Jimmy Garoppolo has been suspended for two games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug (PED) policy. This suspension will result in him losing $11.25 million in guaranteed salary for the 2024 season.
The Raiders were reportedly planning to release Garoppolo before his $11.25 million roster bonus became due next month. However, the suspension allows them to void his guaranteed salary for the 2024 season.
This decision is a financial benefit for the Raiders, but it is also a significant loss for Garoppolo.
