No Jimmy G for Texans. 49ers QB agrees to $67.5 million deal with Raiders.

It’s over. This time, for real. On Monday, 13 months after Jimmy Garoppolo bid farewell to reporters and fans in a season-ending news conference, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback officially left the franchise after five-plus seasons.

Garoppolo, 31, reportedly agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million contract with $34 million guaranteed with the Raiders on Monday. Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels was Garoppolo’s offensive coordinator for more than three seasons with the Patriots before the 49ers acquired him for a second-round pick in October 2017.

The Texans, because of new coach DeMeco Ryan’s ties to Garoppolo in San Francisco and general manager Nick Caserio’s connections withe QB in New England had discussed signing Garoppolo as well.

That deal began a memorable roller-coaster ride in which Garoppolo had a 38-17 regular-season record as a starter and became the franchise leader in completion percentage and yards per attempt. Garoppolo also ranks second in passer rating, is third behind Steve Young and Joe Montana in winning percentage and is one four 49ers QBs to have four playoff wins.

However, Garoppolo leaves behind a mixed legacy due to an extensive medical file that includes injuries to his knee, ankle, calf, foot, shoulder and thumb, as well as fourth-quarter failures in high-stakes losses.

Garoppolo missed 30 games due to injuries and struggled at the end of a 31-20 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV in February 2020, a game in which the 49ers led 20-10 entering the final quarter. Two years later, Garoppolo endured a similar nightmare in a 20-17 loss to the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, which the 49ers led 17-7 with 15 minutes left. Garoppolo completed 6 of 20 passes for 66 yards and threw two interceptions, posting a 1.3 passer rating, in the fourth quarter of those defeats.

Garoppolo’s imperfections inspired the 49ers to trade up in the 2021 draft to select his replacement, North Dakota State’s Trey Lance, with the No. 3 overall pick.

Garoppolo kept the starting job in Lance’s rookie season, but he was universally expected to be traded after the 2021 season to cede the spot to Lance. In fact, two days after the loss to the Rams in the NFC title game, Garoppolo mentioned reporters and fans in an emotional goodbye that punctuated his season-ending news conference.

“It’s been a hell of a ride,” he said. “I love you guys.”

However, Garoppolo subsequently had to undergo offseason shoulder surgery, which scuttled the 49ers’ trade talks. And the unexpected procedure led to an unexpected result: After interest in Garoppolo remained tepid during his rehab, he decided to return to the 49ers on a restructured contract as Trey Lance’s backup less than two weeks before the 2022 regular-season opener.

That set the stage for a final season with the 49ers that included familiar ingredients: Regular-season success and a serious injury.

After Lance suffered a broken ankle in Week 2, Garoppolo went 7-3 as a starter, threw 16 touchdowns and four interceptions and posted a career-best passer rating (103.0). But his run ended in the first quarter of a 33-17 win over the Dolphins on Dec. 4 when he suffered a broken foot.
