Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is willing to do whatever it takes to land 49ers QB, but the franchise’s odds of landing Garoppolo are slim.
The “Jimmy Garoppolo injury” is a topic that has been in the news lately. The Browns have been rumored as one of the teams interested in acquiring Jimmy Garoppolo.

This summer, the Cleveland Browns will assess their quarterback options, which might include pursuing San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
While Garoppolo’s name has been mentioned as a possible Browns acquisition for some time, the Browns are not among the favorites to snag the experienced quarterback. That honor goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers of the AFC North, who now top the odds published by OddsChecker. The Pittsburgh Steelers are +300 to sign Garoppolo, with the Washington Football Team (+400) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+550) following closely behind.
At +1,200, the Browns are a top 10 candidate for Garoppolo, giving them a 7.7% implied probability.
“It’s difficult to pin down Jimmy Garoppolo as a quarterback. “His figures show he’s nothing more than a game manager,” said Kyle Newman, a representative for OddsChecker. “In two seasons, he’s only reached 20 touchdowns, he averages 14 interceptions per 17 games, and probably most crucially, he’s only played a complete season once.” Despite this, his teams are successful. As a starter, he has a record of 33-14. Since joining the 49ers, the club has gone 31-14 when he starts and 8-19 when he doesn’t. So, even with his limitations as a passer, it’s evident he’s doing something well, and it’s something that some club will value this offseason on the trade market.”
After losing in the playoffs, Garoppolo’s future is uncertain.
Garoppolo likely played his last game in San Francisco on Sunday, when the 49ers lost to the Rams in the NFC Championship game.
After the defeat, Garoppolo noted, “[the emotions] struck quite hard in the locker room.” “I believe it’ll start to settle in a little bit over the following couple of days.” Emotions are high after a game victory or defeat, and it’s one of those things where you have to be grateful for it, smile, and focus on the positives. We’ll see what happens over the following several days, weeks, or months, but I adore this group. Throughout the whole year, this team’s fight and battle have been quite outstanding. “Those guys are fantastic.”
While Garoppolo has won games, he has been ordinary, and the writing has been on the wall that his time in San Francisco is coming to an end. In last year’s NFL draft, the 49ers moved up to No. 3 to choose Trey Lance as their quarterback of the future.
Baker Mayfield will be the starting quarterback for the Browns in the future, according to the team.
Mayfield underwent surgery on his non-throwing shoulder on January 19 to repair a torn labrum, but he is anticipated to be back in training camp in time.
After trying to make a tackle during Week 2 against the Texans, he played virtually the whole season with the injury, wearing a brace on his non-throwing shoulder. Last season, Mayfield threw 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while leading the Browns to an 8-9 record.
Mayfield is in the last year of his rookie contract and is looking for an extension that would keep him in Cleveland for the long haul. The Browns have publicly backed Mayfield as their starter for next season, albeit another quarterback, such as Garoppolo, might challenge him for the job.
“At this point, we’ve been with Baker for quite some time. At the conclusion of the season, Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters, “We know his work ethic, we know his passion, and we’ve seen him as a great quarterback in this league.” “We fully anticipate Baker to take over as our starter and help us rebound.”
Mayfield’s fifth-year option is worth $19 million, which restricts the team’s options at quarterback. The Browns need to retool at wide out and on the defensive line, so Garoppolo’s salary of $25 million or more for next season would be less than ideal.
