What awaits 49ers, Jimmy Garoppolo in optimistic offseason?

SANTA CLARA – Jimmy Garoppolo’s next contract is now the 49ers’ first and foremost offseason priority, and although he was shrewdly non-committal Monday about a potential long-term deal, he repeatedly said “we” when referring to next season’s 49ers.

As teammates packed up after a 6-10 season that ended on a 5-win heater, Garoppolo did not give the impression he wants to skip town for good as arguably the NFL’s most coveted free agent.
