“Here’s my understanding with Jimmy G. In the right situation, he will come back, and he will play football. He has not decided to retire. He just needed some time to himself this offseason,” Garafolo said.

“I don’t think anything is imminent. I wouldn’t expect him to sign with anybody. Maybe it’s gonna have to be an injury to a quarterback and you need a veteran guy to be part of the mix, if not the starter.

“But Jimmy Garoppolo is not retiring. From my understanding, he will continue to play.”

After spending the last two seasons in LA, it appears Garoppolo will join another team after the Rams drafted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

While he likely won’t sign with a team anytime soon, there could be an opportunity for Garoppolo down the line. The ebbs and flows of an NFL season are hard to predict, but injuries are a recurring theme in the league.

Garoppolo could join a team with an ailing quarterback room later this year after the latest update effectively squashed retirement rumors.
