The San Francisco 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo saga is finally coming to an end. The quarterback and the 49ers agreed to a deal that makes him the highest-paid backup quarterback in the league.

| Total Guarantees | $6,500,000 |

The deal is worth $6.5 million and is fully guaranteed, and he is expected to back-up second-year quarterback Trey Lance.
Garoppolo signed a five-year, $137.5 million deal in 2018 and was thought to be the team’s long-term solution at the position.
Trade
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers put their expected farewells on hold, potentially through the completion of the upcoming season.
Instead of being traded by the 49ers as anticipated, Garoppolo agreed to a reworked contract that clears the way for him to remain with the team as the backup to new starter Trey Lance, multiple people familiar with the situation confirmed Monday.
Adam Schefter included that Garoppolo’s deal involves no-trade and no-tag clauses, which many have interpreted as the 30-year-old remaining with the 49ers for the entirety of the 2022 season before going elsewhere in 2023.
While that could be true, there very well may be a different scenario that could unfold as a result of the restructuring.
Transfer
The 49ers gave Jimmy Garoppolo’s agents permission to seek a trade, sources told The Athletic on Wednesday.
The quarterback was cleared to resume practicing as he continues recovering from shoulder surgery. The organization is expected to treat him with caution throughout the summer.
Garoppolo, 30, has been with San Francisco since 2017 and has started 45 games in that span. Trade rumors have swirled around him since the 49ers drafted Trey Lance with the third pick last season.
“I expect at some time, most likely, he’ll be traded, but who knows,” coach Kyle Shanahan said in May. “That’s not a guarantee. It went on hold when it (surgery) happened. When he’s healthy we’ll see what happens.”
