One thing we know for sure is that Jimmy Garoppolo will be playing for a different team in 2022. This past season threw everyone for a bit of a loop, even if the 49ers always knew what their plan was. There was endless speculation about the future of Garoppolo once Trey Lance was acquired, but the 49ers kept him as the starter.

Garoppolo has already gave his farewell and plus the team can save $24.1 million by trading or cutting Garoppolo.

With Ben Roethlisberger retiring after the Steelers’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Wild Card round, head coach Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh need a strong replacement, and Jimmy G just might be the man for the job.

One proposal that is catching eyeballs comes from Fansided’s Peter Panacy, who lays out a scenario where the 49ers, Steelers and New England Patriots come together for a rare three-team trade.
