theringer.com/nfl/2024/3/15/24102176/aaron-donald-retires-la-rams-greatest-defensive-lineman

Quick Glance: Jimmy Garoppolo, Rams One-Year Contract Announcement

Reports indicate that Jimmy Garoppolo has found a new home. The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to sign Garoppolo to a one-year contract in free agency, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday. Garoppolo officially became a free agent on Wednesday after the Las Vegas Raiders released him shortly after signing Gardner Minshew to compete with Aiden O'Connell for the starting quarterback position.

Last season, Garoppolo signed a three-year contract with Las Vegas to become the Raiders' quarterback solution. However, he faced difficulties in six starts, throwing seven touchdowns and nine interceptions with a passer rating of 77.7, leading to being benched in Week 9 in favor of O'Connell. The 32-year-old quarterback has participated in 81 games (63 starts) in his 10-year career, throwing for 94 touchdowns and 51 interceptions with a passer rating of 97.6.

After returning to San Francisco in 2022 to be Trey Lance's backup quarterback, Garoppolo started 10 games that season when Lance was injured. However, a foot injury in December ended Garoppolo's season, leading the 49ers to turn to Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy, who guided them to Super Bowl LVIII in February. Now back in the NFC West Division, Garoppolo will serve as Matthew Stafford's backup quarterback in Los Angeles.

Garoppolo will face a two-game suspension in 2024 for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy.

No Defensive Lineman Dominated the NFL Like Aaron Donald: Donald retires from the Rams as the greatest defensive player of his generation ...

Quick Glance: Aaron Donald concludes remarkable career with the Rams

The standout defensive lineman of his generation, Aaron Donald, has retired after a stellar 10-year career with the Rams. His retirement decision was surprisingly announced through social media. Despite his relatively smaller stature compared to many top defensive players, Donald utilized his exceptional athleticism to create havoc in opposing offenses throughout his career.

After being honored as the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, Donald reached the pinnacle of his fame when the Rams franchise relocated from St. Louis back to Los Angeles in 2016. He played a significant role in the Rams' Super Bowl victory three years later, including forcing a pivotal incomplete pass from Joe Burrow.

While 32-year-old Donald predominantly led a quiet life off the field with his wife and four children, his evident brilliance and McVay's coaching prowess stand as the key factors in the Rams' rise in the sports realm of Los Angeles since the team's return. Under McVay's leadership, the Rams achieved six winning seasons, five playoff appearances, three NFC West titles, two Super Bowl appearances, and a championship.

Donald amassed 543 career tackles, involving 176 tackles for loss, and twenty-four forced fumbles. Demonstrating remarkable durability, he only missed six games due to injuries across his 10-year career. His performance, work ethic, and passion will continue to inspire his team, coaches, and athletes worldwide.

Quick Glance: Jets Enhance Offensive Line with Moses Trade

Jets general manager Joe Douglas may now regret letting Morgan Moses walk in free agency after a strong season as New York's starting right tackle - especially considering the team's past tackle position issues.

Moses, at 33 years old, has been ranked among the top offensive tackles by Pro Football Focus in the last two years, offering a significant upgrade over the Jets' previous players in that position.

The trade represents a significant win for Douglas, who had been relatively quiet at the start of free agency and only had to make a minor move to acquire a quality starting offensive lineman at a low cost.
