49ers NFL Betting

Today we’re covering San Francisco 49ers news to help with your 49ers NFL betting online. After using the third pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select quarterback Trey Lance, incumbent starter Jimmy Garopollo’s days as the team’s starter were numbered. During the offseason, the 49ers announced Lance would be their starter this upcoming season, which led to many people speculating where Garopollo would land.

With plenty of teams looking for a starting quarterback during the offseason, it was assumed that the 49ers would quickly find a landing spot for Garopollo. However, he suffered a shoulder injury late in the season, which required surgery to fix. Bad timing.

Due to the offseason surgery, the 49ers had difficulty finding a team to trade for Garopollo, which led to experts predicting the team would release him before the season starts. Not the case.  The 49ers surprised a lot of people on Monday when they announced that they had restructured their former starter’s contract. Loyalty? Fans seem to think so.
