Football 49ers make Garoppolo highest paid NFL player - Page 10

**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.

I don't understand the love fest for him. At first I thought the 49ers just ruined their cap for a top 10-15 QB but they have so much cap space they are able to severely front load his cap hit and he becomes more in line from years 2-5.

Apparently because you didn’t watch him play.

We haven't had a real quarterback since Jeff Garcia. 14 years.

And, yes, it's awesome timing, as we have the most cap space in the league.

Go **** yourself.

You’re a ****ing idiot that knows absolutely nothing about the NFL.

You’re a dime store psychologist that’s dumb as **** and constantly talk out of your ass.

You’re a pathetic joke of a man.

I'm not so sure which one is more ludicrous, your weird obsession with Garoppolo or the fact that you think the 2017 Chiefs were serious Superbowl contenders

I’d say the fact that you’re a butt****ing moron takes the cake

We were for a few weeks, does that count?

****ing good for you.

Other than a brief stint of Montana and Trent Green, we haven't had one since the ****ing Nixon administration.

Go crawl up your own ass to claim your suffering fan medal, crybaby

I was offering an explanation for the "love fest," not complaints.

Small sample size but he did show a lot of promise. What were they expected to do? Let him hit FA? Use the tag? Both would have been stupid moves.

GloucesterChief · 02-10-2018, 10:32 AM

If its front loaded then probably not a bad deal. If Jimmy starts to suck then the 9ers can cut bait rather quickly.

Yep. We were 0-9 without him. Ended the season on five game winning streak with him.

It's fairly amazing that he set the new bar with that contract... totally resets the field for all others. Crazy deal for such a small sample size, but that's the NFL now. 5 wins with 1,560 yards, 7 TDs and 5 INTs. Nice.

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.
