'Confidence on both sides' that Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers will reach deal
The belief is that there is "confidence on both sides" that the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will agree on a long-term deal.
Originally, the 49ers were going to put the franchise tag on the relatively unproven quarterback. But, after going 5-0 in five impressive starts, the 26-year-old would cost $25 million for one year under the tag. His small sample size won't help him in contract negotiations, but if the 49ers want to lock him up it could turn into a complicated, back-and-forth process.
In 5 starts, Garoppolo averaged 308.4 passing yards while completing 67.1% of his passes, with 6 of his 176 attempts going for touchdowns.
