Free agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo considered retirement during the offseason, but Garoppolo has now decided he will come back to play in the right situation, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.<\/p>\n
Garafolo noted that nothing is imminent, and it might take a quarterback injury for Garoppolo to sign somewhere.<\/p>\n
Garoppolo spent the past two seasons with the Rams as Matthew Stafford\u2019s backup. Coach Sean McVay has kept the door open to Garoppolo\u2019s return despite the team\u2019s first-round selection of Ty Simpson.<\/p>\n
Garoppolo, 34, was a second-round pick of the Patriots in 2014 and also has played for the 49ers and Raiders in his 12 seasons.<\/p>\n
He has appeared in 85 games with 64 starts — 55 coming with the 49ers \u2014 and is 43-21 as a starter. Garoppolo has totaled 15,828 passing yards, 96 touchdowns and 52 interceptions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Free agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo considered retirement during the offseason, but Garoppolo has now decided he will come…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":779053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-779052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=779052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/779053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=779052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=779052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=779052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
