The niners undoubtedly want something in a trade. Garoppolo won't play for a veteran minimum and in a trade "somebody" would have to pay his full salary. It is unknown if he is really fully recovered from injury. Nobody is going to take on his full salary and give up a player to get so many unknowns. After he is released, they can get him without committing to his current salary and without giving up anything in trade.
1) Pathetic that an (alleged) serial sexual assualter is suspended for less than a season, and rewarded with one of the richest contracts in the league.
2) consensus was that the Browns would make a play for Garopalo if Watson were suspended for the season. Maybe they make 2/3 of a play?

He probably has little interest in going to the Browns to play 2/3 of a season in an offense he doesn't know for an organization that is at best questionable. There is some talk he might end up in Seattle, but for sure they are waiting for him to be released. Nobody sees him as a "can't miss" quarterback of the future. He is a project that could yield a big reward at little cost, but a must have he isn't. As an emergency injury/suspension replacement, he is too expensive and will undoubtedly not be ready to play in the first regular season game.
