Cardinals are interested<\/a> in Garoppolo. And for good reason. New head coach Mike LaFleur comes from the Rams, where Garoppolo has spent the last two seasons as the understudy to Matthew Stafford.<\/p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s his guy,\u201d an unnamed source told Fowler regarding Mike LaFleur\u2019s opinion of Garoppolo.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals also have Jacoby Brissett under contract for 2026. He\u2019s due to make $5.44 million in 2026, with another $1 million if he takes 50 percent of the snaps and $1 million more if the percentage lands at 65 or higher. On the fifth day of the 2026 league year, $1.5 million of Brissett\u2019s base salary becomes fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Per Fowler, the Rams would welcome Garoppolo back as the No. 2 to Stafford. Garoppolo also is in play to replace Malik Willis as the No. 2 to Jordan Love in Green Bay.<\/p>\n
Garoppolo has 64 career starts. The bulk of those came during five-plus years with the 49ers. In 2019, he led San Francisco to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
For a brief time in 2018, Garoppolo was the highest-paid player in the league, at $27.5 million per year. He made $3 million last season with the Rams.<\/p>\n
If the Cardinals keep Brissett and sign Garoppolo, it\u2019ll be a reunion \u2014 10 years later \u2014 of the quarterbacks who split four starts during Tom Brady\u2019s #Deflategate suspension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Garoppolo could be making a comeback.
