San Francisco 49ers

After bringing in Jimmy Garoppolo from New England last season, the 49ers went on a tear and finished the season 6-10 after a dismal start. The world saw that the hype around Garoppolo’s sky-high potential was very, very real.

Unfortunately, there isn’t exactly much of a supporting cast in the Bay Area to help him out. Marquise Goodwin and Pierre Garcon lead an uninspiring receiver group out wide and George Kittle has shown flashes at tight end but is still young and relatively unproven. Jerick McKinnon signed on to replace the departed Carlos Hyde but in his limited time as a lead back in Minnesota (when Adrian Peterson missed the season a few years back), he was very underwhelming.

He also clued the public in on his desire to head out west, posting a since-deleted comment on Instagram recently. This is the clearest indication Bryant has made as to where he’d like to suit up in 2018. If he decreases his contractual demands, the Bay would be an awfully nice spot for Bryant to come in and make an impact immediately for his young star quarterback.
