“Will anyone bank upon Jimmy G?”: NFL Insider Mike Florio reckons Jimmy Garoppolo might be in a worse position than Baker Mayfield ahead of the 2022 season

Jimmy Garoppolo has surely made a name for himself at the highest level. After spending a few years with the New England Patriots, Jimmy was roped in by the 49ers in 2017, and till now, he is a part of the San Francisco-based franchise.

However, he had a rather disappointing season this time around and it felt like he’ll be traded to another franchise. However, a lot of teams were hesitant to go after Jimmy because of the untimely surgery that he had to undergo on his shoulder.

Dolphins QB Jimmy Garoppolo expected to be cleared from dreadful shoulder injury by mid-August

Earlier there were talks that the Panthers might be interested in roping Jimmy G into their unit, however, they ended up signing Baker Mayfield. Then there were reports about Cleveland Browns planning to go after Jimmy as they would be left high and dry in case Deshaun Watson ends up getting banned.

Amid all this, NFL Insider Dan Sileo, on the National Football Show, made some really big claims a little while ago regarding where Jimmy G might end up in the coming season. He reckoned that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might show interest in adding him to their roster as a backup for Tom Brady.

Now, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport’s latest report, Jimmy G is expected to be fully cleared after the disastrous shoulder injury he sustained by mid-august. This will allow around a month to the 49ers to figure out a trade for the QB. There are speculations that the 49ers might offer him a significantly reduced deal, however, there is little doubt about the fact that the franchise is going to show faith in Trey Lance.

As per NFL Insider Mike Florio, in case the 49ers contemplate releasing Garoppolo after he is cleared from the injury, he will be in a really tough spot, tougher than Baker Mayfield who has found solace in Jacksonville. It will be interesting to see which franchise ends up showing interest in Jimmy.
