Jimmy Garoppolo’s arrival is what all Las Vegas Raiders fans were looking for. The team’s front office wants to build a very competitive team around the 2-time Super Bowl champion and has now given him a new weapon for his offense.
The Raiders needed a veteran quarterback after Derek Carr’s departure. They had two options available with Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Garoppolo, but at the end they decided to pursue this last one.
A new era will begin this year for the Raiders. They are very excited to have Jimmy Garoppolo as their quarterback, so much that the team’s front office is giving him multiple weapons to succeed at Las Vegas.
Jimmy Garoppolo gets a new weapon for his offense at the Raiders
The Raiders want to leave behind what happened last year. They ended with a 6-11 record in 2022, so they made some changes and brought Jimmy Garoppolo to replace Derek Carr.
But Garoppolo is not the only new player in Las Vegas. They have made multiple changes in their roster in order to help the quarterback succeed and prove why he was the best option for them.
After losing Darren Waller, who was traded to the New York Giants, the Raiders signed Austin Hooper. The tight end will join former Texan OJ Howard in a remarkable duo that will definitely be useful for Garoppolo.
Hooper arrives after a disappointing season with the Titans, where he only started two games with 41 receptions for 444 yards and only two touchdowns.
