Jimmy Garoppolo signs one-year contract with Los Angeles Rams, per reports

Jimmy Garoppolo is on the move again.
The quarterback agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams on Friday, according to multiple reports.
Garoppolo, 32, was officially cut by the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday after one disappointing season with the team. He signed a three-year, $72.75 million contract last offseason, but the remainder of his guaranteed money was voided when he was suspended two games by the NFL for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Garoppolo started six games and threw seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. After coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler were fired at midseason, new coach Antonio Pierce benched the veteran in favor of rookie Aidan O'Connell.
In Los Angeles, Garoppolo returns to the NFC West after spending six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He now slots in as the backup to Matthew Stafford. The Rams selected Stetson Bennett in the fourth round of last year's NFL draft, but the Georgia product was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list in September. The team has not provided any details regarding his absence.

Brett Rypien had to fill in as the starter for a November loss to the Green Bay Packers when Stafford was sidelined by a thumb injury. He threw for just 130 yards in the 20-3 defeat, after which the Rams would win seven of their last eight games to push into the playoffs.
"I do think it's important, as we saw in Green Bay, if we can have a backup quarterback that can help us win a game because losing the Green Bay game could have hurt us [in the playoff hunt]," Rams general manager Les Snead said in January.
