Money Year For Jimmy G

Every NFL player has something to prove this season. They are always fighting for their next contract.

When the 49er's traded with the Pats for QB Jimmy Garappolo, they structured his contract in such a way to protect themselves.

They gave him a deal for 5 years/$137.5 million, with $42 million paid in 2018 and $18.9 million this season. IF they don't like his performance, they can release him before April 1 of next year and void the last 3 years/$76.3 million.

Garoppolo is returning from tearing his ACL in the third game last season. He needs to prove that he is durable. He has shown great ability on the field, but staying healthy could be a challenge.
