Report: Jimmy Garoppolo reuniting with Josh McDaniels in Las Vegas
BOSTON -- Josh McDaniels and Jimmy Garoppolo are reuniting.
The free-agent quarterback is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, as first reported by Mike Garafolo.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the details of the deal, with Garoppolo getting $34 million guaranteed in a three-year deal worth as much as $67.5 million.
Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels was of course the offensive coordinator in New England when Garoppolo served as Tom Brady's backup from 2014-17, Garoppolo's first four seasons in the league.
The 31-year-old Garoppolo has played for the 49ers since the end of the 2017 season, going 38-17 in his 55 starts with a 67.6 percent completion rate, an 8.3 yards-per-attempt average, 82 touchdowns and 42 interceptions.
The Raiders moved on from Derek Carr after last season, and though they were rumored to have waded into the Aaron Rodgers water, it appears as though they're moving ahead with Garoppolo as their top QB.
