Slightly concerning for the process of law that a family of an alleged perpetrator can release a far more dignified, respectful and fair statement than a defence attorney.

This is the issue - do you accept growing pains or switch at the first time of trouble? Most sides elect the former; Josh, for example, had the fearsome competition of Peterman and Barkley, rather than someone who has Super Bowl appearances against his name, which meant he was allowed to sort through his issues and gremlins without a threat hanging over him.

Depends on the evidence. I think he could come back from it as long as he isn’t found guilty of statutory rape - or, of course, worse.

Sal must have got so excited writing that article - he couldn’t stop at one, he had to do another.

I’m expecting Blackshear to go. I’m really hoping we can hold on to Johnson.

Fans may be upset by Garoppolo is not overly popular with 49ers fans so, unless Lance is primarily to blame for them going 0-5 I don’t think there will be much call to switch the QB. Now, in the media who, as we’ve seen, like to put as much pressure on the team as possible, it could be very different.

In fairness, doesn't the no trade clause mean that Garoppolo has to agree to a trade, rather than there won't be a trade at all?

Or the worst...

Which WR would be cut/traded to fit him in?

Browns had already ruled themselves out as they're going to apparently stick with Brissett until Watson has served his suspension. As per Rapoport, sounds like Garoppolo was not that interested in going to the Seahawks. Could be a good way to start a coaching career; help Lance through his first season as starter.

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1564363001167319042 Sorry, not sure if I embedded properly. From Adam Schefter: Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers agreed to a restructured one-year contract that will keep the QB in San Francisco this season, per sources. The contract contains no-trade and no-tag clauses, assuring Garoppolo will remain in SF this season and have the freedom to leave in 2023.

Social media has a lot to answer for but, let's be honest, his ridiculuous stance and not letting due process take place has no doubt resulted in the death threats against Araiza and his family. Not that should take responsibility away from those who have abused Araiza and his family or Gilleon.

Zac K Moss is available for trade? That’s awful news!

And decent young punter will be on a team already. I guess it’ll be a veteran to a one year deal and we’ll extend if they do a reasonable job, unless a punter we like falls to us on the draft.

Sorry to be pedantic, but wasn’t Watson charged with multiple accounts of sexual assault rather than rape?

Not saying I believe it for a minute, but could result in Duke Johnson making the roster.

I assume Barkley’s performances may have pushed them into a panic move?

Part of the reason why I think the accused’s name should not be released but, as it’s currently a civil claim, not sure what could have been done to prevent it.

I thought they could include him in the current 53 but if he makes opening weekend then the full annual salary is guaranteed?

Perhaps a play off chasing team then - if Tannehill or Ryan picks up an injury, for example.

"Case Keenum will be starting as Quarterback at the Rams because Josh Allen is still trying to complete the ping pong challenge"

I reckon so, because his guaranteed salary doesn't kick in until September, and they'll probably do something with IR to keep the players they want. They'll ask him to renegotiate his contract long term if they keep him as back up; if he refuses then I imagine they'll cut him before the guarantee date, whilst hoping a QB goes down at a Super Bowl chasing team in the mean time.

According to Rappaport, Garoppolo doesn't want to go there - perhaps due to leftover loyalty to the 49ers. Not like he has got many other options though; presume he'll (and the 49ers) will wait until a QB goes down.

Agreed. I wonder if we may wait until Thursday or Friday before signing someone, if we run another trial day on Wednesday with those cut who we're interested in - see how they work holding for Bass etc.

Thanks. I bet the 49ers would love to trade Garoppolo to prevent him from ending up at the Seahawks.
