Former New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his last NFL start two years ago. It could be his final one in the league.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Garoppolo could retire from the league this offseason.
“Rams free agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo, considered their top option as backup QB, is considering retirement, sources say,” wrote Rapoport.
“Jimmy G, who has started 64 games during a 12-year career, has made over $156M in all. He is 34 and is mulling a final decision.”
Garoppolo’s career began with the Patriots, who selected him at No. 62 overall during the second round in the 2014 NFL Draft. The quarterback spent parts of four seasons with the Patriots before New England traded him to the San Francisco 49ers.
Garoppolo started two games for New England in 2016. Those came during Tom Brady’s famous deflategate suspension. The Patriots won both of those Garoppolo starts.
In 12 NFL seasons, Garoppolo has won more than two-thirds of his starts, posting a 43-21 overall record. He’s also registered a 4-2 record in the playoffs.
