Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers agreed to a restructured one-year contract that will keep the quarterback in San Francisco this season.
The contract contains a no-trade and no-tag clause in it, assuring Garoppolo will remain in San Francisco this season and have the freedom to leave in 2023. Garoppolo now will serve as Trey Lance’s backup this season.
Garoppolo’s new one-year restructured deal with the 49ers is worth $6.5 million in base, fully guaranteed, sources told Schefter. He has another total of $500,000 in roster bonuses. He also has playtime bonuses that can boost the value by another nearly $9 million.

The #49ers and QB Jimmy Garoppolo are finalizing a new contract that will make him the highest paid backup in the NFL, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. A solution that keeps Jimmy G on the roster while making clear it’s Trey Lance’s team going forward. pic.twitter.com/HZJf5Zc48m
