Raiders Require Garoppolo to Waive Rights to Foot Injury Before New Contract

Jimmy Garoppolo signed a three-year, $72.8 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders that includes a waiver addressing his left foot injury.
The waiver allows the Raiders to terminate Garoppolo's contract without pay for any reason related to the injury until he passes a physical and plays in a regular-season game.
Garoppolo underwent surgery for the foot injury in March and may miss offseason workouts and training camp.
There are questions about why Garoppolo didn't have surgery in December when he first suffered the injury.
Veteran Brian Hoyer has been working with the first-team offense while Garoppolo recovers.
