Jimmy Garoppolo would not return to the 49ers in 2022

The week before the HC Kyle Shanahan had indicated that he did not rule out the possibility that the QB Jimmy Garoppolo stayed with San Francisco the following campaign. However, this Sunday, via Ian Rapoport from NFL Media, the opposite was reported. The 49ers intend to trade for Garoppolo in the next offseason so that the rookie Trey LanceEventually, he can become the starting quarterback of the franchise:

“Even in a quest for the Super Bowl, which is theoretically still possible at this point, this is the 49ers plan for next season: start Trey Lance, trade Jimmy Garoppolo. It’s not a surprise, they [los 49ers] they have been quite frank about it ”, commented Rapoport this Sunday in NFL GameDay Morning. “What Garoppolo is doing now is increasing the value of the picks the 49ers would get in a trade that involves him, and making it more likely that they want to take him somewhere he wants to go.”

Garoppolo is currently playing under a 5-year, $ 137 million contract that will expire at the end of the 2022 NFL Season, and if Jimmy G stayed with the team for another year, his impact against the salary cap the following season would be $ 27 million. ; figure too high for a quarterback who sooner or later should go to the bench. Therefore, seeking a trade is the most feasible option for both Jimmy G and the 49ers. In which team will we see Garoppolo in 2022?

Kliff Kingsbury could leave the Cardinals

A hiring carousel in college football could end up opening a head coach opening in the NFL. With information from Adam Schefter of ESPN, the University of Oklahoma, who this Sunday was left without a head coach, would look for Kliff Kingsbury, current HC of the Cardinals, to take over the program college.

The news is that this Sunday afternoon it became official that the Oklahoma Sooners were left without a head coach when Lincoln Riley, 38, decided to sign with USC (University of Southern California), taking the vacancy that Clay Helton left when he was fired last September after going 46-24 in seven seasons.

So in Oklahoma they need to fill the vacancy, and Kingsbury is one of the main targets. The current head coach of Arizona has the team as the best seed in the NFC with a 9-2 record, however, throughout three seasons he only has a record of 22-20-1 (.523%) and this 2021 is under his last year of contract so, momentarily, his stay with the Cardinals for the following season is not guaranteed. Will we see Kingsbury as HC in the NFL in 2022?

Without a doubt this is a very important loss for Tennessee. Brown leads the team this season with 46 receptions for 615 yards and 3 TDs. However, he suffered chest, rib and hand injuries in the surprise loss of Week 11 to the Texans, and now the earliest he could return would be next Thursday, December 23, when the Titans face the 49ers at the TNF in Week 16.

Finally, Brown’s injury could be a great opportunity for WR Golden Tate, who is in the practice squad, watch field time. Tate signed with Tennessee last week and practiced with the team Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but they decided not to raise him to the active roster yet. However, with the limitations shown by the offensive arsenal, it will be a matter of time before the HC Mike Vrabel make the decision. Can the Titans survive an injury-filled 2021?
