One of the biggest storylines ahead of Saturday's clash between the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers centers around the future of Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The 30-year-old has already been linked to an offseason move away from San Francisco, but at this point, it sounds like Jimmy G wants to remain with the squad.

Prior to the 49ers' Divisional Round matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Garoppolo revealed his true feelings about the Niners and his teammates:

“I'm trying to keep this thing going as long as I can because I love these guys,” via David Lombardi of The Athletic.

It seems like if it were up to him, Garoppolo would prefer to remain with the 49ers. However, as we all know, a lot of other factors will come into play as the Niners make the necessary personnel decisions within their squad during the offseason. Jimmy G is going to be a free agent in 2023 and if the Niners were ever going to trade him, now would be the time to do so.

A lot will be riding on Saturday's matchup against the Packers and his performance will likely have a significant impact when the 49ers consider Garoppolo's future with the team.
