Garoppolo has an expected trade coming with various teams, according to multiple sources. This surgery will not hurt his trade value, per Adam Schefter.
Preliminary estimates are that Garoppolo is expected to resume throwing sometime prior to the July 4 holiday. If and when a trade is consummated, Garoppolo would be available to begin working with the new coaching and medical staff.

Has Jimmy Garoppolo’s trade value been tarnished? Teams usually won’t trade for injured players or players coming off of surgery. If anything, Garoppolo proved a few things this past season. He is one gritty player, and he played through injury. These two factors may be what gets the deal done for Jimmy Garoppolo and his new team.
