They're talking trade already.
Jimmy: "I just want to go to a place where they want to win."
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/02/01/jimmy-garoppolo-i-just-want-to-go-to-a-place-where-they-want-to-win/
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that no decisions have been made regarding what the team will do with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday, but Garoppolo sounded like he knows what the end result of that process is going to be when he met with the media later in the day.
Garoppolo said he’s not ruling anything out, but that he has spoken with General Manager John Lynch about trade destinations and that “things will happen pretty quickly” now that everyone’s attention is on the offseason. He said he thinks “both sides will be happy in the end” and also shared what he’s looking for in his next stop.
“I just want to go to a place where they want to win,” Garoppolo said.
Garoppolo called it “weird” to be facing the imminent end of his time with the 49ers because he’s made “great relationships” that will now be coming to a halt, but that knowing Trey Lance‘s arrival pointed to his departure made it easier to enjoy his last season with the team. He also said he’ll appreciate not being in the same situation next season while adding that he knows every NFL year presents its own challenges.

Jimmy says goodbye to 49er fans, media
https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/156064-jimmy-garoppolo-goodbye-49ers-media-while-deliberates-future/
"It's been a fun ride guys and I really appreciate you for that," Garoppolo said. "And yeah, I'll miss you guys. So thank you guys again. Faithful, thank you very much for everything. It's been crazy man, just all the comebacks at Levi's, comebacks on the road, ups and downs, it's been a hell of a ride guys. I love you guys. So, see ya."
Before saying those goodbyes, Garoppolo shed some light on where things stand with the 49ers and what he's looking for in a potential future destination. Not surprisingly, Garoppolo's main priority is landing somewhere that wants to win, which is something he's experienced throughout his career with the Patriots and 49ers.
"We've talked a little bit. I think more will happen in the days to come," Garoppolo said. "But yeah, these guys have been very up front about the whole thing. Just talking to John yesterday about finding the right destination and whatever the future holds, just doing it the right way. I've got a long career ahead of me. I'm excited about it. I'm excited about the opportunities to come. I just want to go to a place where they want to win. That's really what I'm in this game for. I'm here to play football. I'm here to win football games. As long as I've got that and good people around me, I think the rest will take care of itself."
In terms of a possible trade, Garoppolo suggested he and the 49ers will work to find a solution that will be satisfactory to both sides.
"As far as the whole trade situation, John's been very clear with it," Garoppolo said. "I think they're trying to do the best for me, I'm trying to do the best for them. We're working together on that -- really haven't made too much progress on it but I think things will start happening here pretty quickly."

I’m feeling a 2nd.
They are extremely fortunate that 2022 projects as a QB-weak draft. JimmyG has his warts, but he’s a better QB for a team that needs to bridge the gap, doesn’t have a high pick, and might be cash strapped (like TB) or a team like Miami who isn’t sure about their QB & may not want to Invest the draft capital to back up Tua for the short term until they know what direction they want to go.
But yeah, my bet is a 2nd. Maybe a 2nd & a player.

Also, maybe the Saints could use him…or the Commanders (first time I’ve typed that and it felt lame).

Miami trades their 1st round 2022 selection the 29th overall selection in the Draft and their 2023 Conditional 3rd/4th and Jimmy G becomes a Dolphin and signs on to star in the reboot of Miami Vice
-Stay tuned...

I hope not. He's not that much of an upgrade. I've seen what both QBs do under pressure and it ain't pretty. See if Tua improves with a better oline, while keeping both options open: trade for Watson, draft a QB in 2023 using our 2 first rounders.
Capella
Footballguy
What? He’s maybe worth a late second or a third. Anybody giving a first for this guy needs a new GM. Especially a team as far away as Miami.
I could see Pitt maybe giving up something to hang around the fringes of contention. He doesn’t fit Tampa’s offense at all, you couldn’t actually design a worse quarterback for what Arians wants. Maybe New Orleans depending on their coach.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Most accurate post of the last 4-5.
lol
I think a 2nd is reasonable, and ONLY because 2022 draft doesn't offer anything better.
Of the potential destinations listed in the articles @Faust generously posted, most have OL issues, so it's unlikely Jimmy would be great in any of those places.
I still think Tampa Bay makes the most sense. Especially given their low draft pick & lack of cap space.
Capella
Footballguy
Man, Tampa makes the least sense of any team in the league lol. They would need an entirely different offensive playbook and philosophy. It’s baffling you’re saying this. Arians has run a version of the same offense for 15 years. Jimmy can’t do it.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I think Pittsburgh also makes sense. Where they will be drafting they shouldn’t waste a first round pick from this draft class. Instead, use Jimmy G as a stop gap QB until they are in a better position to draft their future QB. Also, they would be stupid to give up multiple first round picks to move up in this draft to select a QB.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
The on-field play is certainly an issue, but I'm not saying Jimmy is their QB of the future.
But they have a good OL, and they need a QB.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
I agree with this as well.
As @Capella accurately states about TB, it's hard to imagine JimmyG's noodle arm taking those deep shots to Dionte Johnson & others in the Steelers WR corps.
But like you said - it's all about bridging the gap to the next QB. For that, WAS, DEN, TB, PIT all seem to make sense.
And with McDaniel in MIA, don't be shocked if they send SF a 2nd for him.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Hot Sauce Guy

I do too, and I never said it would be. But they need a backup QB too, and ya never know how MIA feels about Tua. Considering the Watson trade talk, I'm assuming "not great, Bob."
Capella
Footballguy
I don’t think Jimmy is a bad quarterback and would probably be an upgrade for a few teams. But Tampa’s offense is predominantly vertical and he can’t hit those throws enough to justify it. If Arians/Leftwich want to change things up to go to more shorter routes than maybe but that doesn’t really make sense, especially with players like Evans still in their prime. Jimmy and Godwin would likely be a nice combo though.The on-field play is certainly an issue, but I'm not saying Jimmy is their QB of the future.
But they have a good OL, and they need a QB.

Jimmy also thrives with YAC dudes, and I'm no sure how many of those types TB realistically has.

I didn't say Miami Dolphins-GM MoP was making this deal, I' just anticipating it being discussed on the media talk show circuits over the coming weeks, months, whenever SF decides to offload Jimmy G, yeah I expect Miami to at least be in the discussion and the 29th pick overall is almost a 2nd round selection, it's not that high of a pick for a potential starting QB if Miami were to choose to go in that direction.
Anyone saying Jimmy G is not an upgrade over Tua, I'm not going to haggle because I don't have to. Super Bowl 2 seasons ago with a 4th Q-10 point lead and an NFCC this year with another 10-pt lead in the 4th, Tua hasn't even made the Playoffs yet.

I could be way off but so far it doesn't seem like either of the Assistants are getting snapped up as Head Coaches and perhaps Lefty even turned down Jax, I haven't followed close enough, been too busy trying to get Ross ousted from Miami if you hadn't noticed.
-I think the Bucs are about as good as it is going to get for a veteran QB that wants a chance to be on a talented roster. Bucs need some QB pass rush for sure, but they have a very young and talented secondary, some of these guys are going to be due for a 2nd contract, who do you extend? Most of them are solid starters and if they leave it starts creating holes.
-I spoke to you about LT before and you feel Smith is good enough, with Brady gone I might look to get younger or cheaper there for the moment. Although I am not opposed to seeing what Trask might have, but if Arians is going to continue then a young QB will not work. They need someone who knows or can run his offense.
-I'm surprised Arians didn't retire and the Bucs assistants go elsewhere but at the moment they are all in place, yes/no? And if many of the starters minus say Brady, Gronk, Fournette, they can go get a RB, maybe a TE but QB is going to be difficult. Do you have a veteran or someone you feel will try and fight there way into Tampa?

I couldn’t disagree more with all of the opinions that believe multiple teams will line up to trade away picks of substantial value for JimmyG. Let’s cherry pick & compare Jimmy’s career line to that of another FA.
Jimmy
Other FA
If I wanted a bridge QB, the only advantage Jimmy gives you would be age. AND you want me to give up substantial picks for him while the FA is free? AND Jimmy’s salary is substantial, while the FA’s is insignificant?
Also, while recent posts have involved the Steelers, that same team had stated that a player’s availability (J Connor in that instance) should be considered.
Jimmy is overrated #’s-wise, relatively expensive $-wise, relatively expensive trade compensation-wise & is often unavailable.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jimmy remain a 9er in 2022.

Doesn’t seem to be any FAs out there that can at least manage an offense with the right pieces in place. And with the rookie crop not looking very good, the timing may work out well for Jimmy and the Niners.

Our apologies, what were we thinking?
Oh that's right, And Dalton has won how many Playoff games? Been to how many Conference Championship Games and lived to fight on past that day? How many Super Bowls has Dalton been a part of?
What is the record of these 2 QBs since about 2016 when Jimmy G finally started, he has 2 Super bowl rings although they were put on those fingers by Brady and Belichick but the fact is he was on the sidelines every step of the way plus leading another team to a Super Bowl under his own leadership on another team.
You're blind if you think there is no market for Jimmy G in the current climate and also the fact there is very little coming thru the NFL Draft that has teams talking "Franchise QB"
-I get it, the man has succeeded with a lot of talent around him, he's not the savior, nobody thinks he is but he's better and more experienced than so many others despite his ceiling, that's the reality of the NFL and once in a while when you have enough surrounding cast and talent you can look like a decent QB and go far.
Your POV is a refreshing change from just piling on with everyone else is posting but I'm not in agreement although your last statement about Jimmy G being a Niner in 2022, for all the reasons I have stated and also lends credence to those of us who think he has a pretty strong market, that's exactly why SF will try and keep him. No guarantee that Trey Lance takes them to the next level in 2022, look at Jordan Love in Green Bay has them 2nd guessing if they have the right young guy(they likely don't).
Over the half the season ticket holders in Miami would welcome Jimmy G, hate to break the news to you and since Miami is still armed with picks they likely will blow anyways, to most of them they think a trade for Jimmy is a ticket into the Playoffs.
These are not the thoughts necessarily of MoP but I guess I believe Jimmy G presently could take Miami with an upgrade at RB and OL to the Playoffs assuming they continue to thrive on Defense, something a lot of teams overlook but McDaniels coming from San Fran which has a pretty strong Defense, I doubt he is going to only look at QB and the offense. They say he's Ivy League, we'll see how bright he really is.

31-14 Jimmy G regular season since being traded to SF in 2017 although it doesn't seem like he logged a full season until about 2019, guy gets hurt a lot.
27-43 Andy Dalton regular season since 2016, he was mentioned earlier in comparison to Jimmy G, seems like no comparison but I understand its more than just wins and losses.
I know that because Stephen Ross fired Brian Flores "without merit" his words.

I started watching the old Magnum PI episodes, Higgins steals the show.
-Reality is we got the SF Gopher, I bet he still has the lunch receipts from all his Starbucks runs in DC with McVay, Shanahan, LaFleur, what could he possibly have done other than bring coffee and donuts?
-I feel like he either sold the Phins he can fix Tua quickly, or that he can pick up the phone and get Jimmy G for not a whole lot of draft capital or maybe a pick and a player in return, who knows?

how about you post the san fran record when Jimmy G was out, they were awful without him. people kept saying any qb could do what he was doing but the records say otherwise
Tua is 13-8 as a starter with worst oline 2 seasons in a row. He has injury concerns like Jimmy G. No thanks to Jimmy, even for our late 3rd round comp pick. We need to spend on FA oline and LB. Save the draft picks in 2022 for another edge, RB, WR.

Wasn't it clear in my post?
I was hoping we didn't have to go a lot deeper than a trip to the SB with a 10-pt 4th Q lead and also a 2nd Conference Title Game only to come up a little short just like the Super Bowl with a 10-pt 4th Q lead. He's 1 good drive in both games from a SB ring (He technically has 2 already), there will be a lot of interest IMHO by many teams that don't have it figured out yet.
Brady retired, Rodgers falters, NFC East is not dominant at all, New Orleans is in disarray, Wilson wants to spread his wings, Lions and Bears and Vikes, oh my...the NFC is wide open so why on earth would the Niners trade Jimmy G until Trey Lance absolutely destroys him in practice and makes it impossible to keep him on the bench?

As so many said to me "Get used to McDaniel" and now I say "Get used to Jimmy G" and lots of media and insiders discussing it and at some point Schefter will get on his little TwitterBox and make the formal announcement that San Fran has fleeced the Miami Dolphins out of multiple picks and whatnot, just you stay tuned.
Just a little prediction and I'll have many Phins predictions for 2022. Early tea leaves look terrible.
@Gatorman assures me not to get jumpy, see what they do at OL, I concur.

that part doesn’t make sense, niners are dumb to move on if they do. losing the OC is the best thing that can happen to the niners, the guy has a great first 10 scripted plays and then he falls apart
Agree with this. It'd be completely stupid to give up on Tua for Jimmy G. He doesn't get to take Deebo, Kittle, Williams etc. with him.
Only way I see Miami going with a different QB is if it is an elite guy, like Watson.
Teddy Bridgewater can. He was every bit as good as Jimmy G ever was the one time he was in anywhere near as good of a situation, which was the 2019 Saints.
zamboni
Footballguy
We’ll have to agree to disagree there. While both Teddy and Jimmy aren’t great QBs, I think Jimmy could - and has - helped a team make a deep playoff run. Teddy had very good offensive options most recently in Denver and couldn’t make it work.
Did he have very good offensive weapons though? I mean, he had some weapons sure, but certainly nobody on Deebo or Kittle's level, and obviously nobody on Shanahan's level as a playcaller. Despite that he went 7-7(arguably 7-6 as he got hurt early in the 3rd against the Bengals in a game they were down 6 points at the time) and it was only after he got hurt that Denver's season fell apart.
Truth be told though, there are probably 6 QB's in this draft I'd prefer to either of them. This draft isn't as bad as people think at QB, it doesn't have those high-end potentially elite prospects, but it has several good ones.
zamboni
Footballguy
I think that Javonte Williams, Gordon, Jeudy, Sutton, Patrick, and Fant are pretty viable offensive options. You're absolutely right though that Denver didn't have the play calling/scheming that the Niners have.
As mentioned, I don't think either of them are world beaters by any stretch, but if I needed a QB to just manage a team with strong offensive weapons and creative playcalling, I'd take the calming presence of Jimmy G over Teddy any day of the week. Jimmy has flamed out down the stretch of games, but has also led a fair amount of game winning drives when needed.
