Rams Interested in Bringing Back Jimmy Garoppolo

Sunday, March 22, 9:37 AM

The Los Angeles Rams are interested in bringing back veteran free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but the market for him is fluid, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. If the Rams don't retain Jimmy G, they could opt for another trusted veteran to back up Matthew Stafford, or they could look to the NFL draft to find both a backup and an heir apparent to replace Stafford once he retires. It's unlikely that the Rams will use the No. 13 overall pick in the first round in this year's draft on a QB when next year's draft appears to be much stronger at the position. The 34-year-old Garoppolo has appeared in just four games and has made one start for the Rams in his two seasons with the team. Since the start of the 2023 season, Garoppolo has attempted just 210 passes for 1,539 yards, nine touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in eight games (seven starts). He has completed 67.4% of his passes in his 12-year NFL career, though, and he remains one of the most experienced backup QBs in the league.

Jake Browning Plans to Sign One-Year Deal With Buccaneers

Wednesday, March 11, 12:50 PM

Free-agent quarterback Jake Browning plans to sign an undisclosed one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Browning will go from backing up Joe Burrow in Cincinnati to backing up Baker Mayfield in Tampa. The 29-year-old signal-caller from Washington has three years of NFL experience with the Bengals, appearing in 17 games (10 starts). In those games, Browning completed 68.5% of his 368 pass attempts for 2,707 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He led the league with a 70.4% completion percentage in his rookie year in 2023, when he was forced to make seven starts with Burrow injured. In Tampa, Browning will serve as a solid backup option for Mayfield, whose aggressive style of play opens him up to plenty of injuries. If Browning is forced into starts for the Bucs in 2026, he definitely won't have the top-notch receiving corps he worked with in Cincy.
