Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was suspended two games for the 2024 NFL season for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substances policy. He is also expected to be released by the Raiders organization.
Garoppolo signed with the Raiders last season, reuniting with former Raiders coach Josh McDaniels. He played in six games and started in seven of them. He tallied 1,205 passing yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions.
The Illinois native got his start with the Patriots after being selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft.
This news was one of the first major stories of the NFL offseason. Predictably, Twitter had strong reactions to Garoppolo’s suspension, with many of them being absolutely ruthless.
If Jimmy Garoppolo is getting suspended a couple games for a PED violation, maybe he should seek a refund for false advertising of a product. Poor Jimmy G.
Yeah, I go for the low-hanging fruit sometimes.

You would think Jimmy Garoppolo would have a nearly iron clad case against having taken performance enhancing drugs

I actually give Jimmy Garoppolo a lot credit for taking steroids when he was given so much money to sit on his ass and disappoint people. Takes me back to taking adderall for algebra 2 and still failing.

You’re telling me that was Jimmy Garoppolo ON PED’s??

Just remember for all the people ragging on Jimmy Garoppolo, Peyton Manning admitted in a deposition that the media refuses to acknowledge that he had HGH delivered to his house. Don't be THAT hypocrite.

I wonder what PEDs jimmy Garoppolo is taking if he is always hurt. Not even the NFL believes the PEDs would help because they only gave him two games, which he was going to miss due to injury anyway. #NFL #RaiderNation

I'm surprised it hasn't been tough for him to find work based on….being Jimmy Garoppolo. If he isn't hurt, he's unbelievably average.
Why do teams keep paying him… https://t.co/XfzXdLZhV5

Imagine breaking the rules to enhance your performance and your performance not enhancing.
