Football 49ers make Garoppolo highest paid NFL player - Page 11

**The Franchise** · 02-08-2018, 12:38 PM

Jimmy Garoppolo just got paid.

The San Francisco 49ers made the free-agent quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history on Thursday, signing Garoppolo to a five-year contract. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that the deal is worth $137.5 million, per sources, and is the biggest deal in NFL history on an average-per-year basis.

Garoppolo joined John Lynch's Niners in a surprising midseason trade from the New England Patriots and, within three weeks in the building, earned the starting role. In six games and five starts, Jimmy G tore up the league, completing 67.4 percent of his passes for 1,560 passing yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions. Garoppolo was slated to be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Around the NFL will have more on Garoppolo's pay day shortly.

Every guy like Foles, Keenum, etc... what are they worth now with JG getting that deal? Cousins will set the new mark and whether that's in Denver or elsewhere, good luck. I'll buckle up for whatever is in their future, my lone request is that they don't spend that #5 pick on one of the rookie QBs. That's all.

Yeah... the league has caused this by making so many rule changes over the years to make the NFL qb-centric.

They wanted exciting, high scoring, pass happy games to keep more casual fans interested, but it seems to have had the opposite effect, especially on dedicated fans, who now find the league less interesting than ever.

You can't blame the 49ers, really. Garoppolo working out is a much greater chance than them drafting a QB that will work out, and he's already on the roster.

He looks like a completely different guy than last year. From having excellent footwork to very lazy/sloppy footwork. From a very quick release to staring down receivers.

Meh. Rough moments against a great defense. He will be fine, so long as they can patch up that IOL. His low depth chart WR did him no favors by running a wrong route and allowing that pick 6.

Jimmy G did force a few balls into too much coverage, but he'll get it together, me thinks.
