Garoppolo's Rams Exit Likely as Rams Draft Simpson

0:00On April 20th, Jimmy Garoppolo looks like he's stepping back from the Rams right now, possibly sitting out until a better spot opens up. Word is the team might grab Ty Simpson in this week's draft, and they probably can't keep both quarterbacks on the roster anyway. Rams coaches seem set on developing a young guy like Simpson behind the scenes for a year, which might not sit well with Garoppolo. At 34, he could feel like the odd man out if the plan is to face him away. Fans and insiders see this as Garoppolo losing steam after going zero and one as a starter with the Rams last season. That meaningless week 18 game against the Seahawks didn't help, and with Matthew Stafford eyeing retirement, the front office wants fresh blood. Sean McVeigh and LesNeed are pushing younger, way under 34 or 35 years old. Stetson Bennett's still around too, but that doesn't shake up the backup picture much. Either way, Garoppolo might just be burned out from years of riding the bench, and this could be his quiet exit from L.A. as the draft shakes things.
