Six Jimmy Garoppolo landing spots if 49ers move on from quarterback

As the 49ers turn their attention toward the 2021 season, they will need to look long and hard at the quarterback position.

When Jimmy Garoppolo has been healthy, the 49ers have won a lot of games. There's no doubt Garoppolo has his limitations, but he has played well in Kyle Shanahan's system and did lead the 49ers to a berth in Super Bowl LIV last season.

However, concerns about Garoppolo's ceiling, his inability to stay healthy and his penchant to turn the ball over could lead Shanahan and general manager John Lynch to cut bait with Garoppolo in favor of a quarterback who would have a higher upside in Shanahan's system.

Should the 49ers elect to move on from Garoppolo, which is far from a certainty, there will be no shortage of suitors for a quarterback who is 24-8 in his career as a starting quarterback.

Let's take a look at those who will have a rose waiting for Garoppolo should he hit the open market.
