"It's kind of coming full circle," Garoppolo said. "You go through this NFL career and you start as a young guy coming in. Tom [Brady] kind of showed me the ropes. The competition between us was awesome. It really made me grow as a rookie and as a young player. So, that's kind of what me and Trey, we'll mold our relationship into that. But it will happen naturally. It's one of those things you can't force anything. Just let it come as it may." Garoppolo has a no-trade clause in his contract, which limits potential suitors who might be interested in the veteran quarterback. However, the 49ers also appear to be prepared to keep Garoppolo heading into the 2021 season.
