San Francisco 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo may be the last quarterback traded in this crazy offseason. Garoppolo has been cleared to resume physical activities after recovering from shoulder surgery that he underwent in March.

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio believes the two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback will end up playing for the Houston Texans next season.

"Who will make the move? I continue to think the Texans are deliberately slow playing the situation and waiting for the right chance to reunite Garoppolo with the man who drafted him in New England in 2014. If not the Texans, who?"

The Texans selected quarterback Davis Mills in the third round of last year's draft.

Mills went 2-9 as a starter last season, throwing 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for 2,664 yards.

"He’s done more in recent years than Tua has, that’s for sure" - Mike Florio suggests Jimmy Garoppolo could be an upgrade on Tua Tagovailoa in Miami

Mike Florio thinks another team that could make an effort to acquire Jimmy Garoppolo is the Miami Dolphins. New Dolphins head coach, Mike McDaniel, was Garoppolo's offensive coordinator over the last few years and has seen first hand just what the quarterback is capable of.

Florio believes Garoppolo could be an upgrade on current Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa.

"No one really stands out. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has worked extensively with Garoppolo, but Miami seems to be all in with Tua Tagovailoa. Would Garoppolo be better? He’s done more in recent years than Tua has, that’s for sure."

Since being drafted in 2020, Tagovailoa has a 13-8 record, but hasn't made the postseason. Many consider this a do-or-die season for him, meaning he has to perform well or Miami will be ready to move om.

Many quarterbacks have been traded this offseason. It all started when the Denver Broncos acquired Russell Wilson from the Seahawks in a blockbuster trade.

Deshaun Watson got traded out of Houston to the Cleveland Browns. The Washington Commanders acquired Carson Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts after just one season, while Matt Ryan was sent to the Colts for a third-round draft pick.

Just recently, the Cleveland Browns sent Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers for a fifth-round pick.

With Garoppolo being cleared to throw, he'll be a lot closer to being able to pass a physical, which is required for a trade to be completed. He could indeed be the next quarterback on the move.
