Jimmy Garoppolo rumors: 2 teams emerge, but where's the best fit? (FanSided)

Jimmy Garoppolo will have many suitors in free agency. With two teams emerging, who makes more sense between the Las Vegas Raiders or the Houston Texans?

While he would work in New York too, I kind of want to see Garoppolo be the 21st century version of Ken Stabler for the Silver and Black. I think Garoppolo would be a terrific addition in Las Vegas, regardless of what the Raiders plan to do picking at No. More importantly, McDaniels is an offensive-minded coach and Garoppolo needs to go to a franchise where that type of structure is paramount to it. The most important thing to understand here is Garoppolo has a strong connection to all three head coaches in question. Either way, Garoppolo’s time with the [San Francisco 49ers](http://fansided.com/nfl/teams/san-francisco-49ers) is coming to an end, but he will be courted by many teams in his marquee [NFL free agency](http://fansided.com/nfl/nfl-free-agency).

The Raiders have signed Jimmy Garoppolo to take over for Derek Carr, and they are getting a pretty solid deal in exchange for his services.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Garoppolo will play on a three-year deal as a part of his signing with the Raiders. As such, the average annual value (AAV) of Garoppolo's deal will be between $22.5 million and $24.1 million. Garoppolo's winning ways have been a constant throughout his career. Those are few and far between in the NFL, but it's fair compensation for Garoppolo. When each is cold, they are prone to turnovers and inaccuracy. 22nd of 39 qualified passers But just how much is Garoppolo set to make on his new deal?

The 49ers and Garoppolo re-worked his remaining contract into a one-year deal worth a fully guaranteed $6.5 million.

The Final Four is in Dallas on March 31 and the championship game is two days later on April 2. The First Four games on campus will kick things off and set the final bracket with 68 teams battling it out for the national championship in women’s basketball. President Joe Biden insisted that the US banking system was safe after the second- and third-largest bank failures in the nation's history happened in the span of 48 hours. Authorities say a Spanish-speaking woman on one of the panga-style boats called 911 late Saturday off the treacherous waters off Black’s Beach. Climate activists have rallied against the Willow project, calling it a “carbon bomb” that would be a betrayal of Biden’s campaign pledges to curb new oil and gas drilling. The S&P 500 dipped 0.2% after whipsaw trading, where it careened from an early loss of 1.4% to a midday gain of nearly that much. The Raiders have been linked to Garoppolo almost from the moment coach Josh McDaniels benched nine-year starter Derek Carr with two weeks left in the season. Despite the message from the White House, investors broadly dumped shares in bank stocks.

Best early move of NFL free agency? Raiders' deal for Jimmy ... (USA TODAY)

Another defensive tackle, Javon Hargrave, bolted from Philadelphia to San Francisco on a four-year, $84 million contract. Mike McGlinchey? The former 49ers ...

The unknown is whether the Raiders can bank on Garoppolo to be on the field. It’s possible that the Raiders could groom a young quarterback and opt to even part ways with Garoppolo after a year or two without diving into salary cap purgatory. To acknowledge the possibility of starting but not finishing with Garoppolo, the contract contains per-game bonuses of $90,000. Dave Ziegler, the second-year Raiders GM who also has history with Garoppolo from his days in Bill Belichick’s scouting wing with the Patriots, can take a bow. The Raiders landed Garoppolo with a three-year, $72.75 million deal that came with $45 million guaranteed. He [landed in New Orleans](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2023/03/06/derek-carr-new-orleans-saints-quarteback-free-agent/11411968002/), reunited with his former head coach, Dennis Allen, with a four-year, $150 million deal that guarantees $100 million. And it will help to have a premier running back in Josh Jacobs to power the rushing attack, while Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and newly added Jakobi Meyers embody formidable targets in the passing game. Instead of keeping Carr, who would have been guaranteed $40.4 million if he were on the roster on Feb. Follow history and the Raiders' payout is modest. [the Raiders released established quarterback Derek Carr](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/saints/2023/03/06/derek-carr-contract-winners-losers-saints-quarterbacks/11414657002/) – it is quite the parlay for Las Vegas. That's type of market comp to consider when assessing what the Raiders will pay Garoppolo, who apparently was also on Houston’s radar, too. As the NFL’s revenues escalate and the salary cap keeps rising, up to $224.8 million per team for 2023, the funny money is flowing.
