That's not going to happen. Players, and their agents, look to get set for life on their second contract. Now Garoppolo hasn't had as much of a chance to prove himself as most, but in his mind, he's sure making up for lost time. His play will only get better, and his leadership skills are already established.
If he keeps playing the next three games as well as the last two, then Shanahan and Lynch will feel quite comfortable making the commitment, and Garoppolo will very much want to play his career under Shanahan. That's why he's here. And both sides will want a front loaded contract. The contract talks won't be contentious. I think we'll see a top five contract for at least five years.
In my eyes, the guy is worth the money already. He is unreal. Good mobility, Dan Marino release, great accuracy, touch. Won with garbage players surrounding him. I know it's to early to crown him, but man o man I'm measuring him already for kings robes, a nice scepter, and a 49er red and gold Pharaoh head dress.
