On the 49ers podcast with Marko:

#1 Marko how surprised were quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo teammates when they learned that Garoppolo was returning and not being traded away.

#2 Garoppolo got a pay cut and will be receiving $6.5 million in guaranteed base salary and could earn another $500,000 in bonus money and could earn up to $8.45 million in incentives.

#3 Marko talk about Jimmy G’s reaction to getting the chance to return to the 49ers and be the back up for Trey Lance. Garoppolo said, “I’m happy with the way it worked out.”

#4 Turning to the City of Santa Clara and the 49ers settling on a dispute for a total of $1.675 million for lawsuits. The Niners added another $325,000 to the settlement to bring to the over $1.6 million total.

#5 The settlement wasn’t done without a verbal knock down drag out between city council member Anthony Becker who with four other city council members voted in favor of the 49ers settlement and opposed were city council member Kathy Watannbe and Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor. Becker told Watannbe to F off and he started in on the Mayor verbally cussing her out. Gillmor called for a policeman to stand in the hearing room and with his presence the meeting ran without any further verbal exchanges.
