Garoppolo's departure follows a turbulent year for the former New England Patriots backup.&nbsp;

After agreeing to a one-year contract in the offseason, Garoppolo stepped in for starter Trey Lance after he went down with the ankle injury early on in the season. But during the 49ers' 33-17 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, he suffered his own season-ending injury, handing the baton to rookie Brock Purdy.&nbsp;

He will reunite with Josh McDaniels, who served as his offensive coordinator while the two were with the New England Patriots.
