Garoppolo reportedly will not appeal the ban and will miss the first two games of the 2024 NFL season.
The Raiders are expected to release Garoppolo in the offseason before he is due an $11.25 million roster bonus kicks in next month. However, there is time for Las Vegas to find a trade partner — that team would be on the hook for the remaining two years of Garoppolo’s deal.
Garoppolo, a Chicago native, made seven appearances for the Raiders last season — with six starts. He went 3-3, completing 66% of his passes with seven touchdowns against nine interceptions.
