The 49ers made that decision apparently to make roster space for offensive lineman Blake Hance, […]

When everything seemed set for the final San Francisco 49ers roster cuts, major news popped up. The 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo agreed to a revised deal, making him the highest-paid backup quarterback in the league.

When the San Francisco 49ers decided to bring back Jimmy Garoppolo to a restructured one-year deal, the biggest concern of fans was how it would impact Trey Lance.

The San Francisco 49ers got embarrassed in a 17-0 road loss to the Houston Texans on the road last Thursday,  thus spoiling the Niners’ chances for a preseason sweep.
