Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi dive into the offseason quarterback carousel and look ahead to the start of free agency as rumors begin to fly.

(3:25) The guys start by reacting to the news that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is set to have surgery on his torn UCL on Friday, March 10th. What does this date mean in terms of his availability for the 2023 regular season? And what happens if Purdy and the 49ers get bad news on Friday -- that Purdy needs Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire season?

(13:42) Plus, a couple of high-priced quarterbacks are already off the market: Derek Carr has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Saints and Geno Smith will return to the Seattle Seahawks. Both are set to make $35 million or more per year. What do these deals mean for Jimmy Garoppolo and the rest of the quarterback market at the 49ers try to find the final piece of two of their quarterback room?

(29:38) Also, free agency rumors are starting to fly, including about 49ers kicker Robbie Gould, who says he plans to be kicking elsewhere in 2023. Is Gould telling the truth, or is this just a negotiation tactic? Plus, the window to use the franchise tag is nearing a close -- will the 49ers utilize it this season?
