Jimmy Garoppolo (34), the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, is reportedly considering retirement instead of returning for a third season. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Garoppolo's decision comes as the Rams appear to be leaning towards drafting younger talent, specifically quarterback Ty Simpson. Garoppolo has had a successful career, starting 64 games and earning over $156 million. However, he has struggled since joining the Rams, holding an 0-1 record as a starter. With the Rams signaling a shift towards younger players as they prepare for life after Matthew Stafford, Garoppolo may feel unwanted in the organization. Additionally, Stetson Bennett is also on the Rams' roster, further complicating Garoppolo's potential role.
