Jimmy Garoppolo signing with Raiders in major NFL free agency domino

Jimmy Garoppolo is headed to Sin City.

The Raiders are closing in on a deal with the longtime 49ers quarterback, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Las Vegas is reportedly giving Garoppolo a three-year, $67.5 million deal, including $34 million guaranteed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.

The move makes sense for Garoppolo, who is familiar with Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels.

The two spent time together in New England from 2014-16 when McDaniels was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

The Raiders have been targeting Garoppolo after they released Derek Carr, who declined to waive his no-trade clause in February and ultimately signed with the Saints.

The move eliminates a potential Plan B for the Jets if Aaron Rodgers opts for retirement, instead of a trade to New York.
