Did LA feel that comfortable about Stetson Bennett as a long-term developmntal prospect? Or was trading Stafford mid-season really on the table had the season fallen apart, which it basically did before the bye?</p><p>While it’s hard to really say, Garappolo is on the team now, and he’s seemingly done a good job in his role as QB2, even if he hasn’t actually done much in-game for the 6-6 Rams through 13 weeks of action.</p><p>Asked about Garoppolo’s present and potentially his future in LA on Monday, McVay noted that he’s enjoyed his time working with the veteran quarterback, and would enjoy more of it <a href="https://rams.1rmg.com/quotes/rams-transcripts-monday-december-2-mcvay/" rel="noopener">if it makes sense for both parties</a>.</p><p>“I love Jimmy. I love being around him. I love what I’ve seen from him. You guys have heard me talk about the opportunities that he’s had in these practice settings to show his stuff. I’ve been a fan of Jimmy’s for a long time, whether it’s competing against him, watching him from afar, and then you get to know him a little bit better,” McVay told reporters.</p><p>“As far as those types of things… like you said, we’re in the moment. I love working with Jimmy. I’m grateful to be here with him right now, and obviously, we love Matthew doing his thing and leading our team. I’m focused on this team and doing as good a job as I can one day at a time. Would you like to continue to work with him? Yeah, of course. I definitely would say that. I’m enjoying working with him right now, maximizing those opportunities, and then we’ll have a little bit of clarity as we get through this. We’re going to take it a day at a time, try to be the best we can for this week and our week of preparation for the Buffalo Bills.”</p><p>Would it make sense for Garoppolo to return to the Rams in 2025? If they like what he brings to the table, sure, why not? But if the New England draftee instead wants to test the open waters elsewhere, McVay gets that too, as he believes the Rams have set him up to succeed regardless of where he plays next.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jimmy-Garoppolo-playing-QB-for-the-Rams.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Jimmy Garoppolo could join a long line of Rams QB success stories</b></h2><p>Discussing Garoppolo’s fit outside of LA should he leave in March, McVay noted that the Rams have done a good job in setting him up for success, as learning from Dave Ragone and Stafford can only lead to positive results.</p><p>“I think you can just maximize the ‘ops’ that you’re given to continue to sharpen your skills, to be able to look at what a great player like Matthew does. How does he go about the weekly rhythm and his preparation? Jimmy has played at a high level in this league for a long time. He has his rhythm and routine,” McVay told reporters.</p><p>“I think [Quarterbacks Coach] Dave Ragone does a great job of being able to get both Jimmy and Stetson [Bennett] up to speed on what we’re trying to do because Matthew takes all those reps. I’ve been really impressed with just the consistency at which Jimmy comes into the building, the way that he interacts and acts, responds to his teammates in those types of interactions, the way he elevates people around him, and the way that he’s able to communicate with the coaches. He’s really been a joy to be around.”</p><p>Could Stafford be the next Baker Mayfield? Or the next Carson Wentz? While it’s hard to say either way, his status as a McVay endorsee will surely lead to some opportunity in the future, be that in LA or elsewhere.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, it looks like the veteran QB is playing a part in the development of the team’s defense. This was discussed in detail by head coach Sean McVay, who opened up about Garoppolo’s <a href="https://rams.1rmg.com/quotes/rams-transcripts-friday-november-22-mcvay/" rel="noopener">role with the scout team</a> on Friday.</p><p>“I just think it’s the ability for him (Garoppolo) to be able to activate the parts of the field and make quick decisions,” McVay said, per Rams Media Center. “He has such a command too. Sometimes you get some of these younger quarterbacks and they’re not quite as comfortable taking command of the huddle. Even if you just hear the way that he communicates with the guys around him, you can’t help but get better because our defense is seeing a look that’s very much reflective of high-level starting caliber quarterback play with the things that he can do.”</p><p>“He has a great way about himself. He has definitely made them better by the way that he handles himself on the field, the looks that he’s able to present them, in terms of just mimicking and imitating the opposing team’s quarterback, and then I think he’s also made the players that he’s around better (by) the way he communicates to them. I don’t think it’s by mistake that when you talk to teammates of his at other stops he’s been at, he’s very well regarded and they want to play hard for him,” McVay added.</p><h2><b>Sean McVay and the Rams face a tough test in Week 12</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sean-McVay-celebrates-an-interception-by-Jaylen-McCollough.jpg"><figcaption>© Alex Gallardo-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>For more context, scout teams are basically players from the practice squad who emulate the style of play of a team’s opponents. In this case, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/los-angeles-rams-bold-predictions-for-week-12-sunday-night-football-vs-eagles">Rams are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Eagles</a> in Week 12, so Garoppolo and the offensive scout team have most likely been mimicking Philly’s run-heavy game. It may not be a picture-perfect simulation, but it allows the Rams defense to have an idea of what they’ll be up against on Sunday.</p><p>And for what it’s worth, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-sean-mcvay-celebrates-ascending-rookie-defenders-ahead-week-12-snf">McVay and his squad</a> do need a good amount of preparation since the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-sean-mcvay-reveals-challenge-slowing-down-tush-push">Eagles currently boast the league’s top rushing offense</a>. Nevertheless, the Rams have been a resurging team as of late. They’ve won four out of their last five games and now hold a .500 record. There’s still room for improvement defensively, but the Rams have shown flashes of upside, like how they limited the Miami Dolphins — the 11th-best team on the ground — to just 67 rushing yards on 3.0 yards per carry. The Eagles are a whole different beast, of course, but with how things have gone these past few weeks, the Rams will definitely compete.</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>

After asking to be moved to the Las Vegas Raiders, the star wide receiver has been visibly frustrated. That was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raiders-news-josh-jacobs-agrees-davante-adams-comments">apparent last season</a>, whether it was through his interviews or his actions on the field. Recently, though, a never-before-seen snippet from last season seemed to showcase just how frustrated Adams was last season.</p><p>The release of “Receivers” resulted in some pretty interesting moments that went viral on social media. One of the most viral moments was a clip of Davante Adams during one of the Raiders’ games last season. Adams <a href="https://x.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1811887471329968277" rel="noopener">expressed his frustration</a> after getting hit multiple times during their game.

While Garoppolo is a passable quarterback, he tends to put his receivers in trouble with his passes. 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.

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.

And having been on the opposite sideline during those games from Garoppolo, McVay <a href="https://twitter.com/BenVolin/status/1772593851254894998">wasn’t having much</a> fun.</p><p>“He’s a guy who’s been kicking our ass for years,” McVay said, via the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Sean McVay on signing Jimmy G: “He’s a guy who’s been kicking our ass for years.” <a href="https://t.co/yMQ2PhKLIO">pic.twitter.com/yMQ2PhKLIO</a></p><p>— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) <a href="https://twitter.com/BenVolin/status/1772593851254894998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In his career, Garoppolo has an 8-0 regular-season record against the Rams, making him one of the most successful quarterbacks in the league against McVay’s team. In those games, Garoppolo threw for 2,023 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. The Rams bested Garoppolo-led 49ers only once, defeating their division rival 20-17 in the 2021 playoffs en route to the Super Bowl.</p><p>Garoppolo, 32, is expected to be Matthew Stafford’s backup in Los Angeles. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-gets-painfully-honest-on-nfl-suspension">Garoppolo will be forced</a> to miss the first two games of the 2024 season due to suspension after he violated the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. The veteran QB said he “just messed up the TUE (therapeutic use exemption)” when he arrived in Las Vegas after signing with the Raiders in the 2023 offseason.</p><p>Since leading the 49ers to Super Bowl LIV, which San Francisco lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Garoppolo has struggled to find the same consistency he once had. The season after the Super Bowl appearance, Garoppolo suffered from a recurring ankle sprain that kept him out of most of the season. In 2021, he played 15 regular-season games and led the Niners back to the NFC Championship, but for the first and only time of his career, Garoppolo lost to the Rams.</p><p>Trey Lance began the 2022 season as the 49ers’ starter over Garoppolo, but after Lance broke his ankle, ‘Jimmy G’ took over the starting spot once again until he suffered a season-ending foot injury and Brock Purdy rose up to become the Niners’ new franchise quarterback.</p><p>In the following offseason, Garoppolo signed a three-year, $72.8 million ($45 million guaranteed) contract with the Raiders. His stint in Vegas was poor and brief; after throwing the most interceptions in the league to that point and going 3-3 in his starts, Garoppolo was benched and replaced by rookie Aidan O’Connell. On March 13, four days shy of the one-year mark of signing Garoppolo, the Raiders released him.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Coach McVay is the real deal. 🤝</p><p>🎙️ Jimmy Garoppolo is excited to get to work with our head coach. <a href="https://t.co/rorV5UQ8lH">pic.twitter.com/rorV5UQ8lH</a></p><p>— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/RamsNFL/status/1770208667595604254?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 19, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Garoppolo now joins the Rams and McVay on a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-contract-details-emerge">“complicated” one-year, $4.5 million deal.</a> He is currently joined in the quarterback room by Stafford, 2023 fourth-round pick Stetson Bennett, and practice squad player Dresser Winn.

However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/how-jimmy-garoppolos-suspension-surprisingly-impacts-las-vegas">Garoppolo was suspended</a> two games to begin the season due to a PED violation. Because of that, the guaranteed money in his contract was wiped out.</p><p>For the QB to earn half of his 2024 salary, he will need to max out his incentives. Playing behind Stafford, that seems unlikely barring injury. However, playing Garoppolo a $4.5 million base salary shows how much the Rams value him as a backup.</p><h2><b>Jimmy G’s journey to the Rams</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Jimmy_Garoppolo.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>After a six-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers, Garoppolo signed a three-year, $72.75 million contract with the Raiders. He was expected to fill the void left at quarterback by Derek Carr.</p><p>However, that plan quickly turned on its head as Garoppolo was benched for fourth-round rookie Aidan O’Connell midway through the season. Garoppolo went 3-3 as a starter, throwing for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.</p><p>When it was announced that he had been suspended for two games, the Raiders quickly decided to release the veteran. It didn’t take long for him to latch on with the Rams.</p><p>Despite his struggles in Vegas, Garoppolo had been an impressive game manager for most of his time with the 49ers. He went 38-17 as a starter in San Francisco. Over his entire NFL career, Garoppolo has thrown for 15,494 yards, 94 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. He won two Super Bowls with the New England Patriots earlier in his career.</p><p>Starting the 2024 campaign with a suspension will leave a mark on Jimmy Garoppolo’s resume. However, the Rams still believe he can be a confident backup. After those two games are over the veteran will slot into the QB2 role and be ready whenever his name is called. Millions of dollars are at stake if it is.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the 49ers, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-rams-still-linked-zach-wilson-trade-jimmy-garoppolo-signing">Garoppolo was in the</a> same <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-gets-painfully-honest-on-nfl-suspension-messed-up-the-t-u-e-rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-gets-painfully-honest-on-nfl-suspension-just-messed-up-the-t-u-e">division as the Rams</a>, so he went up against them often. He is very familiar with the team.</p><p>Going to another team in the same division is always big, even if there was a season in between where Jimmy Garoppolo wasn’t in the NFC West. Now, Garoppolo is with the Rams, and he will play against his former team twice a year. Los Angeles had what Garoppolo was looking for.</p><p>“I’ve <a href="https://twitter.com/RamsNFL/status/1770207496365564110?s=20">been going against them</a> for so many years, I knew how good this defense was, the offense can put up points, it was a good situation,” Garoppolo said in a video posted by the Rams. “That was a big part of my decision. I just wanted to find a good situation, good people around, and I think I found it here.”</p><p>This past season with the Raiders, Garoppolo finished the season 110-169 through the air in seven games. He threw for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. He is obviously no longer in his prime as he is now 32 years old, but he is still a good player to have at the quarterback position for depth.</p><p>The Rams are hoping to continue their upward trend next year as they were back in the playoffs this past season after a disappointing campaign the year prior. Los Angeles won a Super Bowl just a few seasons ago, and they are hoping to get back to the mountaintop soon. They fell in the first round against the Detroit Lions on the road this past season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, that doesn’t necessarily <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-jimmy-garoppolo-inks-1-year-contract-with-la" rel="noopener">take the Rams out</a> of Zach Wilson trade sweepstakes.</p><p>With Wilson’s time with the New York Jets coming to an inevitable end, the team has been trying to find a trade suitor. With Garoppolo now in Los Angeles, the Rams have <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/03/18/takeaways-aaron-donald-rams-fields-bears-steelers" rel="noopener">become even more</a> of a logical destination, via Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-rams-viewed-as-intriguing-zach-wilson-trade-destinations" rel="noopener">Wilson would be able to</a> sit for an entire year while learning from the two veteran quarterbacks.</p><p>Los Angeles also employs Mike LaFleur as their offensive coordinator. Holding the same role with the Jets, Wilson has experience playing under him. While he wouldn’t see the field barring injuries, the Rams would give the quarterback time to rebuild his image under a scheme he is comfortable in.</p><p>Zach Wilson never lived up to his No. 2 overall selection billing. In 34 games, the quarterback threw for 6,293 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. He went just 12-21 as a starter.</p><p>But Wilson was thrown into the fire during his tenure with the Jets. Perhaps the pressure of playing in New York got to him. The lights would be just as bright in Los Angeles, but at least to start his tenure, Wilson would be given a much longer leash.</p><p>Stafford will be the Rams’ quarterback for the foreseeable future. Garoppolo will slot into QB2 after his two-game suspension. Wilson would have no expectations of coming in and winning games. Instead he can focus on improving and being prepared if another starting quarterback opportunity comes to him at the NFL level.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s now going to serve as Stafford’s backup in LA, where he can also serve as some sort of insurance in case Stafford struggles with injuries as well.</p><p>Garoppolo does seem to be a good fit for the Rams, especially since he is really familiar with the NFC West. After all, he spent six seasons in the division while playing for the San Francisco 49ers from 2017 to 2022. He has a 14-7 regular season record against NFC West teams and is actually 8-0 against Los Angeles.</p><h2><b>Not All Rams Fans Are Happy With Jimmy Garoppolo Move</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Jimmy-Garoppolo-throwing-football.webp"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Despite the seemingly great fit, however, Rams fans had mixed reactions to Garoppolo’s signing. <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1768745523740090543" rel="noopener">Not everyone is convinced</a> he’s the right backup for the team, though some did express their excitement about Garoppolo joining the LA franchise.</p><p>“Nice landing spot for Jimmy G … Great coach and QB1, well run team … Congrats, Jimmy!!” a fan wrote on Mike Garafolo’s post on X.</p><p>“Honestly love the move. Need a quality backup. Hopefully we don’t need him, but after living thru [Brett] Rypien and a few others, not mad at all,” another one shared.</p><p>A third supporter added, [Jimmy Garoppolo] is good option. If their QB gets hurt, they got Jimmy ready to go.”</p><p>As mentioned, not everyone is a fan of the move. Members of other fanbases couldn’t even help but celebrate that they didn’t end up with the veteran quarterback.</p><p>“Might as well have no backup QB lol,” a critic wrote, while another one said, “He’s mid.”</p><p>“Thank God, afraid the Steelers were going to sign him,” a Pittsburgh fan added.</p><p>“I swear I’m two seconds away from driving off a bridge,” a frustrated supporter added.</p><p>Considering Garoppolo’s injury history, however, it’s not a surprise why fans are concerned about the signing. After all, Garoppolo might end up not being an impactful player at all.

The Los Angeles Rams <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-los-angeles-reworks-offensive-lineman-contract-cap-space" rel="noopener">join the party</a> on Friday after agreeing to a contract with Jimmy Garoppolo.</p><p>Reports indicate it’s <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1768745523740090543" rel="noopener">a one-year deal</a> for the veteran quarterback, according to Mike Garafolo and Peter Schrager of NFL Network. The Rams officially have a backup option for Matthew Stafford.</p><p>“The Rams have agreed to terms with QB Jimmy Garoppolo on a one-year deal. Following a year with the Raiders, Garoppolo is set to join Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay in L.A.”</p><p>Jimmy Garoppolo was originally the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders. However, everything fell apart and Garoppolo found himself available in free agency. He finished last season with 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Not the best numbers, but he has the potential to be a high-quality backup for the Rams.</p><p>Los Angeles essentially acquires someone who can get the job done in case Matthew Stafford falls to injury. Stafford’s missed 10 games in the last to seasons due to injury. But to be fair, eight of those came in the 2022 season. The veteran quarterback had a solid campaign in 2023, recording 3,965 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.</p><p>Regardless, the Rams are preparing for a worst case scenario as they aim to rebuild the roster. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-aaron-donald-retirement-sparks-reactions-pat-mcafee-kyler-murray-others" rel="noopener">Losing Aaron Donald</a> is a huge blow. But with multiple draft picks available, Los Angeles has a chance find a plethora of young talent. But for now, it seems the quarterback situation is locked down.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
