Jimmy Garoppolo Now Being Linked to One NFC Team

The QB carousel continues to spin, but there’s only so many viable options left.

The Cleveland Browns are most likely going to need someone to fill in when Deshaun Watson gets suspended. It’s not a matter of if but when. Watson could be facing the possibility of a yearlong suspension, and Baker Mayfield has no intention of ever playing another down for the Cleveland Browns. The only other quarterback on the roster that could possibly fill in is Jacoby Brissett.

Now they may have another option, and that could be trading for Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo.

Via NY Post:

“ESPN’s Jake Trotter suggested the team could “look for another quarterback trade” — and the 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo could be a target.

Both Cleveland and San Francisco made moves to replace their incumbent quarterback in the past 16 months. The Browns are on the outs with Baker Mayfield after a rough, injury-plagued season in 2021, having traded for Watson to replace him in the long run. The 49ers traded three first-round picks to move up and select Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft.”

ESPN’s Jake Trotter  says Cleveland is considering the move for the veteran starter.

This would make perfect sense, but the Browns aren’t known for making wise decisions.  I mean the fact they guaranteed Watson all  that money is proof they have no idea what they’re doing.

Baker Mayfield needs a new home, and  so does Jimmy G,  but both we’ll continue to wait for the perfect opportunity to  present itself.
