NFL free agency: Should Giants pursue Jimmy Garoppolo as backup QB?

The New York Giants are in the market for a veteran backup quarterback as an insurance policy in the event Daniel Jones’ recovery from his 2023 torn ACL does not go as expected. Could the answer by Jimmy Garoppolo?

Garappolo, who turns 33 in November, had a disastrous run as the quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023. He threw nine interceptions vs. just seven touchdown passes, had a career-worst 5.3% interception rate and had career worsts in passer rating (77.7) and QBR (33.9). Garoppolo started just six games for the Raiders before watching rookie Aidan O’Connell take the job.
