returned to the this year only because his trade market never heated up. But that doesn't mean teams weren't interested at all. Days ahead of San Francisco's Week 5 matchup with the , the veteran quarterback told reporters Thursday Jackie Slater Jersey that Carolina nearly acquired him this summer."I think we were advancing (in talks) with a couple different teams," Garoppolo said, . "Nothing obviously came to fruition. (The Panthers) were top of the list, I Justin Hollins Jersey would say, one of the top couple. (But) I'm glad things worked out. I'm here, so I'm focused on this stuff now." In addition to retaining , their big-name QB addition of the previous offseason, the Panthers went on to Troy Reeder Jersey acquire from the in July. Garoppolo, meanwhile, agreed to a revised contract with the 49ers in late August, after San Francisco failed to find a trade partner. Both the 49ers and Garoppolo had forecast a breakup, with 2021 first-rounder set to take over under center, but now Garoppolo is back in the saddle indefinitely after Lance suffered a broken ankle in Week 2. It's safe to say the 49ers ended up with the better QB investment Isaac Bruce Jersey , at least for now. Mayfield has ranked among the league's worst starters during a 1-3 start for Carolina, and it's po sible the only reason the Panthers haven't already benched him is because Darnold is still recovering from a preseason injury. Garoppolo, on the other hand, has the 49ers atop the NFC West at 2-2, fresh off a dominant victory over the reigning Super Bowl Jake Funk Jersey champion . | ||
