49ers’ farewell to Jimmy Garoppolo: This time it’s for real (we’re pretty sure)

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:52 GMT

Jimmy Garoppolo is finally hitting the NFL’s marketplace.He could have done so a year ago. Instead, he accepted a pay cut on a restructured and reduced contract with a repaired throwing shoulder.He could have fled in 2018. Instead, the 49ers kept him, at the cost of a then-record contract for a quarterback.Upon signing that deal (five years, $137.5 million), Garoppolo said: “We have one goal in mind, and that’s to get to a Super Bowl and win it.”Five years have come and gone. What a spectacle it was, complete with three trips to the playoffs, but nary a Super Bowl win to show for what also was an injury-strewn tenure.So, Garoppolo officially becomes a free agent Wednesday for the first time in an NFL career that began in 2014 as a New England Patriots second-round draft pick. Monday marks the launch of free agency negotiations, and deals can’t be ratified until as early as 1 p.m. Wednesday.“A lot of people want to talk about what we didn’t accomplish with him. What I know is w...

But game also meant something special to DiVincenzo. Make no mistake, he wanted to stick a win on his former team.“I take pride and I take it personally,” DiVincenzo...

Yellen says no federal bailout for Silicon Valley Bank

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:52 GMT

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday that the federal government would not bail out Silicon Valley Bank, but is working to help depositors who are concerned about their money.The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures deposits up to $250,000, but many of the companies and wealthy people who used the bank — known for its relationships with technology startups and venture capital — had more than that amount in their account. There are fears that some workers across the country won’t receive their paychecks.Yellen, in an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” provided few details on the government’s next steps. But she emphasized that the situation was much different from the financial crisis almost 15 years ago, which led to bank bailouts to protect the industry.“We’re not going to do that again,” she said. “But we are concerned about depositors, and we’re focused on trying to meet their ...
