and the finally parted ways on Wednesday, with Cleveland trading the quarterback to the . That means almost every QB domino of the frenetic 2022 offseason has fallen. Almost. Despite more than a year of on-again, off-again trade speculation, and months of publicly anticipating a change of scenery, remains on the . With quietly absorbing all QB1 reps as the anointed future face of the franchise, what happens next in San Francisco?Here are the most logical destinations for Garoppolo, with training camp just around the corner:There were conflicting reports about New England's interest in a Garoppolo reunion before spending a first-round pick on in 2021. And the Patriots certainly aren't Justin Verlander Jersey paying Jimmy G a hefty sum to back up Jones this time around. But if Garoppolo is outright cut, it might behoove Bill Belichick, who's entering a big offensive transition without longtime coordinator Josh McDaniels, to call on his old prospect as a mentor for Jones. The upside for Garoppolo doesn't extend much beyond returning to the familiar confines of New England, where he backed up from 2014-17, but from the Pats' perspective, he probably offers more insurance than , who can be retained on Francisco Liriano Jersey the practice squad, and rookie .The 49ers will not trade Garoppolo to a rival, even if Lance is their guy. But if San Francisco eventually cuts the veteran out of "respect" (i.e., his behind-the-scenes demands), Seattle might be waiting. If you're the Seahawks, and you just witne sed Garoppolo guide two teams to the NFC title game in three years, why not? There'd be little financial downside if they signed Garoppolo on the cheap and later had to go to or , inevitably resetting at QB in 2023, which is likely anyway. Garoppolo's experience as the figurehead of a run-first offense could be attractive to Pete Carroll, and the QB would get the bonus of playing San Francisco two times, with a chance to prove the Niners should've kept him.Houston has stayed quiet at QB since unloading , committing to after the former third-rounder stood tall on a bad roster in 2021. But there isn't much veteran insurance on board, with and pegged as the backups. Even in a rebuild, depth is important, and Garoppolo has a history with team bra s, specifically Dallas Keuchel Jersey general manager Nick Caserio, who was the Patriots' director of player personnel when New England drafted Garoppolo in 2014. With extra picks in tow from the Watson deal, who's to say they couldn't offer a conditional late-rounder, a suming the QB takes a pay cut? The Bears say they're all in on 2021 first-rounder , but the new regime doesn't seem particularly interested in giving him a supporting cast with which to grow in 2022. Their veteran No. 2, meanwhile, is ex-Saints backup , who's struggled to stay healthy even off the bench, and is due just $1.6 million in 2022. Adding Garoppolo, either via trade after a pay cut or following a release from San Francisco, would give Chicago more proven insurance. Jimmy G, on the other Gerrit Cole Jersey hand, might at least enjoy the homecoming, returning the area in which he was born, raised and played college ball.Watson, their prized acquisition of the offseason, is for most, if not all, of the 2022 season for his alleged off-field transgre sions. And now Mayfield is officially out of the picture. That means Cleveland's playoff hopes could lie chiefly in the hands of new backup , who's best suited coming off the bench.With Bri sett due $4.65 million in 2022 (very much backup money, per the market), Mayfield's departure saving them $8M, and Watson counting just $10M against the 2022 cap after collecting a ma sive signing bonus, the Browns are more than capable of absorbing Garoppolo's Craig Biggio Jersey $25.5M price tag, a suming the QB doesn't agree to a pay cut to facilitate a deal. (Cleveland technically leads the NFL in , with $48.5M.) All parties would conceivably embrace it as a one-year marriage. The Browns are built to win now. The offense is centered around the run, much like it was for Garoppolo with the 49ers. Cleveland would get a more proven emergency starter under center (and coach Kevin Stefanski might still get an efficient upgrade over Mayfield). Jimmy G, meanwhile, would get a chance to guide a playoff run while rebuilding his own market for 2023. Click here Click here Click here |
