The New England Patriots are back in the Jimmy Garoppolo sweepstakes, even if his performance last year suggests that Bill Belichick choosing his former second-round pick over Cam Newton and Mac Jones might be a mistake.
The 49ers traded up from the 12th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft all the way up to the No. 3 selection, meaning they are in prime position to select a quarterback like Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, or Trey Lance.
That would mean that, despite the fact he took them to a Super Bowl, Garoppolo might be on his way out.
