The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a deal with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, according to multiple reports.
Garoppolo, 31, is expected to join the Raiders on a three-year, $67.5 million deal with $34 million guaranteed, ESPN reported citing sources.
The move will reunite Garoppolo with Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels, who served as his offensive coordinator while the two were in New England.
Garoppolo’s departure follows a turbulent year for the former Patriots backup.
After failing to find a trade partner, the Niners and Garoppolo agreed to a one-year contract in the offseason. But just two weeks into the season, Garoppolo was called on after starter Trey Lance after he went down with an ankle injury.
He would go on to win six games as San Francisco’s starter but during the 49ers’ 33-17 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, he suffered his own season-ending injury, handing the baton to rookie Brock Purdy.
