Jimmy Garoppolo says the decision to stay with the Rams as Matthew Stafford's backup wasn't a difficult one to make.

Garoppolo mentioned the team's "core players" as big reasons for his return, as well as general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay. Garoppolo didn't specify which players he meant, but he said that they were welcoming, hardworking and meshed well with the veteran quarterback in his first season with the Rams.

The quarterback, who had offers from other teams, says ‘it’s more about the situation than the opportunity’ as he prepares to back up Matthew Stafford again
