Will Falcons Sign Garoppolo After Raiders Cut Suspended QB?

The Atlanta Falcons may have a quarterback available in the upcoming

free agent class. The Las Vegas Raiders are anticipated to fire Jimmy Garoppolo

this summer after the NFL suspended him for two games for using

performance-enhancing drugs, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Since Desmond Ridder and NFL veteran Taylor Heinicke alternated at the quarterback position in the 2023 season, Atlanta has not witnessed quarterback play at an exceptional level. Should the Falcons choose not to select a new signal caller in the draft, it could be a good idea to make an intraleague transfer. Garoppolo is one such name that might work in Atlanta, but would he be a good match for the Falcons? Now let’s examine the figures.

Although Garoppolo only had two starts while in New England, he spent the most of his career in San Francisco with the 49ers before moving on to the Raiders. Although he has never passed for more than 4,000 yards in a single season, he has an excellent on-field record. With 40-17 starts, Garoppolo is the quarterback’s record. Even if his individual numbers don’t immediately stand out, he has a track record of winning games.

The Falcons have a lot of options at their disposal, and Raheem Morris and company may now pursue Garoppolo if they so desire. If they sign Garoppolo with his two-game suspension to begin the season, they had best bring in backup.
