The Jimmy Garoppolo era is coming to a close in San Francisco.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that after meeting with Garoppolo and GM John Lynch Tuesday morning, they "have moved on to" Trey Lance, according to NFL.com.

The Niners took Lance with the third pick in last year's NFL Draft, trading up to get him. Lance got his fair share of snaps during the season, but it was Garoppolo who was under center for the 49ers in their playoff run last year.

That run included a stunning upset in Green Bay against the top-seeded Packers and Aaron Rodgers before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in L.A.

"Jimmy knows we're going with Trey," Shanahan added. "Trey knows we're going with Trey. The team knows we're going with Trey and everyone likes both of those guys. It is what it is."

It's essentially been a waiting game for Garoppolo since Lance was drafted by the team. However, the team said they never had any plans to get rid of him. Earlier this week, though, the 49ers granted Garoppolo's agents permission to seek a trade.
