49ers Were ‘Close’ in Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Talks Before QB’s Surgery, Per John Lynch

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch went on KNBR's Tolbert & Copes radio show Monday and discussed a number of topics, including trade talks surrounding quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

"I felt we were close in some discussions and then the decision was made to have surgery and it brought things to a screeching halt," Lynch said, per Jake Hutchinson of KNBR.

"We either want to have Jimmy playing for us, which we're alright with, or we want him to get the value."

Garoppolo underwent successful shoulder surgery on March 8, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network:
