Jimmy Garoppolo may not play for the New England Patriots anymore, but he’s still reaping the benefits of their Super Bowl run.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is still getting playoff bonuses from the Patriots, and Sunday’s New England win guaranteed him a $79,000 payday with more to come. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Garoppolo will have made at least $135,000 off the Patriots’ playoff successes even if they lose the Super Bowl, and would be in line for a total of $191,000 if they go on to win it.
For New England’s playoff wins and trip to Super Bowl LII, $79,000 in bonuses will be paid to 49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
Next up:
Patriots’ Super Bowl win: another $112,000
Patriots’ Super Bowl loss: another $56,000
Minimum takeaway: $135,000.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 22, 2018
Jimmy G got a move to a new franchise where he could start, allegedly started a since-denied rift among his former employers, and got paid despite not being on the team anymore. Not bad for a year’s work.
