Jimmy Garoppolo passes physical test, report says

NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport has reported that San Francisco 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo passed his physical tests on Tuesday. With that condition, the 30-year-old quarterback has been listed out from the 49ers’ PUP list. Also, it exempted the team from paying Garoppolo $7.5 million in injury guarantee. Check out the best bookmakers for betting on the NFL.

It was reported that Garoppolo not passing his physical would urge the team to trade him shortly because the 49ers will save more money to pay Garoppolo’s base salary, which is currently at $24.2 million.

“I think it was made a lot harder with the surgery. I think that’s why everyone knows the situation we’re in. And we understand that, so we’re not trying to kid ourselves or play any game. I think the whole league understands that,” San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Garoppolo’s future

Shanahan said that he would allow Garoppolo to depart from the 49ers’ roster in the best condition for both sides. Shanahan said Garoppolo would understand the team’s decision to trade him out.

“But you also can’t just give one of the better quarterbacks in the league just to make him available for no reason to the whole world. And the good thing is you can have those conversations with Jimmy and he understands that too, so we’re going to try to do the best for both sides,” Shanahan said.

Garoppolo underwent surgery on his right shoulder on March 8 and only recently started throwing again. With no injury guarantee on his contract, there are some potential trade scenarios, but the 49ers would allow Garoppolo to choose his destination. Shanahan said that the team would not release Garoppolo without equal return.

“We’re saying ‘Go ahead you don’t have to be here.” Shanahan said. “If he wants to be he can, but I think Jimmy, like I said yesterday Jimmy, John, and I talked for a while. We understand every part of this situation and I think both sides know that each side is doing as good as we can.”

Shanahan said despite Garoppolo being cleared to practice, he separated the two-time NFL champion from the team’s practice. He said Garoppolo was on his off-season throwing program.

“We don’t plan on practicing him with the team. We’ll take it day-by-day and constantly talk with him and hopefully can figure out the best for both,” Shanahan said.

Garoppolo’s NFL career

Garoppolo started his professional career when he played college football at Eastern Illinois and won the Walter Payton Award. His NFL career started when Garoppolo was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots with the 62nd overall pick. With the Patriots, he spent his four NFL seasons as Tom Brady’s backup.

Jimmy G was traded to the 49ers at the end of the 2017 season and helped to improve the 1–10 record by winning the team’s five remaining games a starting quarterback. In 2019, he led the 49ers to become an NFC top seed since 1997 and made the way to Super Bowl LIV.

Garoppolo recorded a 31-14 regular season win-loss record as a 49ers quarterback. He has played a full season only once in his career for the franchise. In his eight NFL seasons, he has thrown for 11,852 yards, 71 TDs, and 38 INTs.
