Los Angeles went on a deep playoff run, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/rams-most-to-blame-for-divisional-round-loss-to-eagles">coming painfully close to making an NFC Championship game appearance</a>. Now the Rams are reloaded and ready to make another playoff push during the 2025 season this fall.</p><p>The Rams were the talk of the NFL earlier in the offseason. Los Angeles <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/sources-rams-float-matthew-stafford-trade-offer-top-10-pick">briefly flirted with the idea of trading QB Matthew Stafford</a>. Eventually, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/rams-news-matthew-stafford-end-trade-speculation-agree-restructured-contract">the two sides agreed on a new contract</a>.</p><p>Several NFL executives were <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6244284/2025/04/03/nfl-free-agency-2025-nfc-execs-best-worst/" rel="noopener">interested to see what happened behind the scenes</a> with Stafford’s situation.</p><p>“I would love to know how the conversation with Stafford went and whether he felt jilted or appreciated by it,” an exec said. “They were able to give him the opportunity to see if the grass was greener without ever losing him. They could stand on that, and that is a really powerful thing for a team, especially if they felt good about their offer.”</p><p>One NFL executive believes that the Rams are secretly okay having Jimmy Garoppolo as their starting quarterback.</p><p>“I think secretly they have faith in Jimmy Garoppolo,” a third exec said. “You don’t mess around with your starting quarterback unless you are confident in the other guy.”</p><p>The executive is right that NFL teams do not play fast and loose with quarterbacks, especially franchise guys like Stafford. That said, the Rams are at a bit of a crossroads as a franchise. It may have made sense to move Stafford if the Rams were okay pivoting to a new strategy for one season.</p><h2><b>Rams QB Matthew Stafford excited about Davante Adams addition</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Matthew-Stafford_6a322d.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J.

While his time with the New York Jets didn’t have a happy ending, that was a tumultuous season by itself.</p><p>The Jets had the second-worst AFC East record and missed the playoffs entirely. Despite <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdamDa01.htm" rel="noopener">eclipsing 1,000 yards once again</a>, it was a shaky season for his standards.</p><p>Now, he’ll head back to the West Coast and be able to thrive in a fast-paced offensive scheme. Playing with Derek Carr on the Raiders was a huge advantage.</p><p>While the two had chemistry, he also worked with Garoppolo. He can tell Stafford about Adams’s tendencies when cutting on a route, certain angles he will take, and other features.</p><p>Even though some thought that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-return-davante-adams-signing-awkward">Adams signing would make the Rams awkward</a>, Garoppolo is a pro. He understands that the game is bigger than any friction they might have.</p><p>Once again, it was a frustrating time with the Raiders as well. That was the season that the team moved on from Carr. Now, there might be some more consistency in the City of Angels.</p><p>As the season approaches sooner than some might think, the chemistry between Adams and Stafford could put the league on notice. The NFC West is wide open, and the Rams could secure that title once again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He graduated from the University of Oregon in 2016 with a film degree but has since dedicated his career to sports writing.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Los Angeles Rams</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Los Angeles Rams have made a flurry of moves early in the offseason. One of the biggest acquisitions so far was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/rams-news-davante-adams-agent-truth-bomb-decision-sign-la">signing veteran wide receiver Davante Adams</a> to a two-year $44 million contract after informing Cooper Kupp they plan to trade him. L.A. made another move on Monday to maintain the backup quarterback position by re-signing Jimmy Garoppolo.</p><p>Garoppolo, who played one game for the Rams last season, <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1899140087360970920" rel="noopener">will remain in Los Angeles</a>, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. The contract is worth $11 million. That’s roughly an $8 million increase for the 33-year-old quarterback from the contract he signed last offseason.</p><p>“The Rams are bringing back QB Jimmy Garoppolo, per Mike Garafolo. He gets a one-year deal.”</p><p>Los Angeles has its quarterback situation set for now, with speculation that the team may still be interested in adding a young quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, with Garoppolo back with the Rams, things could be a little awkward for him and Adams.</p><p>The two played alongside one another for the Las Vegas Raiders. During that time, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-davante-adams-nsfw-rant-netflix-show">Davante Adams admitted that he “signed off”</a> on the Raiders’ benching of Garoppolo in favor of then-rookie Aidan O’Connell. The 32-year-old wideout also reportedly complained about Garoppolo’s accuracy and that he simply wanted the best option possible under center.</p><p>Adams explained in further detail his frustrations about Garoppolo on the Netflix series “Wide Receiver.” The quarterback problems in Las Vegas played a key role that led the veteran wide receiver to demand a trade and be sent to the New York Jets to reunite with Aaron Rodgers early in the 2024 season.</p><p>Skip ahead to the 2025 offseason, and Adams and Garoppolo are teammates once again. Only this time, the veteran quarterback is the backup. Adams will have Stafford throwing him the ball after the Rams restructured Stafford’s contract to keep him on the roster.</p><p>Cooler heads will likely prevail, as head coach Sean McVay has a firm grasp on his team. The Rams hope for Adams to fill in Kupp’s role smoothly. Adams finished the 2024 campaign with 85 receptions, 1,063 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns through 14 games played.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Garoppolo is a veteran quarterback that just finished his 11th season in the NFL and is currently a free agent.</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. Recently, he’s been used as a veteran backup. Here is a look into Jimmy Garoppolo’s net worth in 2025.</p><h2><b>What is Jimmy Garoppolo’s net worth in 2025?: $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>Jimmy Garoppolo’s net worth in 2025 <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/jimmy-garoppolo-net-worth/" rel="noopener">is $55 million</a>. 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. The signing reunited Garoppolo with head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/josh-mcdaniel-net-worth#:~:text=Josh%20McDaniels'%20net%20worth%20in%202023%20is%20%246%20million.,for%20the%20Las%20Vegas%20Raiders." rel="noopener">Josh McDaniels</a>, who coached him in New England.</p><p>After struggling six games with nine interceptions to just seven touchdown passes, Garoppolo injured his back in a win over the Patriots. 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. He only played the final game of the season when the Rams rested their starters before the playoffs.</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.
