Jimmy Garoppolo Drawing Free Agent Interest as Rams Hope for Return

Rams coach Sean McVay "absolutely" desires backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo's return, despite Garoppolo becoming a free agent next week. Garoppolo, who turns 35 in 2026, is drawing interest from teams like the Cardinals, Packers, and potentially the Dolphins if they miss out on Malik Willis. He could compete for a starting role elsewhere, having previously led the 49ers to a Super Bowl. If Garoppolo departs, the Rams would need to find a new No. 2 quarterback, with Stetson Bennett as a potential option.
