And if they do, what does the future hold for Emmanuel Sanders? 49ers Report host Thomas Mott discusses 49ers combine news, Jimmy Garoppolo and DeForest Buckner reportedly turning down a $60 million extension.
Jimmy Garoppolo has been under fire since the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. GM John Lynch spoke to the media at the NFL Combine on Tuesday and gave an update on Jimmy Garoppolo being the starting QB of the future for the 49ers. Lynch did not mince words and gave a rave review of the young 49er quarterback. Lynch went as far to say that Jimmy G has not even reached his ceiling as a QB. That’s good news for 49ers fans and Garoppolo alike.

Speaking of contracts, did DeForest Buckner turn down an offer for a $60MM contract extension? You shouldn’t believe everything you see on the internet, according to Buckner. Now, it’s still hard to know if Buckner is disputing the entire report of an extension offer or just the price point. Either way, he’s signed through 2021 but the Niners could look to sign him early as a way to save some money down the road. Other upcoming contracts include George Kittle, Arik Armstead, Jimmie Ward and Emmanuel Sanders.
