Jimmy Garoppolo reportedly suspended 2 games for violating NFL's Performance Enhancing Substances policy

The NFL has suspended Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo two games for violating the league's Performance Enhancing Substances policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Garoppolo reportedly used a prescribed medication without having a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption.

According to Schefter, Garoppolo will not appeal the suspension and will miss the first two games of the 2024-25 NFL season.

Which team Garoppolo will be on when he serves the suspension is yet to be determined. The Raiders are expected to cut the 32-year-old next month before he's due an $11.25 million roster bonus.

NFL rules state that Garoppolo is allowed to take part in offseason activities and training camp after signing with a new team. Once the regular season starts, he is not permitted to be a participant for the duration of his two-week suspension.

Because of this, his $11.25 million guaranteed salary for next year becomes non-guaranteed.

Is that standard for first offense or is there degrees for the substance used?
Two games doesn't seem normal for 'roids.
