This always seemed like the obvious path as even when Stafford's trade rumors were active, Garoppolo was a common link to return to L.A. as a bridge option. Instead, Stafford returns with new money and Jimmy G is back for one year with an unspecified contract at this time. He played one game in 2024, a loss where he threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns. He has 64 career starts.

Jimmy Garoppolo completed 27-of-41 passing attempts for 334 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Garoppolo stepped up as the starter for Los Angeles in the absence of Matthew Stafford, who the team decided to sit in anticipation for their playoff game next week. The 33-year old had a pretty good game, but it wasn't enough for the Rams to pick up the win. He will be a free agent after this season, and it remains to be seen where he will end up.
