The Arizona Cardinals were interested in reuniting Jimmy Garoppolo with new head coach Mike LaFleur, but when those talks hit a snag that’s when the team pivoted to Gardner Minshew. LaFleur was looking to give one of the quarterbacks he worked with on the Rams a chance to compete for reps against Jacoby Brissett in Arizona. Now it appears that L.A. continues to be in the running for Garoppolo as a backup to Matthew Stafford once again.
Garoppolo has spent the past two seasons backing up Stafford, a role that one would think might have resulted in more opportunities for the former Patriots, 49ers, and Raiders quarterback due to Stafford’s age and a few ailments. However, lucky for the Rams none of those chances have really come to pass with Garoppolo only suiting up for a Week 18 game in 2024 and Stafford performing well enough to win MVP in 2025.
The Rams must continue to monitor Garoppolo’s opportunities and seek him out for a third season as the backup.
