Reunited In New England?
One of the top suitors for the Raiders quarterback is the New England Patriots, who previously had Garoppolo years ago as the backup to Tom Brady. The Patriots have been struggling offensively, especially when it comes to the quarterback position. The current starter Mac Jones has been historically bad which has caused talks of New England investing in a new quarterback.
Bill Belichick had some high praise for Garoppolo which has built up to their matchup this Sunday. Belichick said, “I mean he only played in a game and a half here, not very much. But we saw Jimmy every day. We saw the talent and the ability to be a starting quarterback. That’s what he was drafted for and that’s what he is. He’s had a good career. Happy for him.”
Jimmy Garoppolo’s Career
Even though the legendary coach gave Garoppolo his praise, the Raiders quarterback has been struggling this season. He has only amounted to 917 passing yards and six touchdowns. He has thrown for seven interceptions which has been the main downfall for Las Vegas in 2023.
Since entering the league in 2014, he has gone for 15,206 passing yards and 93 touchdowns. After leaving New England, he became the starter for the San Francisco 49ers from 2017-2021 before joining the Raiders. We will see if he has a big turnaround in Las Vegas, and if not, do not be surprised if he and Belichick have a reunion.
