• Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Reinstated from suspension

  09/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  The NFL reinstated Garoppolo from his two-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Garoppolo was suspended for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy before the season, and he's now been reinstated after missing the Rams' first two games. Now that he's returned from suspension, expect Garoppolo to serve as the Rams' No. 2 quarterback behind Matthew Stafford, with Stetson Bennett dropping to third on the depth chart.

  The Rams and Garoppolo (suspension) agreed to a one-year contract Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Garoppolo didn't exactly uphold the three-year contract he signed with the Raiders last March, appearing in just seven games due to injury and an eventual benching for rookie QB Aidan O'Connell after Week 8. Overall, Garoppolo completed 110 of 169 passes (65.1 percent) for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions in his stint with the silver and black. The current offseason has included a two-game suspension because of a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, but Garoppolo figures to serve as Matthew Stafford's backup Week 3 and beyond in the coming campaign once the former completes the ban.

• Jimmy Garoppolo: Cut loose by Las Vegas

  03/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Raiders released Garoppolo (suspension) on Wednesday. Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, Las Vegas also cut Hunter Renfrow, with the moves set to save the Raiders more than $19 million against their salary cap. Garoppolo thus is free to sign with another team, but wherever he lands, the veteran quarterback will be forced to sit out the first two games of the 2024 season due to a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy. With Garoppolo no longer in the mix for Las Vegas, Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew now sit atop the depth chart at quarterback.

• Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo: Possibly one-and-done in Las Vegas

  01/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Garoppolo completed 110 of 169 pass attempts for 1,205 yards and seven touchdowns to nine interceptions across seven games in his first season as a Raider. He also rushed 20 times for 39 yards and one lost fumble. Garoppolo, who'd been demoted from the starting quarterback role by interim head coach Antonio Pierce after a dismal Week 8 performance against the Lions, made a brief appearance in the Raiders' Week 18 win over the Broncos when rookie Aidan O'Connell exited the contest for three snaps with a finger injury. Garoppolo was sacked on a third down to end his lone drive in three-and-out fashion, which symbolized his disappointing 2023 campaign. While the Raiders are slated to fill their permanent general manager and head coaching positions in 2024, Garoppolo could be on the move to another franchise for a fresh start at 32 years old.

• Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo: Returns to full practice

  10/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  Garoppolo (back) practiced fully Friday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports. After not practicing at all last week and being inactive for the Raiders' loss to the Bears, Garoppolo returned to the field Thursday as a limited participant. A full practice Friday sets the stage for the quarterback to return to the starting role Monday against the Lions, making him a Week 8 lineup option for those in deeper formats or in leagues that start two quarterbacks. In the five games he's played this season, Garoppolo has posted a 7:8 TD:INT and 1,079 passing yards.
