NFC Notes: 49ers, Jimmy Garoppolo, Cardinals, Seahawks

49ers

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo said that “he can do everything on his still-mending foot but sprint” and is not currently committed to returning should the team reach the Super Bowl.

“That’s still up in the air,” Garoppolo said, via Pro Football Talk.

• Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post predicts Tom Brady ending up with the 49ers this offseason.
• La Canfora notes that 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan has coveted Brady in the past and they could use a veteran quarterback to go along with Trey Lance or Brock Purdy.

Cardinals

• Cardinals OLB coach Charlie Bullen is leaving the team to join the University of Illinois in the same role, as well as being the pass-rush coordinator. (Howard Balzer)

Seahawks

Seahawks S Quandre Diggs wrote on Twitter that he doesn’t understand how HC Pete Carroll wasn’t a finalist for NFL Coach of the Year.

“Man I don’t understand how Pete isn’t a finalist!” Diggs wrote. “Not a top 5 coaching job with a team everybody expected to be sorry? Y’all killed me last year when I said “Pete told me we’re not rebuilding we’re trying to win now!” once I re-signed!”
