Speculation of Tom Brady possibly ending up with the San Francisco 49ers this offseason has gained momentum.

“It’s either gonna be New England or Tennessee,” Curran said, “with the 49ers closing hard on the outside.”

Brady and the 49ers have mutual interest, which could lead to Jimmy Garoppolo being traded back to the Patriots.

“That would be the best-case scenario all the way around,” Curran said.

The long-term solution at quarterback for the 49ers becomes less certain if they acquire Brady with Kirk Cousins entering free agency in 2021. Cousins was the quarterback Kyle Shanahan though the 49ers would sign in 2018 until they traded for Garoppolo.
