On Monday, when the legal tampering period began, Ian Rapoport reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers are signing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on a two-year deal, getting their likely 2022 starter, although a rookie quarterback is still potentially in the mix.

Prior to the signing, Jimmy Garoppolo's clearest two destinations were the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and now, there appears to be just one legitimate suitor for Jimmy Garoppolo currently, although a Deshaun Watson trade could bring more impatient, aggressive suitors to the fold.


So, did Jimmy Garoppolo end up finessing the 49ers, or how did events transpire in the way they have?
