Raiders May Release Jimmy Garoppolo in 2024, Creating Surprising Roster Shake-Up

Jimmy Garoppolo’s future with the Raiders is uncertain as he could be on the roster bubble for the 2024 NFL season. According to experts, Garoppolo is one of the quarterbacks who could potentially be released after this season. With a salary of $28.5 million per year, the Raiders would have to pay him an $11.25 million bonus to release him in March. The team won’t be able to save money from letting him go until after June 1. Despite previous reports, it seems unlikely that Garoppolo will return to the Raiders, and the team will have to explore other options at the quarterback position. One potential candidate is Aidan O’Connell, who has been gaining experience and learning from his time as a starter. O’Connell acknowledges the value of practice reps and is focused on the present rather than worrying about the future. As the Raiders navigate the offseason, they may consider pursuing a trade or drafting a rookie, but O’Connell is expected to be on the roster, either as a starter or backup.
