre lucky) or le s.Not to mention the 49ers have to get Garoppolo off the book right as free agency nears so they can have salary cap space to sign players. But should they cut Garoppolo, it would go against their grand Alec Spence Jersey plan that they set in motion when they drafted Trey Lance. That is to run it back with Garoppolo while Lance sits, then trade Garoppolo in the offseason for substantial draft capital. So would it be a failure for the 49ers if they cut Garoppolo instead of trading him? No doubt about it.Scroll to ContinueIt is a yes because the 49ers would not have accomplished one of their goals toward their long-term plan that they set in motion almost a year ago. They thought that by rolling with Garoppolo in 2021 that it would give them the best chance to win AND aid in driving up trade value for Garoppolo.Well clearly the second-part of that plan has failed miserably. Even with his surgery Malik Zaire Jersey , had Garoppolo truly raised his value, then a team wouldve been working a deal or traded for him already.But teams are not blind. They are able to see how and why the 49ers got as far as they did in the playoffs and it is not because of Garoppolo. Had he factored in largely, he wouldve been gone by now.The reality is Garoppolo never did anything to improve his stock.In fact, you could argue he worsened it, especially right now that he wont be able to physically participate with his new team until training camp. And should the 49ers actually cut Garoppolo, they will be fools to not have taken whatever was available for him.Unle s there somehow isnt a market at all for him, the 49ers should just take what they can get and chalk it up. But the thing is, I dont think theyre thinking like that. I have explained why Andrew Platek Jersey the 49ers po sibly wont settle for a late-round pick for Garoppolo in here and multiple other articles before. On the bright side, cutting Garoppolo isnt a TOTAL failure. Since it is clear Garoppolo wont garner a Day 1 or 2 draft pick, then the top priority for the 49ers is moving Dalvin Cook Jersey his contract off the books by the time free agency arrives. Once they do that, then they will be able to court higher tier free agents. That is ultimately the grand prize of the 49ers regardle s of how Garoppolo is moved off the team.Just get his contract off the books by any means if you're the 49ers.
