Sources: Rams eyed Jimmy G if Niners cut QB
Had the 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo been unable to agree to a restructured contract this summer, the rival Rams were lurking as a possible destination for the veteran QB , sources told ESPN.
The Rams, who were eyeing Garoppolo as a legitimate backup option to Matthew Stafford, continually have demonstrated the capability to acquire high-profile, skilled veterans such as Odell Beckham Jr. or Bobby Wagner despite seemingly not having roster or salary-cap space. The Rams were tight against their cap, and it would have been challenging to fit Garoppolo into their salary structure.
