Jimmy Garoppolo Had To Rework Contract With Raiders Over Foot

May 28, 2023 9:43 PM

When Jimmy Garoppolo signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, he failed his physical due to the foot injury he suffered during the 2022 season. Garoppolo had to rework his contract and also underwent surgery.

As originally negotiated, Garoppolo had an $11.25 million signing bonus and a base salary of $11.25 million for 2023. The foot injury resulted in the Raiders removing the signing bonus, with the full $22.5 million becoming base salary in 2023.

He won’t get any of it until he passes a physical. In the interim, the Raiders can cut him “for any reason related” to Addendum G.

Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy Optimistic About Week 1 Return

May 24, 2023 9:53 AM

The San Francisco 49ers don't know for sure when Brock Purdy will be ready to play football, but both the quarterback and Kyle Shanahan are optimistic about a Week 1 return.

"We're hoping for Week 1 and we feel pretty optimistic about that," Shanahan said. "That's what we're hoping for. ... Usually you've got to come back before that to make that goal and that's kind of the goal we're hoping for and don't have any reason to think different."

Purdy had the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow repaired March 10 after suffering the injury in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 29.

Initial estimates for a timeline were five to seven months but the Niners have maintained all along that they will have a better idea on a return date once Purdy begins a throwing program at the 12-week mark.

He will hit the 12-week mark on June 2.

Brock Purdy On Track To 'Start Lobbing A Football' In A Few Weeks

May 5, 2023 9:29 AM

Brock Purdy remains on track in his rehabilitation from elbow surgery.

Immediately following surgery, Purdy's timeline had him beginning to throw in early June. San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch confirmed that the quarterback is on pace to hit that mark.

"I just got a report from the trainers," Lynch said. "So Week 12, that's where he can actually go out, start lobbing a football. And according to the surgeon, you start getting a little better read on exactly where he's at right about then.

"I think that's just kind of an indicator of where he's at. And then obviously you have to work up your strength, your stamina, you have to increase reps, distance, all those things. But that's going to be well thought out, and he's doing well. I think you just take it day by day. It's cliché, but it's the best thing you can do, and he's done a great job of doing that."
