Well, Monday came with another wild QB proposal that led to a lot of articles on the subject. Here they are.
High prices. Patience needed. What am I hearing about the Patriots’ quest for a new QB
As expressed for The Athletic, if a defender is perceived as available, the Patriots answered the phone. The asking price for any of the available quarterbacks was not disclosed.
The rest of the candidates in the trade market are well established: Deshaun Watson, Jimmy Garoppolo, Marcus Mariota and Sam Darnold. It is possible that Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Teddy Bridgewater, Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles are also among this group.
Which QB domino is about to fall? The latest news on Bears, Texans, 49ers and more
Despite persistent speculation, the 49ers are on the side of Garoppolo. This position seems increasingly unlikely to change, except for the potential for great development. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that an obvious upgrade would be needed to spend vital resources and leave Garoppolo. Deshaun Watson of the Texans is the only potentially available defender who clearly meets these criteria and the Niners are monitoring this situation closely as Houston tries to reconcile with its distant caller.
But the 49ers’ comfort level with Garoppolo is high enough that they can be patient and wait.
What Jimmy G’s trade ban clause means for the future with 49ers
There is absolutely no reason for him to think he could find a better situation outside of Santa Clara, outside of Shanahan’s attack.
Garoppolo may not be a bargain with his scheduled payment of $ 25.5 million (salary and bonuses) for the next season, but the 49ers also don’t believe he is getting much.
Still, it’s hard to imagine Garoppolo getting a two-year deal, $ 51.1 million – the real money remaining on his 49ers contract – right now if he were suddenly a free agent.

Things can change, of course, but now the most likely scenario is that Jimmy Garoppolo won’t go anywhere and earn that money from 49ers.
Seven 49ers free agents can aim to fill gaps in the off-season list
Plan A is to keep Trent Williams in red and gold, but if the 49ers are unable to secure the Pro Bowl eight times tackle, they need to have a replacement plan in place. Robinson is a solid option that would cost the team less, while providing blind protection for Jimmy Garoppolo.
Robinson was a second-round selection for the Alabama Jaguars and has played almost every game since returning from an ACL injury that kept him out of all but two games in 2018. Although Crimson Tide’s former tackle did not stand out in the offensive line, with proper training it can improve.
Pro Football Focus projects Robinson’s salary in 2021 to be approximately $ 2 million, which would allow 49ers to secure Juszczyk’s tastes with another multi-year deal while looking for his next tackle in the draft.
Simms can’t imagine a 49ers trading scenario involving Nick Bosa
“I don’t think they would deliver Nick Bosa,” said Simms. “I don’t. The defense is formulated around the rush pass. Dee Ford, it doesn’t look good that he is able to play. I don’t know where he will be. I mean, the injury must be a concern. He was nonexistent [in 2020].
“Now, you’re going to lose Nick Bosa who really – we used to say that a lot – before the injury, Nick Bosa was one of the best defensive players in football. I don’t think Shanahan – I don’t think they would sacrifice that. I do not. I do not. I don’t think they would leave Nick Bosa. “
