49ers GM John Lynch told the Eye Test for Two podcast he has no doubt Garoppolo (ankle) will be the team's Week 1 starter in 2021.
Analysis: Lynch did stipulate "if he's injury-free" when he was asked about his commitment to Garoppolo, who missed 13 games in 2018 and 10 in 2020. There's been talk of the team pursuing Deshaun Watson, but it isn't clear the Texans will comply with their star QB's trade request, and even if they do, San Francisco can't match the draft picks Miami and New York have to offer. Garoppolo has two years remaining on his five-year, $137.5 million contract, with a dead-cap charge of only $2.8 million if he's traded or released this offseason. Lynch may expect Garoppolo to keep the starting job, but that doesn't mean the 49ers GM won't consider other options. Garoppolo should have plenty of time this winter and spring to recover from the high-ankle sprain that caused him to miss the second half of the 2020 campaign.

Barkley took 53 snaps in 2020, completing 11 of 21 passes for 197 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Analysis: The 2020 campaign was the ultimate Josh Allen Show, so even the most faithful Bills fan would have a hard time remembering when these 21 passes happened, but they did take place over the course of three mop-up duty appearances. Barkley won't wow anyone on the field after being in the league since 2013, but he's served as a good voice for Allen and knows the Buffalo offense as well as anyone, so it'd be a bit of a surprise if the cash-strapped Bills turn to a higher profile backup for 2021. The same quarterback room of Allen, Barkley and Jake Fromm seems the most likely course of action.

Wick was released by the Saints on Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Wick's time in New Orleans has come to an end after not suiting up for a single game with the team. The 27-year-old hasn't played an NFL snap since 2018 where he missed his lone target. While the tight end has had some time away from the field, Wick will now aim to compete for a depth role elsewhere.

Gabbert completed nine of 16 passes for 143 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions across four games during the 2020 regular season. He also rushed nine times for 16 yards and committed a fumble that was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Almost all of Gabbert's action came in a Week 16 evisceration of the Lions, when Tom Brady took an early seat and the veteran backup threw for 143 yards and a pair of scores in the second half. Gabbert otherwise only attempted one other pass all season, in Week 6 against the Packers. The 31-year-old played 2020 on a one-year pact, but given his command of coach Bruce Arians' system and the reasonable salary he'd command, it's likely Gabbert returns to the Buccaneers fold in 2021.
February 9, 2021 5:08 PM EST
Walter signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walter was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent in March, but he's locked down security for the 2021 campaign. The 24-year-old suited up in four games with the Niners last year, rushing once for three yards and caught his lone target for 27 yards.
