49ers QB in conversation with the NFC East team

The latest Jimmy Garoppolo trade rumors have the San Francisco 49ers quarterback and the Giants discussing the possibility of going to the Big Apple.

Jimmy Garoppolo’s fate in 2022 remains up in the air as San Francisco strike a trade for their now-backup QB.

It’s not about whether Garoppolo goes somewhere else. It’s definitely a matter of when and where.

Now a suitor has emerged from the NFC East.

Jimmy Garoppolo trade rumors: 49ers QB in talks with NFC East team about a deal

According to Marco Martinez of 49ers RedZone49ers told WebZone that Garoppolo was “in discussion” with the New York Giants.

The Giants selected Daniel Jones with the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but they recently turned down his bid for the fifth year and appear poised to move on.

Garoppolo isn’t a world champion, but he’s had playoff success and has certainly been more reliable than Jones.

That 49ers QB has a career passer rating of 98.9. Jones is 84.3. Garoppolo also has better completion percentage and yards per attempt. He’s just been more productive across the board, despite working with Jones for a number of years.

The Giants have signed Tyrod Taylor to a two-year deal, giving them another option besides Jones. However, Garoppolo would be a pretty clear upgrade for one of their current quarterback options.

If they’ve given up on Jones, it makes sense to switch to Jimmy G. Paying the price to negotiate a deal with San Francisco is the biggest hurdle. Garoppolo has a $24 million contract, but San Francisco has no intention of paying him that amount. He will surely have to take a pay cut soon to end up elsewhere.
