\t\t\tJimmy Garoppolo And The Bucs
\nFebruary 18th, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Bucs seem to love everything with a tie to the Sean McVay offense in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Heck, the Rams head coach himself sat down last year for the Buccaneers\u2019 fancy documentary chronicling their 50-year history, Raise The Flags.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After watching Bucs backup Teddy Bridgewater play against those Rams last season, Joe thinks it\u2019s reasonable to suggest the Bucs could use an upgrade at the position.<\/p>\n

Enter Jimmy Garoppolo.<\/p>\n

The veteran QB with 47 wins under his belt spent the past two seasons as Matt Stafford\u2019s backup with McVay and the Rams. Garoppolo is a pending free agent who earned just $3 million.<\/p>\n

Joe can\u2019t think of a reason why the Bucs wouldn\u2019t be interested in at least sniffing Garoppolo. He should be an easy fit into the Bucs\u2019 new\/tweaked McVay offense under former McVay quarterbacks coach and passing game czar Zac Robinson.<\/p>\n

Also, Joe doesn\u2019t see Baker Mayfield feeling threatened by Garoppolo, who turns 35 in November.<\/p>\n

Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht brought Garoppolo in for a pre-draft visit back in 2014. The Bucs didn\u2019t pick him and he was selected by the Patriots at No. 62 overall. Tampa Bay stuck with starting quarterback Josh McCown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Garoppolo And The Bucs February 18th, 2026 The Bucs seem to love everything with a tie to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2077],"tags":[211,2599,2598,7,6,704,250,2597,2596],"class_list":{"0":"post-762283","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-buccaneers","9":"tag-bucs-message-boards","10":"tag-bucs-news","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-tampa-bay","14":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","15":"tag-tampabay","16":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116097146787000442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
