Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be available for the beginning of training camp this week after passing his physical Sunday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Garoppolo failed a physical upon joining Las Vegas as a free agent in March, with team doctors determining that he’d require another surgery to address the foot injury that ended his 2022 season. The Raiders subsequently reworked his contract in a manner that gave them the ability to walk away from the deal unless he was cleared by the medical staff.
The original agreement called for Garoppolo to receive an $11.25-million signing bonus and an $11.25-million base salary in his first season with the team, according to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio. However, as part of the reworked agreement, the entire signing bonus was folded into a $22.5-million base salary effectively made dependent on Garoppolo’s recovery.
