49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo's progress impresses coach Sun Feb 3, 12:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is working to recover from the ACL tear that cut his 2018 season short, and his progress has impressed head coach Kyle Shanahan. 'He looks good, I'm not allowed to be working with him right now, but I was in the office a couple of days ago, I was stalking him while watching him out my window,' Shanahan said Friday, Feb. 1, during an interview with San Francisco radio station KNBR. 'He actually surprised me, he was running around, throwing, doing some stuff out of the pocket. I even had to call our trainer and ask 'should he be moving that much?' and he said he should be. It's cool to see.'

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo may take part in workouts Wed Jan 23, 08:19 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) hopefully will be able to participate in organized team activities this offseason, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo injured his ACL in Week 3 of the 2018 season. Lynch said Garoppolo has not had any setbacks during his rehab. Even if Garoppolo gets some work in during OTAs we'd imagine he'd be at least a little bit limited. There's no need to give him too much too soon as Garoppolo continues to rehab. It looks like he's going to be full strength by the time training camp rolls around in the summer. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo throwing passes Tue Jan 22, 12:38 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) was throwing passes to RB Jerick McKinnon (knee) recently, 49ers general manager John Lynch said Tuesday, Jan. 22, in an interview.
| Footballguys view: That's good news for Garoppolo and the 49ers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan believes Garoppolo could be available for OTAs later in the spring. Garoppolo tore his ACL in Week 3 and has been on the road to recovery ever since then. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo may take part in workouts Wed Dec 19, 11:17 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) may be able to participate in some offseason workouts in May and June, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. "I'm hoping he'll get into OTAs and do some non-contact stuff," Shanahan said. "It's always a little bit better when you're dealing with a quarterback as opposed to other positions because you can get them in 7-on-7 drills, which helps those guys get involved a lot faster."
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo injured his ACL early in the season (Week 3) and has been on the road to recovery since then. He should be limited in OTAs if he's able to participate with the plan to ramp things up in training camp. At this time, there's no concern about him missing the start of the 2019 regular season. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) is expected to have a relatively obstacle-free rehab process following surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to a source.

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo hopeful for OTAs Fri Oct 5, 09:20 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo's (knee) surgery went 'as good as it could've,' according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, and Shanahan is hopeful that Garoppolo can participate in OTAs in some capacity.
| Footballguys view: That's cool and all but we'd recommend the team easing him back into action. Expect the 49ers to treat Garoppolo like the Eagles treated Carson Wentz this offseason -- slow and steady is the way to go. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Sept. 26.
| Footballguys view: Just a procedural move that was expected as Garoppolo is done for the year. The 49ers now turn to C.J. Beathard as their starting quarterback. Nick Mullens was signed to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo suffers torn ACL Mon Sep 24, 03:06 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.
| Footballguys view: This was feared but also expected by the 49ers after the quarterback's injury on Sunday. There are reports that indicate he could have MCL damage as well but that is not confirmed. We'll see if Garoppolo is back for the start of the 2019 season. Right now, the 49ers will turn to C.J. Beathard as their starting quarterback. |

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) might have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday, Sept. 23. 'It doesn't look good,' one teammate said.

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo carted off Sun Sep 23, 04:36 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) was carted off the field during the Week 3 game after he suffered knee injury.
| Footballguys view: The team fears a torn ACL. CJ Beathard would take over, but other than running back reception numbers, this will be very very bad for the 49ers offense. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo has disastrous opener Sun Sep 9, 05:09 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed 15-of-33 passes for 261 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the Week 1 loss against the Minnesota Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo had a pick six, but was also let down by an Alfred Morris goal line fumble and Marquise Goodwin's quad injury. He and Dante Pettis had something good going, and the matchup will get a lot better against the Lions next week. This result was more about the Vikings defense quality than Garoppolo being exposed. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed 10 of his 12 passes for 136 yards, a touchdown and an interception against the Houston Texans in the preseason Saturday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo was sharp and appears to be ready for his Week 1 test against the Vikings. Marquise Goodwin continues to be his #1 receiver. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw touchdowns on all four of his pass attempts from inside the 9-yard in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, June 5.
| Footballguys view: It would be fantastic if he can carry that over to the regular season in 2018. Fantasy owners are excited by what he could do in his first full season as a starter. He's getting selected as a top-10 fantasy quarterback (QB8) right now in 12-team PPR leagues. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo holding throwing sessions Tue Apr 24, 02:13 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo started holding weekend throwing sessions with his teammates, in which wide receivers, running backs and tight ends are invited. He held the first one with the 49ers on Saturday, April 21, with WR Pierre Garcon among those who showed up. 'It kind of gets us away from the coaches and everything, allows me to talk to the receivers about specific things,' Garoppolo said. 'Talking through routes, concepts -- how they see it vs. how I see it -- it just gets us on the same page.'
| Footballguys view: The future looks bright for Garoppolo and the 49ers this year. With a full season as their starter, Garoppolo could get the team into the Wild Card conversation. |

49ers | More on Jimmy Garoppolo deal Fri Feb 16, 09:09 AM
Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo's deal will pay him $35 million in a signing bonus and roster bonus before the season. He can create $7.5 million in injury guarantees if he makes the AP All-NFL team in any year or he plays 50 percent of the snaps in the regular season, the 49ers make the NFC Championship game and he plays in 50 percent of the playoff snaps. Essentially, Garoppolo is signed for two years and $61 million and potentially three years and $86 million. The final two years could be a wash.

49ers | Big contract for Jimmy Garoppolo Thu Feb 8, 01:38 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million contract Thursday, Feb. 8, according to a source. It is the largest contract in NFL history on a per-year basis.
| Footballguys view: On the strength of just seven games, but in San Francisco's defense, he's undefeated. He's a solid quarterback, but this is a massive contract. |

49ers | SF nearing deal with Jimmy Garoppolo Sun Feb 4, 10:17 AM
The San Francisco 49ers appear to be close to finalizing a long-term contract extension with QB Jimmy Garoppolo, according to multiple sources informed of the situation.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo should become one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the game, but because of timing, not track record. Still, the marriage between him and Kyle Shanahan should be a happy and productive one. He might go higher than he should in drafts on the momentum and recognition he generated in December. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo will be given the franchise tag if a long-term contract is not reached by March 6, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, but Maiocco is confident the two sides will agree to a long-term deal.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo should become of the highest-paid players in the league after he closed the season with a five-game winning streak. Both sides will be happy to forge a long term deal with one of the highest guaranteed money numbers in league history. |

49ers | Week 17 game recap for 49ers Sun Dec 31, 07:25 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed 20-of-33 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams. RB Carlos Hyde rushed 15 times for 90 yards and two scores, while RB Matt Breida added 12 runs for 72 yards and a 32-yard catch. TE George Kittle led the way with 100 yards on four receptions, while WR Trent Taylor had two grabs for 29 yards. WR Marquise Goodwin (head) had two grabs, 28 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a injury. WR Aldrick Robinson also added a 12-yard score.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo should be a trendy pick next year after his strong finish. Hyde was as good as the 49ers offense allowed him to be in his contract year. Breida should have at least the same role next year, while fellow rookie Kittle should settle into a core role beside Goodwin and Pierre Garcon in a rising passing game. |

49ers | Limited playbook for Jimmy Garoppolo Thu Nov 30, 11:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't know the entire offense yet, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, but Shanahan said they will only use plays Garoppolo is '100 percent' comfortable with against the Chicago Bears in Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Part of the playbook with Garoppolo is still likely to produce better results than most of the playbook with CJ Beathard. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo will start this week Tue Nov 28, 06:39 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo will start his first game as a 49er in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears.
| Footballguys view: C.J. Beathard is banged up with two injuries (knee, hip) and the team is going to go with the guy they traded for earlier this year in Garoppolo. He came into the game in Week 12 for an injured Beathard, completed 100 percent of his passes (only 2-for-2) and threw for a touchdown. This will be his first start with his new team, and Garoppolo is an option for fantasy owners in start-2 QB leagues. |

49ers | San Fran to make QB decision Wednesday Tue Nov 28, 12:19 PM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is expected to name his starting quarterback for Week 13 no later than Wednesday, Nov. 29.
| Footballguys view: This decision is going to come down to the health of C.J. Beathard. Shanahan does not know if incumbent Beathard (knee, hip) will be able to practice Wednesday and indicated whomever he chooses between Beathard and Jimmy Garoppolo would need to take all the first-team practice snaps leading up to their game with the Chicago Bears. |

49ers | Jimmy Garoppolo could receive tag Sat Nov 25, 09:17 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo could receive the franchise tag next season, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. 'It would be great if it could work out that way (a long-term contract), but that's just not the situation any of us are in,' Shanahan said. 'That is the good thing about the franchise tag and that's what, to me, made it an easier decision to trade for him.'

49ers | C.J. Beathard remains starter Wed Nov 22, 04:00 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB C.J. Beathard will start Week 12 over QB Jimmy Garoppolo, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: It's a home game versus Seattle, but this is a Seahawks defense that has been set back by injuries. Beathard is a streaming option for fantasy owners, although there are no more bye weeks left and you just might have better options in 2-QB leagues. Garoppolo waits his turn, but we should see him at some point this season. |

49ers | San Francisco undecided about quarterback Mon Nov 13, 01:16 PM
San Francisco 49ers Jimmy Garoppolo will remain around the team facility during the club's Week 11 bye in order to learn as much about the offense as possible from head coach Kyle Shanahan, who suggested he does not have a plan yet when it comes to naming a starting quarterback for Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners want to see Garoppolo as the starter but coming off their first win of the season the 49ers may not want to make the switch. Garoppolo is still learning the offense -- and the very complex language of the Shanahan system. In start 2-QB leagues (or QB-flex leagues), fantasy owners can hang onto Garoppolo if they have the bench space. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo may not make his first start with the team until the 49ers return from their Week 11 bye, according to the Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows.
| Footballguys view: The Shanahan system is not easy or simple, so Garoppolo will get a crash course in what they do with the 49ers. While Garoppolo is learning, the team should continue to use rookie C.J. Beathard as their starter. |

Patriots | New England trades Jimmy Garoppolo Mon Oct 30, 08:31 PM
New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo was traded to the San Francisco 49ers Monday, Oct. 30, in exchange for a 2018 second-round draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have now traded two backup quarterbacks (Jacoby Brissett, Jimmy Garoppolo) over the last two months. At this time, they don't have a backup quarteback behind Tom Brady but they could make a run at recently released Brian Hoyer as he used to be with the team and knows the system. |

New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo was acquired by the San Francisco 49ers Monday, Oct. 30, in exchange for a 2018 second-round draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers need a potential franchise quarterback and they get one in Garoppolo. They're not waiting for Kirk Cousins to be a free agent next year, and Garoppolo will start for them ASAP. We may not see Garoppolo under center in Week 9 as it may take a couple of weeks for him to get up to speed in the complex Kyle Shanahan system. Garoppolo is an accurate quarterback who will bump up the fantasy value for guys like WR Pierre Garcon when he's out there. |

Patriots | Champs high on Jimmy Garoppolo Fri Jul 21, 11:20 AM
New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo has head coach Bill Belichick enamored by his ability, according to one scout. 'Bill thinks he's got the next great one,' the scout said. 'I watched his snaps. I think he can be that. (Garoppolo) has a great base, and his mechanics are close enough to (QB Tom Brady) that you appreciate his willingness to learn and the coaching he's gotten there.'
| Footballguys view: Well, the Patriots sure weren't in a rush to get rid of him, so we believe it. Garoppolo was impressive as far back as the 2014 Senior Bowl, with a strong arm and a sharp football mind. The question was whether he could learn to do all the little things and adjust his game. From what we saw last season before he was injured, the answer is yes. He's not likely to have fantasy value this year barring an injury to Brady, but he should be on your dynasty rosters without a doubt. |

Patriots | Jimmy Garoppolo limited Tue Jun 13, 12:43 PM
New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo (leg) was limited to the exercise bike Tuesday, June 13, due to a minor leg injury.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo is set to be the primary backup behind Tom Brady again this year. After 2017, Garoppolo is scheduled to be a free agent on the open market. It will be interesting to see if they can keep him around if Brady sticks around past this year, which is quite likely given his health and desire to play well into his 40s. |

Browns | Cleveland pursued Jimmy Garappolo again Fri Apr 28, 01:26 PM
The Cleveland Browns again were rebuffed by the New England Patriots in their attempt to land QB Jimmy Garoppolo during the 2017 NFL Draft on Thursday, April 27, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Time to take no for an answer, Browns. Although in fairness, a lot of media was convinced the Patriots were just playing hard to get, so a call isn't the silliest idea for the Browns. The Browns are clearly only somewhat sold on Brock Osweiler, it seems, and he may yet end up off that team. Meanwhile Garoppolo clearly will remain a Patriot. |

They'll lose Garoppolo in free agency next year as he looks for a starting job...but they Patriots will get a compensatory pick for him they can use in 2019 if (when?) they lose the young passer. |

New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo figures to be the target of several last-ditch trade attempts from the Cleveland Browns leading up to the start of the 2017 NFL Draft, but the Boston Herald's Karen Guregian considers a potential deal a 'long shot' that would require an 'overwhelming offer'.
| Footballguys view: The Browns may want Garoppolo but they may not be willing to pay the price it would take to add him. The draft will be the final deadline for any deal to get done. The Patriots will lose Garoppolo next year in free agency as he'll move on to get a starting job. |

New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo remains of interest to the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland could continue to pursue a trade this weekend at the NFL owners meetings. As reported previously, Garoppolo is not expected to be traded. Neither side has acknowledged that a possible deal is or is not in the works.
| Footballguys view: There's a breaking point for everyone. The Patriots don't want to give up Garoppolo, but a couple of first-round picks could change their mind. The Browns have targeted Garoppolo as a potential franchise quarterback, and they will do what they can to add him via trade if at all possible. |

Patriots | Belief Patriots will keep Jimmy Garoppolo Thu Mar 16, 06:29 PM
New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo may end up sticking with the team for 2017 and beyond, as there is a 'persistent belief within league circles' that they truly want to keep him. The thinking is that QB Tom Brady's 'magic number' is three more years or perhaps fewer if he wins one more Super Bowl, and that head coach Bill Belichick has decided after one year of working with him that he doesn't believe QB Jacoby Brissett will become a 'true franchise quarterback.'
| Footballguys view: Assuming all that is true, we aren't shocked Brissett (a third round pick) isn't the long term answer, nor that the team likes Garoppolo enough to keep him. This means they have to pay him soon, though, and it will be interesting to see what that looks like with the cap-conscious and cap-savvy Patriots. |

The Cleveland Browns will continue their efforts to trade for New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Browns have acquired a lot of picks and it seems for more than just getting young players. Garoppolo was someone we thought could be moved this offseason if someone had enough picks. If the Browns acquire him though, can he succeed with the wide receivers the team has? On the plus side, they did add some talent to the offensive line which might give a new quarterback time to throw. |

Patriots | No legitimate offers for Jimmy Garoppolo Sun Mar 5, 08:43 PM
New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't been traded because no team has come close to meeting the asking price, according to a source.
