Report: Seahawks Discussing Adding 49ers Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo | Seahawks Rumors

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the Seahawks have discussed adding 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, which is the focus of today’s Seahawks rumors and news. Garoppolo could be traded or be released, making him a free agent. The Seahawks have faced Garoppolo a lot over the years in the NFC West. Garoppolo is a two-time Super Bowl champion as a backup with the Patriots and also led the 49ers to two NFC Championship game appearances. Garoppolo is expected to be replaced in San Francisco by Trey Lance. Although it is not common to trade within the division, it has happened before with Drew Bledsoe, Wes Welker and Donovan McNabb. If the Seahawks add Garoppolo, he would be in a quarterback room with Drew Lock and Geno Smith. Chat Sports’ Tyler Jones breaks down the Jimmy Garoppolo Seahawks news and rumors on this episode of Seahawks Today.

Jeremy Fowler (ESPN) on Jimmy G to Seahawks Rumors:
“I’m told that internally, they have discussed the possibility of Garoppolo playing for them. They’ve done their film work to see how he would fit. Certainly tricky to do a trade inside of the NFC West. But the 49ers and Seattle know they can sort of wait this out. The 49ers have limited cap space right now, I think around $5 million. They want to re-sign Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel. To do that, they need some of Garoppolo’s base salary. Seattle probably knows that and maybe they won’t make a trade and wait for the 49ers to release him.”
