While the talk of the NFL this Wednesday is Deebo Samuel, and rightfully so, let’s not forget that the San Francisco 49ers also have to figure out what to do with Jimmy Garoppolo.
The expectation around the league was that San Francisco would trade Garoppolo this offseason. Then, the veteran signal-caller underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder. That decision may have affected his trade value.
So, could the 49ers find a way to trade both Garoppolo and Samuel in the coming weeks? NFL writer Jarrett Bailey certainly thinks so.
On Wednesday, Bailey suggested the Carolina Panthers try to get Garoppolo and Samuel in a blockbuster trade.
If I’m the Panthers, I’m trying to get Jimmy Garoppolo and Deebo Samuel in a package deal.

According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the Panthers have “done their homework” on Garoppolo.
If the Panthers are interested in acquiring Garoppolo and Samuel, they’d most likely have to trade a lot of draft capital. After all, they’d be getting a serviceable quarterback and All-Pro wide receiver.
For now though, there’s no indication that Carolina will pursue this package deal.
