49ers make Garoppolo highest paid NFL player

[The Franchise]

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.

Jags got swept by the Tits, Tits were a bad team down the stretch( pathetic for the Chiefs), and the rams didn't care about that game ( or the playoff game they shit the bed in apparently) Meh...

Wins against Chicago, Houston and Tennessee aren’t exactly ones that mark the makings of a contender. SF dropped a lot of money on a guy who’s body of work is small. They best surround him with some weapons on short order.

There was no way the Chiefs were sniffing a Super Bowl this year regardless of who the qb was. That defense was soft. As soon as Berry was done, so was this defense. The pass rush was anemic and musical chairs across from Peters plagued the team all year.

Exactly.

The jury is still out for me on JG. Just not enough body of work yet and some of these teams if not all of them that JG defeated bought into the 49ers suck hype thus looking past them. But give JG credit because if he is "the real deal" he should have been able to do what he did against these teams that were looking way past them and JG himself of which he took advantage of this. Next year will tell a lot IMHO.

This is completely false.

The Jags didn’t wrap up the division in Week 14.

You’re dumb as ****, too, but that’s not no secret.

Division games are so different from the rest of the schedule it seems.

Like I said, the JAGs and Titans were looking way past the Niners/JG and got caught with their pants down. The fact the Niners won these games definitely shows they have potential but if they play the Niners 10x both the Jags and Titans win 8 of 10 if not 9 every time. Why? Because now they are prepped and have more talent by far at this point.

A little heavy handed with the overzealous fanboy mentality here, dude threw 7TDs 5INTs. Calm your tits ffs. The 2017 Chiefs weren't contending jack shit regardless.

Jimmy G’s contract is hilariously frontloaded, which makes perfect sense for the 49ers given their cap space and desire to protect themselves. $42.6 million in the first season. He just went from being Tom’s ball washer to living in SF with 42m coming in.
