Jimmy Garoppolo Suspended Two Games for PED Violation, Raiders Expected to Release QB

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo faces a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's PED policy, with his release from the team anticipated before a significant roster bonus is due.

Garoppolo's suspension stems from using a prescribed medication without a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption.
The Raiders are expected to release Garoppolo before he is due an $11.25 million roster bonus in mid-March.
Garoppolo signed a three-year, $72.75 million contract with the Raiders last offseason but was benched in favor of rookie Aidan O'Connell.
The quarterback's future in the NFL remains uncertain, with potential interest from teams needing a veteran backup.
Garoppolo will be allowed to participate in all offseason activities and training camp with any team he signs with, despite the suspension.
