The NFL world is buzzing with speculation after the league dropped a bombshell on Jimmy Garoppolo, the former New England Patriots quarterback, who is currently playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. Garoppolo will be sidelined for two games due to a violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug (PED) policy.
According to ESPN, Garoppolo’s suspension stems from his use of a prescribed medication without a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption. It’s a bureaucratic mouthful, but essentially, Jimmy G was caught in the crossfire of paperwork and red tape. The Raiders are now expected to part ways with Jimmy G.
Jimmy will likely be looking for a new home soon, and there will be plenty of rumors about a potential return to New England while the Patriots search for a franchise quarterback.
