The Raiders have signed Garoppolo, who was initially only scheduled as a 49ers backup last season but then played 11 games before ending the season early with a foot injury, to a three-year contract for $72.75 million.
In Las Vegas, Garoppolo, who led San Francisco to the Super Bowl in the 2019 season, will succeed Derek Carr, who will now play for the New Orleans Saints.

Quarterback situation: Miami Dolphins bet on Tua Tagovailoa
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Tua Tagovailoa has had a difficult year. Although the quarterback was able to convince on the field, he suffered several concussions. Experts even speculated regarding a possible early career end for health reasons. The Dolphins are still planning with Tagovailoa: According to information from “ESPN” reporter Adam Schefter, the Hawaiian has already secured his starter job for the 2023 season – the last of his rookie contract. Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine, GM Chris Grier said the franchise isn’t ruling out a long-term future with the Lefty: “It’s not something that makes us shy away from planning something long-term,” Grier said. “Even though he’s been knocked out, he always comes back and performs well. I’m looking forward to his future.”
- Starter: Tua Tagovailoa
- Backup: Skylar Thompson
