Free agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is considering retirement, sources told NFL Network on Monday.
Garoppolo, 34, has spent the past two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, backing up quarterback Matthew Stafford, and was still considered the top option to fill that role for the 2026 season.
At the NFL’s annual meeting last month, coach Sean McVay said that the Rams were considering Garoppolo and Kirk Cousins for the role as Stafford’s backup. Cousins has since signed with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Garoppolo appeared in three games during the 2025 season but did not attempt a pass behind a healthy Stafford.
