Garoppolo can be cut today and the Niners only take a total of $4.2M in cap hit over the next two seasons. That's really nothing for a QB.

You'll notice the deal the Niners gave him was heavily front-loaded, because they were not sold on him to be the long term answer at QB. So they paid him big money when they had the cap space, and basically put him on a year-to-year deal from 2020-2022. Garoppolo has to play well to get another big contract if he wants one.
