A talk with Coach Sean McVay sparked the interest of the former Raiders and 49ers quarterback, who signed a one-year deal to back up starter Matthew Stafford.
HENDERSON, NEVADA – JULY 26: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo #10 of the Las Vegas Raiders throws during the first practice of the team’s training camp at the Las Vegas Raiders Headquarters/Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center on July 26, 2023 in Henderson, Nevada. Jimmy Garoppolo and Sean McVay have always talked when their paths have crossed. After their two games a year as division rivals. After joint practice between the Raiders and Rams a year ago.
When his contract with the San Francisco 49ers expired last offseason, he quickly found a new starting job with the Las Vegas Raiders, signing a three-year, $67.5 million contract and reuniting with former coach Josh McDaniels. By Halloween, McDaniels had been fired and Garoppolo benched after throwing seven touchdowns and nine interceptions in seven games.
“Talking to Sean really sealed the deal on the phone,” Garoppolo said. “He had a vision, talked me through and really just explained what he saw my role as and just his football knowledge. I’ve heard it from so many different players and coaches, but to be here firsthand and get to experience it, that’s what I’m really excited about.”
Garoppolo said he felt that support system has been important for other veteran quarterbacks who have backed up Stafford the last two seasons. Baker Mayfield turned his time in Los Angeles into a starting audition in Tampa Bay and, following a playoff win, a three-year, $100 million contract.
