The San Francisco 49ers could not announce a beginning quarterback till simply earlier than the 2022 season, but it surely feels like they’ve made their path clear behind closed doorways.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler stated on “SportsCenter” Sunday that Lance has gotten the impression from the 49ers that he’s going to begin subsequent season. There was speak of the Niners maintaining Jimmy Garoppolo for one more 12 months, however apparently that won’t influence Lance’s position.
“In the meantime, Trey Lance has been figuring out within the Bay Space. I’m instructed that he’s acquired indications, no less than casual indications from the group, that he’ll be the man subsequent 12 months,” Fowler stated. “He’s set to be that. Now, whether or not that signifies that they’d nonetheless maintain Garoppolo and that would change the dynamic, probably. However proper now, Lance goes to be the starter.”
It’s extremely unlikely that Garoppolo needs to stay in San Francisco as a backup. A part of the rationale the Niners haven’t been in a position to commerce him is that the 30-year-old is recovering from shoulder surgical procedure he underwent after the season. There additionally usually are not many groups in want of a beginning quarterback.
Garoppolo has been linked to 1 particular NFC group, however the 49ers haven’t dominated out maintaining him. That may very well be their means of attempting to maintain his commerce worth intact, particularly if they’ve unofficially named Lance their starter.
