Jimmy Garoppolo landing spots assessed as quarterback awaits next move
Jimmy Garoppolo has been released by the Las Vegas Raiders following his recent suspension for violating the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy
Jimmy Garoppolo, the 32 year old quarterback, is weighing up his next move in NFL after the Las Vegas Raiders made the decision to release him.
It comes after his recent suspension for breaking the NFL’s rules about Performance Enhancing Substances. Garoppolo was suspended for two games next season because he used a prescribed drug without getting the right permission from the league
The Raiders’ decision to let go of the quarterback is expected to save them £8.8million. This is because his doping violation means they don’t have to pay his guaranteed salary for 2024. Garoppolo first signed a three-year contract worth £57million with the team in March 2023. This was when Josh McDaniels was head coach before Antonio Pierce took over.
Garoppolo, who used to play for the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots, threw for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns, and nine interceptions in seven games. He won four of these games and helped Las Vegas finish second in the AFC West with a record of 8-9 in 2023.
Aidan O’Connell filled in for the injured Garoppolo. Now that Garoppolo is a free agent and several NFL teams need an experienced player for 2024, Daily Mirror Sport US looks at three possible places where Garoppolo could end up.
