The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly received a trade offer for veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
According to NFL insider John Middlekauff, the Niners have been offered a second-round pick in exchange for the quarterback who is widely expected to be traded at some point this offseason.
This may seem like a steep price for the 30-year-old QB, but Jimmy G’s services could reportedly be worth more than many people think.
“I would say if they got a three and a two, how is that humanly possible?” Middlekauff said on his podcast with Guy Haberman. “Listen, I got a text yesterday that someone told them—and they’re like, ‘I even think it’s crazy’—that there’s a two on the table.
“Khalil Mack just got traded for a two, and I get that quarterbacks are much more important than pass rushers, and there’s a supply-and-demand issue. There’s also a draft issue. … Props to the Niners if they’re able to pull that s–t off.”

With former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance waiting in the wings, the Niners are overwhelmingly expected to move on from Garoppolo sometime in the next few months. If they’re able to get some value similar to this second-round pick offer, it’s hard to imagine the San Francisco organization turning down a deal.
“If you get a second-round pick—so you acquire him for a second, you got a second, and you got everything in the middle—that would be one of the most incredible transactions I’ve ever seen because part of it is I don’t think he’s worthy of that,” Middlekauff added.
After logging 3,810 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions en route to a 9-6 regular-season record, Garoppolo helped the Niners make an NFC Championship appearance in the postseason.
The team behind this second-round pick offer was not revealed. Garoppolo, who recently underwent a shoulder surgery, is expected to be fully cleared before the start of 2022 training camp.
