If Jimmy Garoppolo is on the 49ers’ roster for Week 1, the $26.95 million he’s owed in 2022 will be fully guaranteed. And San Francisco just might pay that price. Or at least according to coach Kyle Shanahan, who on Tuesday didn’t rule out the possibility of keeping Garoppolo as a backup option at quarterback.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what I’ll do that day,” Shanahan said when asked about Garoppolo’s future as it relates to the NFL’s Aug. 30 deadline for final roster cuts. “(I’ll) probably decide when it comes.”<\/p>\n

Pressed to clarify whether there’s still a chance Garoppolo could remain on the team, even after being excused from the entire offseason program to let 2021 first-round pick Trey Lance take over under center, Shanahan left all options on the table.<\/p>\n

“I think any scenario is possible,” he said, adding that he still communicates with Garoppolo on a regular basis and is confident in the veteran’s physical condition after recovering from early-offseason shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n
