Garoppolo's veteran backup value fits Rams or Patriots over unproven Simpson/DeVito competition.

Garoppolo was contemplating retirement but is now interested in another go, whether during the summer or waiting for an injury to open a slot. The Rams seem like the best option, with Sean McVay expressing he would love to bring Garoppolo back to L.A. No. 13 overall pick Ty Simpson competing with Stetson Bennett for the No. 2 job is worrisome, so getting Garoppolo back to provide a veteran just-in-case option behind Matthew Stafford would be ideal. Alternatively, Garoppolo could head back to the Patriots with Josh McDaniels if they prefer someone more proven than Tommy DeVito behind Drake Maye.
