Jimmy Garoppolo made five starts with the San Francisco 49ers, going 5-0 after beginning the season 1-10 with other quarterbacks in place. Any team that acquired Garoppolo knew they were going to have to open the checkbook for the former understudy to Tom Brady, and that’s exactly what 49ers GM John Lynch did.
The 49ers and QB Jimmy Garoppolo have agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million contract, source says. The biggest deal in NFL history on a average-per-year basis.
