Report: Garoppolo decision leaves Lance ‘a bit annoyed’
The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a contract restructuring with Jimmy Garoppolo last week after they were unable to trade him. While Trey Lance said he is happy to still have Garoppolo as a teammate, his initial reaction may indicate otherwise.
In his latest column for MMQB, Albert Breer said he was told Lance was “a bit annoyed” after the Niners decided to keep Garoppolo. However, Breer noted that Lance is a mature player who can handle the situation.
The Niners are bringing Garoppolo back with a deal that includes $6.5 million in base salary, less than what Lance will earn in the second year of his rookie contract. Garoppolo’s deal includes incentives that could total up to $16 million. After the 49ers announced the new deal, Lance said it was “wonderful” that Garoppolo remained in San Francisco for the time being.
