Now that Rams know that their quarter-back leaving will return for at least a year, they can turn their attention to their sub-study.
Coach Sean Mcvay told journalists on Monday that the Rams wanted to bring Jimmy Groppolo back for a second season.
“We would like to bring him back,” Mcvay told journalists. “I was obviously very busy working in Matthew’s situation (Stafford). It is hope and anticipation. Now you know that there could be another interest and that Jimmy gained the right to be able to have this type of interest. But yes, if you said, I would like Jimmy to come back here to be able to work in the quarter room with (Darketbacks Coach) Dave Ragone and Matthew and these guys? Absolutely yes. “
Seven years ago, Groppolo was briefly the best-paid quarter to the history of the league at $ 27.5 million a year, until Kirk Cousins ​​obtained a $ 28 million vikings contract. The 49ers played after the 2022 season. He spent a year with the raiders, starting only six games.
Now 33 years old, Groppolo began the 2024 regular season final against the Seahawks, when the Rams chose to rest key starters before the playoffs. He completed 27 of the 41 assists for 334 yards, two affected and an interception in the 30-25 defeat against Seattle.
Rams also have Stetson Bennett on the list. He has two years left on his recruit contract.
