It is expected the 49ers will move on from Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason, and the Trey Lance era will begin in San Francisco.
Lance showed growth throughout the season, earning praise from a number of teammates. With no other quarterback signed for 2022, Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch will be looking to find Lance’s backup.
There are number of veteran quarterbacks who could be targets for the 49ers. Finding a veteran who can mentor Lance throughout his first season as a starting quarterback could be building on the progress the young quarterback made during his rookie season.
