Reports indicate that the Raiders are expected to release Garoppolo before the fifth day of the new league year in mid-March to avoid paying his roster bonus

With the suspension and potential release, Garoppolo's future as a starting quarterback remains uncertain. He might become a sought-after backup, but starting roles seem unlikely.
