Raiders Rumors: Insiders Wonder Why Jimmy Garoppolo Didn't Have Foot Surgery in Dec.

Some NFL insiders wonder why Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who suffered a season-ending foot injury last December as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, didn't get surgery for the ailment until March.

That news is per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, who wrote the following in part:

"It's now clear that Garoppolo wasn't malingering. It's also now clear that he should have had the surgery in December.

"By the time Garoppolo became a free agent, the foot had not healed. It had not healed to the point at which the Raiders refused to pay him an $11.
