The reported move reunites Garoppolo with Raiders coach Josh McDaniels, who previously worked with the veteran quarterback with the New England Patriots. Garoppolo is also well-known to Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler.

The three were teammates in New England from 2014 to 2017, when Garoppolo was a member of the Patriots. He earned two Super Bowl rings as a backup to Tom Brady with then-offensive coordinator McDaniels and Ziegler, who served as both assistant director of pro scouting and director of pro personnel during the quarterback’s time there.
Garoppolo was traded from the Patriots to the 49ers in October of the 2017 NFL season, and he went on to play in three NFC Championship Games and Super Bowl LIV with San Francisco. He had a passer rating of 99.2 in 57 games with the 49ers, with 13,599 yards, 82 touchdowns, and 42 interceptions.
Garoppolo had a 38-17 record as the 49ers’ starter and won four of his six playoff games with the team. He brought winning football back to the Bay after several down years, and the 49ers faithful will be eternally grateful.
