Since SF would have the rights to Garropolo and he left to another team after this season, wouldn't that make SF eligible for comp pick based on his contract he were to sign and how well he did?

Quote:Garoppolo will become an unrestricted free agent after the season, but the 49ers don't have to sign him to a long-term deal to keep him; San Francisco can place the franchise tag or transition tag on him.
It's pretty much guaranteed that SF will franchise Jimmy if they can't get a deal done before then. Assuming he doesn't flop.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
