The Los Angeles Rams have signed quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million with the possibility of earning an additional $12 million in incentives, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The contract was announced on Tuesday after Garoppolo agreed to terms and filed his paperwork with the league.
Garoppolo is suspended for two games at the start of the 2024 season due to a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. He messed up his Therapeutic Use Exemption, which led to his suspension. The Rams signed Garoppolo as their backup quarterback this offseason and he will participate in the team's offseason program before going on the suspended list for two weeks at the start of the season.
Garoppolo views playing under Sean McVay as a chance to revamp his credibility around the NFL. He originally entered the league as a second-round pick out of Eastern Illinois in 2014 and has played for three different teams throughout his career, including San Francisco from 2015 to 2018 and Las Vegas last season.
The Rams hope that Stafford will be able to play through injuries again. He missed one game in 2023 due to injury and sat out the regular season finale with a playoff ticket already punched. In 2022, he missed eight games as the Rams seasons sputtered.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Garoppolo's suspension was due to a mistake with his Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE), but this contradicts previous reports stating that he had been using performance-enhancing substances for years. Secondly, the article quotes Garoppolo as saying 'I hate to joke about it', which implies that what he said was not meant to be taken seriously, despite being reported on by a reputable news outlet. Thirdly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'bad timing' and 'one of those situations', implying that Garoppolo is somehow responsible for his suspension when it is clear that this is not the case.
Garoppolo quotes 'I hate to joke about it', which implies that what he said was not meant to be taken seriously, despite being reported on by a reputable news outlet. This is therefore deceptive.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states that the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances is a valid reason for Garoppolo's suspension. The author does not provide any evidence or context about the specific substance that Garoppolo tested positive for, making this statement vague and unsupported.
The article states that 'I mean, just messed up the TUE,' which implies a mistake was made. However, there is no evidence to suggest that Garoppolo intentionally violated any rules or regulations.
Bias

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Garoppolo's suspension was because he 'messed up' his therapeutic use exemption when he first got to Las Vegas. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and it implies that Garoppolo intentionally violated the policy which may not be true.

However, this statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and it implies that Garoppolo intentionally violated the policy which may not be true.
The author states that Garoppolo had a couple of different options in free agency but talking to Rams coach Sean McVay 'really sealed the deal' on his decision to sign with Los Angeles. This statement is misleading as it implies that McVay was the only factor in Garoppolo's decision when there may have been other factors at play.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it quotes Sarah Barshop as saying that Garoppolo's two-game suspension was because he 'messed up the therapeutic use exemption'. This implies that there is some sort of objective standard for what constitutes a valid therapeutic use exemption, which may not be true. Additionally, the article contains an informal fallacy when it quotes Garoppolo saying that his suspension was because he 'messed up' the TUE without providing any context or explanation for what this means. This could potentially mislead readers into thinking that Garoppolo intentionally violated the policy, which may not be true.
