Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jimmy Garoppolo

Monday, March 10, 10:50 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers and soon-to-be free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers could have an agreement in place as soon as Tuesday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Justin Fields signed a two-year deal with the New York Jets on Monday, and Sam Darnold agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks, so the options at QB for the Steelers are dwindling. The Steelers began talking with Rodgers several days ago, although he won't be able to officially sign until Wednesday when the Jets release him. The New York Giants could still remain in play for the future Hall of Famer if they make him a better offer, but one big factor could be Rodgers' desire to play two more years. Rodgers is far more likely to get a second season in Pittsburgh, and the receiver tandem of George Pickens and DK Metcalf is also more appealing. Even though Rodgers would have some solid receiving options in Pittsburgh, he'd still likely be no more than a risky QB2 in superflex leagues if he were to land in the Steel City. Stay tuned.

Free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is signing back with the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year deal, according to ESPN. The 33-year-old signed with Los Angeles last offseason to back up Matthew Stafford and will return in that role for the 2025 campaign. Garoppolo has thrown for 15,828 yards, 96 touchdowns, and 52 interceptions in 82 career games with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Rams. He appeared in one game last season, posting 334 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. While Jimmy G won't see significant playing time barring a Stafford injury, he's worth stashing in deeper Superflex or two-QB formats. If Stafford has to miss any time next season, Garoppolo would be throwing to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams and could have low-end QB1 upside.
