The 49ers don’t simply keep the heart of a full-back Jimmy Garoppolo In the bubble wrap not to let him practice. They basically kicked him out of the rest of the team, without cutting him off.
Coach Kyle Shanahan spoke about Garoppolo’s day-to-day situation with reporters on Wednesday.
“It was this morning, doing the throwing program,” Shanahan said. “I don’t think he’s still here, so he came in and did that and went out, so I’m going to keep in touch with Jimmy. We’re going to keep doing that and take it day by day.”
Basically, Garoppolo can come and go as he pleases.
We’re saying, go ahead, you don’t have to be here,” Shanahan said. “Anything he wants to be, he can. I think Jimmy, as I said yesterday, Jimmy, [G.M.] john [Lynch]And I talked for a while. We understand every part of this situation and I think both sides know that each side is doing its best.”
Shanahan was asked if there was a scenario in which Garoppolo could be on the list if he had not been traded by then.
“I never give a shit, so yeah, I’m sure I can come up with the script, but I think I said earlier this would surprise me and I still feel that way,” Shanahan said.
Honestly, while the 49ers wait for the midfielder elsewhere to suffer an injury at the end of the season, that could happen Tree Lance. This would be a scenario that would keep Garoppolo on the roster this season.
This approach requires Garoppolo to play well, and apparently it does. They can’t take him off the team. It could be said that they couldn’t keep him off the training ground. But he must be willing to press the issue.
At the moment, it appears that it is not. However, without pressuring Garoppolo for the 49ers to make a move, they will likely continue to do so beyond pre-season, cutting Garoppolo just before the start of the season and making it difficult for him to find a new home in 2022.
