Jimmy Garoppolo's contract gives Raiders protection against QBs injured foot, per report
The contract Jimmy Garoppolo signed with the Las Vegas Raiders gives the franchise some protection against the quarterback's injured left foot, according to a report.
Pro Football Talk obtained a copy of Garoppolo's Raiders contract and reported that it contains a waiver and release clause, Addendum G, that is located at the very end of the deal.
According to PFT, the clause states that Garoppolo, who broke his foot in a Week 13 game in December while a member of the San Francisco 49ers, would not pass the physical required to certify the contract "because of a preexisting medal and middle cuneiform and a fracture of the base of the second metatarsal in the Players left foot and that the Club would not enter into an NFL Player Contract with Player."
The addendum, however, offers Las Vegas the protection to terminate the contract without having to pay Garoppolo "for any reason related to the Waiver and Release attached as Addendum G."
