San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was put to work this offseason. He got on the phone with players the team hoped to recruit via free agency, according to a report by Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
One of Jimmy Garoppolo's offseason jobs: free agent recruiter. Jed York said #49ers quarterback got on the phone this month with the players the team hoped to land.
It's not uncommon for players to recruit potential team additions during the offseason, whether that be in person, over the phone, or via social media. Players can speak with one another but teams are not allowed to speak with free agent targets while they remain under contract.
NFL teams were allowed to open communications with agents two days before the start of the new league year on March 13. San Francisco opened free agency by signing players like linebacker Kwon Alexander, running back Tevin Coleman, and others. The team also traded for former Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford.
