Jimmy Garoppolo is staying with the Los Angeles Rams to back up Matthew Stafford, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced the signing.

Garoppolo is 43-21 as a starter with the Patriots, 49ers, Raiders and Rams. He started one game last season.
