49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo agrees to restructured contract for 2022 season
The San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo have agreed on a restructured contract for the 2022 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
What It Means:
According to Schefter, the restructured contract makes Garoppolo the highest-paid backup quarterback in the league while ensuring via no-trade and no-tag clauses that he will remain with the team until 2023 if he so pleases. The team has maintained consistent messaging about their commitment to starting Trey Lance this season, but we could see the veteran make starts for the team at some point this season.
Garoppolo likely won't have much direct fantasy impact himself without an injury to Lance, but by staying in San Francisco, he does indirectly lock the Seattle Seahawks into starting Geno Smith and the Cleveland Browns into starting Jacoby Brissett in Week 1. The 49ers' pass-catchers may have higher floors for fantasy this season than they otherwise might in the case of an injury to Lance.
