Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast: Jimmy Garoppolo

Las Vegas Raiders General Manager Dave Ziegler and Coach Josh McDaniels found their quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo, and we break down what this means.

HENDERSON, Nev.--Las Vegas Raiders General Manager Dave Ziegler and Coach Josh McDaniels have a plan. While few may be privy to the plan, it is quickly unfolding.

Moments ago, I broke the news that not only are teams calling the Raiders about trading for wide receiver Hunter Renfrow but that the Raiders are listening.

This comes after the Raiders signed new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and added three free agents--cornerback Brandon Facyson, safety Marcus Epps and wide receiver Jakob Meyers --and they aren't done.

In this podcast, we break down the addition of Jimmy Garoppolo. I have written extensively that he is a very good football player, but his inability to stay healthy overshadows his ability as a quarterback.

Outspoken San Franciso 49ers beat writer from All 49ers, Grant Cohn, has covered Garopollo during his time in the Bay. We will discuss Graroppolo's fall from grace with 49ers management.

What went wrong? How much did Jimmy Garoppolo's inability to stay healthy have to do with the Niners letting him leave?

Is Garopollo a true upgrade from Derek Carr?

What is Garoppolo like in the locker room?  Off of the field?

If you want to view this trade from the inside, this Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast is the one you can't miss watching today.
