Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was brilliant for the San Francisco 49ers this past season, helping them advance all the way to the NFC Championship. There were also on the brink of a berth in the Super Bowl before a dropped interception. Nevertheless, the franchise is still expected to trade the veteran signal-caller, even though he's expected to get shoulder surgery this month.
49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to soon undergo shoulder surgery that would sideline him until this summer, sources tell ESPN. It is not expected to impact his trade status and Garoppolo still is likely to be traded this month, per sources.

That being said, it looks like the 49ers will finally hand the keys to the offense to Trey Lance. That's a lot of responsibility for the former North Dakota State standout, but San Francisco clearly believes he's up for the task.
As for Garoppolo, he would be a viable target for a lot of teams. The QB brings a ton of experience to the table and has proven that he can get it done on the big stage as well. However, Jimmy G is 30-years-old and has likely peaked. Plus, it feels like no organization is looking at Garoppolo and thinking he could be a number one option.
After what the quarterback did in the postseason though, the 49ers should be able to get a decent return for him, maybe even a second-round pick. It will be interesting to see where Jimmy Garoppolo ends up and maybe, he'll come back even stronger after surgery.
