While the invested heavily in quarterback just a few years ago, multiple league and team sources indicated that the organization is very much keeping its options open regarding the future of that position.Garoppolo's play has been up and down, and there were John Cominsky Jersey some recent differences of opinion about the extent of his recent high ankle sprain. The guarantees on Garoppolo's then-record setting contract will have been paid out by 2021, leaving the franchise with maximum flexibility should it choose to go in another direction and no John Abraham Jersey longer pay the veteran $26 million a year."It's wait and see," said one source with knowledge of the situation. "He's still under evaluation. It could go in a few different directions, and is it po sible he's not the guy next year? That's fair. I don't think that's lost on anybody."Garoppolo has had a star-cro sed tenure with the team, with the high point being the postseason a year ago, which included a appearance. However, Garoppolo has also mi sed extensive time with injuries, and consistency has been a struggle at times. The 49ers have dealt with a rash of injuries on both sides of the ball -- including the quarterback's significant ankle sprain -- which has impacted the team's overall production, and Garoppolo is currently 23rd in the in completion percentage (63%), Isaiah Oliver Jersey with seven touchdowns and two interceptions in four games. "Kyle thinks he can turn almost anyone into a star," one league source who has worked with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan extensively and is familiar with his thinking said. "He's Deion Jones Jersey had a lot of succe s with a lot of different guys and the salary structure on that team has changed dramatically the last few years. He's not a guy who thinks he needs a $30 million a year QB to win. And they aren't exactly gushing about the guy that they have now."It has not gone unnoticed around the league that several quarterbacks who Shanahan has a history with could potentially become available in 2021, with the already firing their coach and GM in-season and nearing the end of his career, and the already selling off players after a Colby Gossett Jersey 1-5 start (and with off to a slow start and under fire locally). There is expected to be significant quarterback movement again this offseason, and with the salary cap potentially staying flat at best (or dropping), several teams will undoubtedly be sizing up cheaper alternatives, especially if supply and demand is once again in the team's favor (as it was with and signing just one-year, $1 million deals in 2020).Garoppolo's homecoming game Sunday at New England comes at an interesting time, with the ' offense struggling and that team's 2021 quarterbacking situation quite nebulous as well. The Patriots selected him in the second round in 2014 and he Jalen Mayfield Jersey was dealt to the 49ers before the 2017 trade deadline. Garoppolo has two years and $51.1 million remaining on his contract beyond this season.
