Jimmy Garoppolo was not traded before free agency and now the Niners are looking down the pipe at a lose-lose scenario.
So here’s what the 49ers can do:
The monetary savings are meaningless for the team — though I’m sure Jed York wouldn’t mind. The time to cut Garoppolo was weeks ago, before the start of free agency, after which the Niners could use the savings to improve the team. But seeing as the major portion of free agency is over and the Niners are cap compliant, it doesn’t make much sense to free up a ton of money.
Yes, Lance would be operating without threat, but the Niners would be a markedly worse team and would only save a few bucks in the process.Of course, the alternative isn’t much better. The Niners could hold onto Garroppolo until he’s healthy and then try to trade him.
