Head coach Sean McVay wanted to see if Bennett was up for the challenge, and his play has helped his <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcvay-confirms-stetson-bennett-will-be-rams-qb2-during-jimmy-garoppolo-suspension" rel="noopener">case for being the QB2</a>.

I think he’s done really well in some of the practice settings. And when you do look at it, you’re obviously very fortunate to have Jimmy that will be coming back on Week 3, but he’s done enough that we feel good about him for those first couple weeks.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-inks-1-year-contract-with-la">Garoppolo was signed to be the backup</a> to Stafford but will miss the first two weeks of the regular season due to a suspension under the PED policy.

After that game, Sean McVay told the media he still <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcvay-needs-to-see-more-body-of-work-before-entrusting-no-2-job-to-stetson-bennett-in-weeks-1-and-2" rel="noopener">wanted to see more</a> from Bennett before naming him the QB2.</p><p>“I think we still have to be able to see some more body of work,” McVay said.  “What I did like was what I mentioned to you . . . to be able to stay together. That’s a tough deal when you have the ball [and] when you turn it over a handful of times. It was [a tough situation]. He kind of mentioned it in the postgame [interviews] to you guys where he thought he was seeing some things and then the mistakes ended up being pretty costly but he just kept playing. He kept fighting. The guys kept believing around him. I was really impressed with the resilience that he demonstrated.”</p><p>In the second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Bennett had a much better showing, throwing for 213 yards with one touchdown and an interception.</p><p>It’s clear that Bennett has improved through the preseason, and he earned the right to be the backup quarterback while Jimmy Garoppolo is out.</p><p>The Rams are hoping that Matthew Stafford stays healthy, even with a few injuries that he’s been dealing with during training camp, but he should be ready when their season starts against the Detroit Lions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And Garoppolo recently tossed a little shade at the Raiders and 49ers with an eye-opening admission.</p><p>Garoppolo said playing with the Rams is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5691607/2024/08/12/jimmy-garoppolo-los-angeles-rams-quarterback-preseason/" rel="noopener">a refreshing change</a> from other teams, according to nytimes.com.</p><p>“This place allows you to be yourself, too, which is different than other places I’ve been,” Garoppolo said. “You’re getting pressed with a sense of urgency but in a good way. Obviously, everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to perform well. They do it in the right way here. They push you positively. There’s just a lot of good things going on, man. I’m enjoying every bit of it. Even the meetings are a good time. Everything is going good right now.”</p><h2><b>Rams QB Garoppolo in good situation</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Los-Angeles-Rams-QB-Jimmy-Garoppolo.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>A 10-year veteran, Garoppolo has lived an up-and-down life in the NFL. From the highs of a 13-3 season in 2019 with the 49ers to the lows of injuries and being on his third team in three seasons, Garoppolo has seen a lot.</p><p>Now he’s in a backup role with a team primed to make a strong run at the playoffs with hopes of making noise if it gets there. And Garoppolo is the Rams’ insurance policy for Matthew Stafford.</p><p>Garoppolo said he’s learned a from the chaos he’s seen in his career. Among the things he’s seen include being drafted to possibly replace Tom Brady in 2014, a torn ACL in 2018, a Super Bowl appearance in 2019, and eventually leaving the 49ers after his injury opened the door for Brock Purdy to become a standout starter.</p><p>“That’s one thing I’ve taken from this,” he said. “The NFL is crazy, man. Everyone has got a story. Everyone is going whichever way trying to make it. But at the end of the day, it’s your story, and you’ve got to make the best of it. Good, bad, or indifferent, whatever happened in the past, it happened. … Now I’m here, and I’m just trying to make every day the best day.”</p><p>Last year, Garoppolo started six games with a record of 3-3 before getting benched after the Raiders’ coaching change to Antonio Pierce. His seven touchdown passes compared to nine interceptions marked the worst ratio of his career.</p><p>Garoppolo’s career record as a starting quaterback still shines. He’s 43-20, but only has three seasons with double-digit starting assignments. The only losing record in his career came in 2018, when he finished 1-2 because of the ACL injury.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Dubbed “hospital balls”, Jimmy G often threw passes that immediately led to his receivers getting hit. Adams was expressing his frustration about routinely getting these types of passes.</p><p>Adjusting from an accurate quarterback like Aaron Rodgers to Garoppolo’s haphazard passes was something that Adams struggled to do. Adams still put up great numbers for the Raiders last season (1,100+ yards and eight touchdowns), but they were nowhere near the performance that he was giving in Green Bay, or even in his first year with Derek Carr.</p><h2><b>Adams’ tenuous relationship with Raiders</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Raiders-Davante-Adams-1.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Davante Adams certainly didn’t envision playing in this scenario right now. While his main motivation for joining the Raiders was the paycheck, playing with old college teammate Derek Carr was a nice bonus. Adams was certainly looking forward to playing with Carr again, and they did put up solid numbers (albeit not translating to wins).</p><p>However, Josh McDaniels was seemingly never a fan of Carr. In his pursuit of improving the offense, the then-Raiders head coach shipped Carr off to the New Orleans Saints in a rather messy divorce. McDaniels then installed Garoppolo (a former player of his in New England) to run his offense. The results were less than ideal: Garoppolo struggled in his role and got injured multiple times.</p><p>The “Receivers” documentary also revealed that Adams approved of the idea of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raiders-news-davante-adams-speaks-out-on-rookie-qb-starting-over-benched-jimmy-garoppolo">benching Garoppolo mid-season</a> for Aidan O’Connell. It seems like the Raiders wide receiver was also not happy with how his quarterback was playing. O’Connell was never a star, and he certainly had some low moments, but he was somewhat of an improvement over Garoppolo (especially after McDaniels was fired by the Raiders).</p><p>This upcoming season will likely entail some more frustration for Adams. In a rather perplexing move, the Raiders did not select a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft (though they did attempt to trade up). This year is shaping up to be a rebuilding year for Las Vegas. Can Adams stomach another season of potentially missing the playoffs?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Earlier this offseason, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-raiders-on-verge-of-final-jimmy-garoppolo-decision">Raiders decided to cut</a> quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, designating the cut to take effect post-June 1. This strategic decision, while requiring months of patience, has now paid off as the team will receive a substantial $24 million <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/news/las-vegas-raiders-cap-space-jimmy-garoppolo-books/fc1ec057879617dfdb478d27" rel="noopener">infusion of cap space</a>, per The Sporting News’ Mike Moraitis.</p><p>According to Spotrac, the post-June 1 designation allowed the Raiders to spread out Garoppolo’s dead-cap hit over multiple years, easing the financial burden. Specifically, the Raiders will carry a $4.26 million dead-cap hit in 2024 and a $12.8 million hit in 2025. This arrangement significantly alleviates their immediate financial load, giving them ample room to maneuver under the salary cap.</p><p>Garoppolo’s short tenure with the Raiders ended abruptly and somewhat unexpectedly. The quarterback’s suspension for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) last season voided an $11.25 million salary guarantee, turning out to be an unforeseen <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/how-jimmy-garoppolos-suspension-surprisingly-impacts-las-vegas">financial boon for the Raiders</a>. This suspension acted as a late Christmas gift for the team, providing an unanticipated opportunity to restructure their finances.</p><p>With Garoppolo’s $24 million salary off the books, the Raiders find themselves in a strong financial position. Per Over the Cap, the Raiders now boast $34 million in effective cap space, ranking them sixth in the league in terms of available funds. This windfall provides Las Vegas with significant flexibility to address key roster needs and potentially make impactful signings or extensions.</p><p>The Raiders’ newfound cap space offers them a strategic advantage as they prepare for the upcoming season. Cornerback is one position that stands out as an area in need of reinforcement. The Raiders have struggled with consistency in their secondary, and adding a high-caliber cornerback could bolster their defense significantly.</p><p>Additionally, the Raiders might look to secure the futures of key players through contract extensions. Star edge rusher Maxx Crosby recently received a raise, reflecting the team’s commitment to retaining their top talent. Extensions for other pivotal players, while not immediately impacting this year’s cap space, could help ensure long-term stability and success.</p><p>General Manager Dave Ziegler and Head Coach Josh McDaniels now have the financial flexibility to shape the roster according to their vision. Whether it involves acquiring new talent, securing existing players, or a combination of both, the Raiders are in a prime position to make strategic moves that could enhance their competitiveness.</p><h2>Jimmy Garoppolo’s prospects with the Los Angeles Rams</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/garoppolo-on-Rams.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Following his release from the Raiders, Jimmy Garoppolo found a new home with the Los Angeles Rams. Garoppolo signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract with the LA franchise, where he will serve as the backup to veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. This move marks a new chapter in Garoppolo’s career, providing him with an opportunity to contribute to a team with playoff aspirations.</p><p>Garoppolo’s experience and skill set make him a valuable asset for the Rams. He has demonstrated the ability to perform at a high level, leading the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance and multiple playoff runs. As a seasoned quarterback, Garoppolo offers the Rams a reliable option behind Stafford, who has had his share of injuries in recent years.</p><p>In Los Angeles, Garoppolo will reunite with Rams Head Coach Sean McVay, known for his innovative offensive schemes. McVay’s system could play to Garoppolo’s strengths, particularly his quick release and accuracy on short to intermediate throws. Learning under McVay and working alongside Stafford could also provide Garoppolo with a valuable opportunity to refine his game and prepare for potential future starting roles.</p><p>Garoppolo’s departure and the resulting financial flexibility significantly impact the Raiders and the broader NFL landscape. For the Raiders, shedding Garoppolo’s contract allows them to reallocate resources towards addressing pressing needs and strengthening their roster. The cap space provides a cushion that could prove crucial in a highly competitive AFC West, where they face formidable opponents like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers.</p><p>The infusion of cap space also positions the Raiders as potential players in the free-agent market. With a robust financial foundation, they can pursue top-tier talent that might become available as teams finalize their rosters ahead of the season. This proactive approach could help the Raiders close the gap with division rivals and improve their chances of a successful campaign.</p><p>For Garoppolo, joining the Rams offers a fresh start and the potential to contribute to a team with high expectations. While Stafford remains the starter, Garoppolo’s presence provides valuable insurance and depth at the quarterback position. His familiarity with high-pressure situations and playoff experience could prove invaluable as the Rams aim to return to the postseason.</p><p>Garoppolo’s move to the Los Angeles Rams represents a new chapter in his career. As a backup to Matthew Stafford, he has the opportunity to contribute to a team with playoff aspirations and work under an innovative offensive mind in Sean McVay. For both the Raiders and Garoppolo, this offseason has been a period of significant change, setting the stage for an intriguing NFL season ahead.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Garoppolo is a veteran quarterback that just finished his 10th season in the NFL.</p><p>After spending three years as the backup of Tom Brady, Garoppolo became the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, reaching the Super Bowl in the 2019 season. In 2023, the Las Vegas Raiders brought Garoppolo in as their starter, but he recently signed with the Los Angeles Rams. Let’s dig into Jimmy Garoppolo’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>What is Jimmy Garoppolo’s net worth in 2024?: $55 million (estimate)<br></b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Jimmy-Garopplos-net-worth-in-2024-2.jpg"></figure><p><a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/jimmy-garoppolo-net-worth/" rel="noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo’s net worth</a> in 2024 is $55 million. This is according to numerous outlets, including Celebrity Net Worth.</p><p>Garoppolo was born in Arlington Heights, Ill., in 1991. He played high school football and baseball in Rolling Meadows, Ill., and almost became a professional baseball pitcher. Fortunately, he chose to pursue football at the next level after his successful stint as quarterback for his high school. He did not get much attention from elite colleges, so he attended Eastern Illinois.</p><p>Garoppolo spent four years at this relatively small college and played well there. He won numerous awards, especially during his last couple of seasons in college. He broke the record for career pass completions, previously held by Tony Romo.</p><h2>Jimmy Garoppolo is drafted by the Patriots</h2><p>Upon entering the 2014 NFL Draft, he was not rated as a star quarterback prospect. Thus, Garoppolo fell to the 62nd pick and went right into the hands of the New England Patriots.</p><p>The Patriots had Tom Brady but needed a backup and a potential replacement. In his first season, Jimmy G featured in six games. All six appearances were due to huge leads held by the Patriots, which made coach Bill Belichick rest Brady. Notably, Garoppolo linked with Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first drive.</p><p>Garoppolo won a Super Bowl in his rookie season. The Patriots played the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl and won by four points. Garoppolo was, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2015/01/31/backup-quarterbacks-super-bowl-garropolo-jackson/22650541/">according to USA TODAY Sports</a>, credited with helping the defense prepare for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.</p><p>Garoppolo’s next season was not as notable, but in his third season with the Patriots, he did get a limited opportunity. Due to Deflategate, the scandal in which Tom Brady was included, Garoppolo was made a starter for a few games.</p><p>He played well in the first two, but a shoulder injury at the end of the second game sidelined him for the next two games. As he came back, so did Brady, and that was, more or less, the end of his Patriots stint. He did win one more ring that season but did not play in the playoffs.</p><h2>Jimmy Garoppolo is traded to the 49ers</h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">BREAKING: Patriots trade QB Jimmy Garoppolo to 49ers for a 2018 second-round draft pick<a href="https://t.co/LDh9b2DbhY">https://t.co/LDh9b2DbhY</a> <a href="https://t.co/vaSsCAdkcy">pic.twitter.com/vaSsCAdkcy</a></p><p>— Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/AroundTheNFL/status/925156636527755264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 31, 2017</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>During the 2017 season, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers. His best success with the 49ers came during the 2019 run to the Super Bowl, where the squad ultimately fell to the Kansas City Chiefs. Garoppolo became a starter almost right away before he solidified his place in that 2019 season.</p><p>He signed a five-year extension with the 49ers in February 2019, worth around $137.5 million. Unfortunately for him, his 2020 season was cut short to just six games, and the 49ers drafted young quarterback Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft to be the quarterback of the future.</p><h2>Jimmy Garoppolo signs with the Raiders</h2><p>On March 17, 2023, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-free-agency-news-jimmy-garoppolo-raiders-contract" rel="noopener">Las Vegas Raiders signed Garoppolo</a> to a three-year, $67.5 million contract.

However, when he was ready to return, interim head coach Antonio Pierce chose to keep young Aiden  O’Connell as the starter.</p><h2><b>Jimmy Garoppolo is suspended by the NFL</b></h2><p>In February 2024, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raiders-news-jimmy-garoppolo-suspended-nfl-performance-enhancing-substances-policy">Garoppolo was suspended</a> by the NFL for the first two games of the 2024 season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy. He allegedly used a prescribed medication without having a Therapeutic Use Exemption from the NFL.</p><p>Following the announcement of the suspension, the Raiders, who made Pierce their full-time head coach, released Garoppolo with two years left on his contract. In March 2024, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-inks-1-year-contract-with-la">Garoppolo signed a one-year contract</a> with the Rams to be the backup QB for Matthew Stafford.</p><h2>Jimmy Garoppolo endorsements</h2><p>Garoppolo’s endorsements include Nike, Jordan Brand, Bose, New Era, and Men’s Wearhouse. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1yOWarj7Fw" rel="noopener">He also wore Levi’s jeans</a> in a GQ spot in 2019.
