Breaking news:”Las Vegas Raiders’ Super Bowl Aspirations Heightened with Signing of …

Los Angeles Chargers v San Francisco 49ers

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders have reportedly reached an agreement.The 31-year-old signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract with $34 million guaranteed on Monday, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.Garoppolo started 10 games for the San Francisco 49ers in 2022 before breaking his left foot against the Miami Dolphins. Before the injury, he was 7-3 with 16 touchdown passes and only 4 interceptions.

I believe Garoppolo is the quarterback the Raiders needed. Garoppolo’s ability to win games is one of his greatest qualities as a quarterback. During his time with the 49ers, Garoppolo led San Francisco to the Super Bowl in 2020 and the NFC Championship Game in 2022. As the starting quarterback, Jimmy G. came incredibly close to winning it all.Garoppolo will be reunited with Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels, who was his offensive coordinator during his first three seasons with the New England Patriots. Even though Jimmy G. was Tom Brady’s quarterback during his time with the Pats, he kept going through McDaniels and Brady’s front line during the season en route to a championship. That said, I believe Garoppolo has championship DNA. I also think that McDaniels is the best head coach he could ask for at this point in his career due to the fact that they have worked together in the past.Right now, Garoppolo is working with one of the best in the wide receivers in Davante Adams.

Adams was selected to the Pro Bowl in six consecutive seasons. In his first season with the Raiders in 2022, he caught 100 passes for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns, according to Pro Football.He also plays alongside All-Pro draftee Josh Jacobs. According to ESPN, Jacobs led the league in rushing yards in 2022 with 1,653. With Jacobs and Adams helping Garoppolo carry the weight of the Vegas offense, I can foresee the Raiders making it back to the postseason. Vegas was last in the playoffs in January 2022 when the Cincinnati Bengals defeated them in the Wild Card round. It’s been over 20 years since the last playoff game.The last time the Raiders made the playoffs was in 2003 when they beat the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game. Then there was Jerry Rice and quarterback Rich Gannon as their favorite.If Garoppolo can stay healthy, the Raiders will be back in the postseason in 2024..
