Report: Garoppolo extension with 49ers not 'imminent'

The San Francisco 49ers sent shockwaves throughout the NFL by trading for Jimmy Garoppolo from the New England Patriots, but they made the move without first agreeing to a contract extension with the quarterback, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

While the 49ers will obviously try to extend Garoppolo, a deal between the team and its newly acquired franchise player isn't "imminent," added Rapoport.

Garoppolo has a chance to boost his value in the second half of the season, while the 49ers are likely looking to evaluate him before committing to a big-money extension, knowing they have the franchise tag to fall back on.
