Niners Nation

The 49ers have a dysfunctional situation going on. General manager John Lynch has continued to throw up a shield on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo after recently saying, “We will not cut Garoppolo—he is too good of a player.” San Francisco’s free agency was suppressed due to Garoppolo accumulating 12.68% of the team’s salary cap. Nevertheless, head coach Kyle Shanahan remains with a core that can compete. NFL franchises take risks on prospects with every selection in the draft. I’ve been harsh on Lynch and Shanahan’s early draft selections, but we won’t have to worry about an early whiff after the front office mortgaged the future for Trey Lance last season.
