Tony Romo is once again putting his prognosticator cap on.

Garoppolo was expected to be moved at some point in the offseason to make way for second-year QB Trey Lance. However, Jimmy G underwent shoulder surgery in early March, which has teams wary of his current health status and availability

NFL on CBS analyst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo weighs in on Jimmy G.

“The biggest thing is, he’s got to get healthy [with his shoulder],” Romo said on the latest episode of The Zach Gelb Show. “But when he gets healthy, you’ll see teams coming in.”

Romo also says that by waiting for Garoppolo to be fully healthy, the 49ers can get the proper value that they are looking for in any sort of deal. Romo doesn’t foresee Garoppolo going to a specific team, he does think the Seattle Seahawks could make a move for the QB, even if it is rare to trade within the division.

“If they view him as a really talented guy but think Trey’s a bit more talented, they probably won’t do that and trade him within the division. But if they view him not at that level, then that would be different,” Romo concluded.

Only time will tell where Garoppolo will end up once the season finally starts.

But he most likely won’t be on the Niners.
