The NFL suspended Las Vegas <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/raiders-qb-derek-carr-says-goodbye-after-9-seasons-says-he-gave-them-everything-he-had" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raiders</a> QB Jimmy Garoppolo for the first two games of the 2024 season over an alleged violation of the league&#8217;s drug rule.
Adam Schefter wrote Friday on <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1758536735288447017?s=20">X</a> that Garoppolo &#8220;is being suspended two games for violating the NFL&#8217;s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy, league sources told ESPN.&#8221;
&#8220;The policy violation is related to him using a prescribed medication without having a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption, per sources,&#8221; Schefter&#8217;s post added.
Garoppolo — who signed a 3-year contract with the Raiders in 2023 — will reportedly not appeal the decision, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39539618/sources-raiders-jimmy-garoppolo-gets-2-game-ban-violation">ESPN</a> reported.

A short time later, Schefter wrote on <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1758537195130888220?s=20">X</a> that the &#8220;Raiders are expected to release Jimmy Garoppolo before the fifth day of the new league year in mid-March, when he would earn an $11.25 million roster bonus, per sources.&#8221;
The suspension from the first two games of the 2024 regular season will apply to Garoppolo regardless of whether he&#8217;s with the Raiders or not, ESPN noted. 
Garoppolo signed on with the Raiders when it was being led by then-head coach Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler. McDaniels and Ziegler were let go mid-season and linebacker coach Antonio Pierce was made interim head coach.
In January, the Raiders announced that Pierce would be their full-time <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-working-on-deal-to-hire-antonio-pierce-as-full-time-head-coach">head coach</a> with Tom Telesco taking over as general manager. With new leadership in Vegas there&#8217;s reportedly no commitment to keeping Garoppolo, ESPN noted.

The two remaining quarterbacks on the Raiders roster are <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/4260394/aidan-oconnell">Aidan O&#8217;Connell</a> and veteran <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/12477/brian-hoyer">Brian Hoyer</a>, but the Raiders are expected to draft a quarterback, with some expecting the Las Vegas team to trade up from its 13th spot they currently hold in order to get a high-end QB.
Garoppolo previously played for the New England Patriots as well as the San Francisco 49ers. His best year with San Francisco was the 2019-2020 season when he helped take the team to Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs ended up beating the 49ers in the Super Bowl 31-20. Garoppolo took the team back to the playoffs and led the team to an NFC Championship in 2021. He signed on as a free agent in 2023 with the Raiders, where he finished the 2023 season with a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/jimmy-garoppolo-game-stats-2023">passer rating</a> of 77.7 with 1,205 yards, 7 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 7 games.
