Robert Griffin III and wife Grete offered a unique take Tuesday on the Trey Lance era beginning in San Francisco.

“The 49ers when Jimmy Garoppolo show up to training camp and tries to get in the first team huddle,” Griffin wrote of the video that featured the veteran quarterback as Garoppolo, who was swiftly shown the door.

The 49ers have given veteran Jimmy Garoppolo permission to seek a trade. Getty ImagesGaroppolo, who arrived in San Francisco midway through the 2017 season after being traded by New England, is expected to move on elsewhere. The 30-year-old quarterback is four months removed from shoulder surgery and has since been cleared to practice.
“We think Jimmy would have been traded if the surgery didn’t happen. He needed to do it, there’s no ill will there at all. It’s good to see that he is healthy, but now it’s about seeing how all this will end up,” Shanahan said.
In the meantime, the NFL community will have to wait and see where Garoppolo’s spin on the quarterback carousel will land.
Grete Griffin recently announced that the couple is expecting. InstagramAs for the Griffins, they too are gearing up for their own major life change: the arrival of a new child. Grete announced her pregnancy earlier this month, revealing they’ll soon be a family of six.
“Pregnant with baby #3 and we are soon to be a family of 6!🤗 So much love my heart can explode,” she posted on Instagram at the time.
Griffin married Grete in 2018 and the couple shares two daughters together: Gloria, 4, and Gameya, 2. The former first-round pick also has a daughter, 6-year-old Reese Ann, from a previous relationship.
