According to people familiar with the situation, Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, will face a two-game suspension for breaking the NFL’s rules regarding performance-enhancing drugs.
According to reports, Garroppolo’s usage of a prescription drug without a legitimate therapeutic use certificate from the league is the reason for the infraction.
The quarterback will miss the first two games of the following 2024 season since, according to sources, he decided not to appeal the suspension.
To make matters even more complicated, Garoppolo is anticipated to be released by the Raiders prior to the fifth day of the upcoming league season in mid-March.
The date aligns with a 2024 base pay guarantee of $11.25 million that may now be in jeopardy because of the ban.
After agreeing to a three-year, $72.75 million contract in March, Garoppolo will now have to deal with the team’s new coaching and management staff.
It appears that Tom Telesco is the general manager and Antonio Pierce is the head coach, hence there is no loyalty or dedication to Garoppolo.
They are purportedly looking to trade up from their current No. 13 pick in order to get another quarterback in the 2018 NFL draft.
