Are the Cleveland Browns the only realistic landing spot for 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo?

Though the list of potential suitors for the somehow-still-on-the-roster Jimmy Garoppolo has dwindled heavily as a result of Deshaun Watson's reemergence in the market, there are apparently still reasonable places for the 30-year-old to land.

NFL insider Chris Mortensen told ESPN on Wednesday that the San Francisco 49ers quarterback “is one I would not ignore for Cleveland.” The statement came as Mortensen was discussing the seemingly inevitable breakup between the Browns and Baker Mayfield, as well as the possibility of bringing in Watson as a replacement.

The reason the Browns would have interest in Garoppolo is because, as Mortensen explains, the team wants “an adult” to be their quarterback.
