| 8/27/25 | Rams rumors: Insider's Matthew Stafford injury update will leave fans weary. One NFL insider is already warning Los Angeles Rams fans that they could be watching Jimmy Garoppolo, not Matthew Stafford, start at quarterback this season. Although the Rams expect to have Stafford for Week 1, ESPN's Dan Graziano listed his 'Don't be surprised if…' for L.A. as Garoppolo having to step in for Stafford this year. “The Rams believe starting QB Matthew Stafford is on track to be healthy and start Week 1 after struggling throughout camp with a back injury that stubbornly refused to follow his or the team's recovery timetable,” Graziano wrote.

| 8/16/25 | Raiders Player Emerging as Favorite Fantasy Sleeper Pick. The Las Vegas Raiders have overhauled their offense ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Gone are the days of watching Jimmy Garoppolo and Aidan O'Connell sail passes out of the reach of Davante Adams. The team has embarked on a new era by hiring former Super Bowl champion Pete Carroll as head coach. While Las Vegas is looking to take significant steps forward on both sides of the ball, a lot of the focus will be on their attack, considering Carroll brought renowned play-caller Chip Kelly along with him as offensive coordinator.

| 8/11/25 | When does Kirk Cousins become an option for Rams?. Matthew Stafford’s back injury has not gone away yet and may linger for the entire season, if not ending in surgery, but when you scan NFL depth charts for quarterback help at the conclusion of training camp, no names will stand out as better options than Jimmy Garoppolo. No names except for one and Kirk […] Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/does-kirk-cousins... |
| 8/05/25 | Jimmy Garoppolo was Rams 'Plan C' this offseason amid Matthew Stafford uncertainty. When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a new contract during the offseason, it turned more than a few heads. At least at the time, the Rams were still being linked to Aaron Rodgers as a free agent and were widely expected to trade away Matthew Stafford if the two sides couldn't agree to a deal. Would the Rams have really rolled with the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback as their guy if Stafford left and Rodgers didn't work out? Well, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the answer is yes, as even if Jimmy G was the team's Plan C, they still considered him a true starting-caliber quarterback.

For a very brief time, when the 49ers gave him a nice contract, "Jimmy G" was the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Garoppolo hit free agency in 2023, and he signed a three-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. Source: https://justblogbaby.com/sean-mcvay-is-entering-jo... |
| 7/26/25 | Don't expect to see Rams stars in preseason games. The Los Angeles Rams are well underway at training camp, and preseason is quickly approaching. Head coach Sean McVay says to expect a "similar approach" to last season where Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo didn't play in the preseason. “Looking towards the preseason, expect us to take a similar approach in regard to Jimmy who will probably not play and that'll give Stetson a chance," McVay said via DaSilva. It's a cautious approach to avoid injuries to the starters in games that don't count, and also a chance for the Rams to see what they have in Stetson Bennett, as well as several other fringe-roster guys.

| 7/15/25 | Derek Carr wants to return to Las Vegas this season (but not as a player). The Las Vegas Raiders are entering their third consecutive season with a new starting quarterback. After failed experiments with Jimmy Garoppolo and Gardner Minshew, both of which resulted in being replaced by Aidan O'Connell, the team brought in Geno Smith this offseason to steady the ship. It was not long ago, however, that the Raiders had Derek Carr under center for nearly a decade. While his tenure was largely marked by mediocrity and falling short of expectations, he was dependable and absolutely loved playing for the Silver and Black.

| 6/18/25 | The 49ers Have the NFL's 12th-Best Running Back Unit per PFF. The 49ers are a running-back-driven team. They don't need a great quarterback to go to the Super Bowl -- they proved that with Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy. But, they do need a great running back. That's what Raheem Mostert was in 2019, and it's what Christian McCaffrey was in 2023. Now, McCaffrey is 29 -- he might not be great anymore. Which means the 49ers will need to use all of their running backs this year. And according to Pro Football Focus, the 49ers' running back unit ranks 12th out of 32 teams this year. "The 49ers are one of the hardest teams to project for this list, given Christian McCaffrey's recent injury history," writes PFF's Dalton Wasserman .

| 4/15/25 | Latest Jakobi Meyers update is exactly what Raiders fans want to hear. The Josh McDaniels era is widely considered to be a failure for the Las Vegas Raiders. While the team never hit rock bottom while he and general manager Dave Ziegler were at the helm, it seemed like both the team and Raider Nation quickly got sick of "The Patriot Way." Not only did this duo provide the failed signings of Jimmy Garoppolo, Marcus Peters and Chandler Jones, but they also traded for Davante Adams, wouldn't find common ground on an extension for Josh Jacobs and let Derek Carr walk out of the building with no compensation in return.

| 3/13/25 | Did Jimmy Garoppolo take shot at Raiders during Rams press conference?. Many veteran quarterbacks have come, failed and gone over Las Vegas Raiders team history, and that list includes Jimmy Garoppolo, who spent just one season with the franchise. Garoppolo was signed in 2023 during the Dave Ziegler-Josh McDaniels era to be the quick fix under center. Unfortunately, that did not pan out and Jimmy G was benched after six games and the firing of McDaniels. Following the 2023 campaign, Garoppolo latched on with the Los Angeles Rams in 2024 to serve as Matthew Stafford's backup, and he recently re-upped with the team on a one-year deal.
