Maybe Jimmy Garoppolo will be the San Francisco 49ers quarterback next season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Tuesday that he expects that to be the case.
"I expect Jimmy to be our starter next year,"
Shanahan told reporters. "I mean, I expect him to come play with us this year (after he recovers from his ankle injury). We have six games left. We are not out of the playoffs yet. I've been on a team that was 3-6 going into a bye week that ended up winning their division.
"I think we have guys on this team capable of finishing this the right way. We've got to do it one game at a time, and I hope Jimmy can come back and be a part of that. But to think that we've made any decisions on anybody going into the future isn't the case."
There is another factor to consider. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports that the 49ers can't trade Garoppolo without his permission until March of 2022. That's because the quarterback has a no-trade clause in his contract for the 2021 league year.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean San Francisco won't trade Garoppolo before or during next season. The quarterback would need to approve any move, though. The team could also release the quarterback outright without much of a salary-cap impact, should it choose to move in another direction.
Garoppolo is scheduled to
earn base salaries totaling $48.3 million over the next two seasons and count around $27 million against the salary cap each year. After this season, the quarterback has two years remaining on the five-year, $137.5 million deal he signed in 2018.

49ers' Brock Purdy focused on 2024, not contract 'nonsense'
During the NFL owners' meetings, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York noted the significant rise in quarterback salaries in recent years. However, he acknowledged the market value of such players, recognizing that he'll have to sign a substantial check for his young quarterback, Brock Purdy, next year.
York stated, "And to me, the quarterback is the most important position, not just in football, but in all sports, and those guys should be paid a lot."
Last week, Brock Purdy addressed York's comments, showing no concern about the financial implications that will arise next year. Instead, he
Brock Purdy weighs in on Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers contract talks
Brock Purdy set a San Francisco 49ers single-season record in 2023, throwing for 4,280 passing yards. Many of those yards came on passes to his top target, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who amassed a team-leading and career-high 1,342 receiving yards.
Purdy and Aiyuk have developed great chemistry on the football field, and the quarterback would like to build upon that for years to come. However, that is out of his control, and Aiyuk's future is in the hands of the front office.
