Difficult weekend for Jimmy Garoppolo. The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback has just been suspended for two games by the league for violating rules regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to Adam Shefter (ESPN).
Indeed, Jimmy G. allegedly used prohibited medications without having a prescription from a doctor. If this had been the case, then this would have allowed him to do so under the cover of a “therapeutic use exemption”.
And as bad news always comes flying, Tom Brady's former understudy could find himself without a contract. Still according to Adam Shefter, the Raiders should soon announce the dismissal of the quarterback, less than a year after his arrival. The player is the one who costs the franchise the most ($28.3 million in the 2024 payroll). The move would save 11.25 million.
The 2023 season was tricky for Jimmy Garoppolo, with 6 starts for 1,205 yards, 7 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.
At this point, Aidan O'Connell and Brian Hoyer are Las Vegas' other quarterbacks.
