The very strange situation regarding the failed effort by former Duke basketball and NBA player Brian Davis to buy the Washington Commanders could get more strange, sooner than later.

The group that failed to buy the Commanders is suing Bank of America for $500 billion.

Wonder why they stopped at $500 billion? Why not $500 bazillion?

This is pretty crazy. PFT obtained a copy of Jimmy G's contract and there is a waiver that would allow the Raiders to cut him without paying him anything, including the signing bonus. His foot injury honestly sounds pretty bad based on the verbiage of the contract.

Worth reading the whole thing, but a couple quotes:

Addendum G is a waiver and release. In the first paragraph, the waiver acknowledges that, without it, Garoppolo would not pass the team’s physical “because of a preexisting medal and middle cuneiform and a fracture of the base of the second metatarsal in the Player’s left foot and that the Club would not enter into an NFL Player Contract with Player.” It’s the injury he suffered during the 2022 regular season, opening the door for Brock Purdy to play.

In the second paragraph, Garoppolo expressly acknowledges and waives the risk of further injury, including potential “permanent disability” by continuing his career. “Player also understands that such condition has decreased his ability to play professional football,” the waiver states, “and that continuing to play professional football may result in deterioration, aggravation, or re-injury of the existing conditions rendering Player physically unable to perform the services that would be required of Player by an NFL Player Contract.”

The contract preserves the team’s ability to terminate the agreement with no further obligation, “for any reason related to the Waiver and Release attached as Addendum G.” The waiver becomes null and void if at any time during the 2023 season, Garoppolo passes a physical exam, is active for at least one regular-season game, and does not suffer re-injury to his left foot in the manner described in Addendum G.

Jimmy has his flaws, not the least of which is he's as fragile as a faberge egg. He's a winner, plain and simple, but the homie cannot stay healthy.

Yeah, dude is as injury prone as it gets. I just think it's crazy that they're talking about potential permanent disability and having Jimmy acknowledge that he is already incapable of playing football at the same level. Jimmy G isn't good enough to not be able to play at the same level and be a quality starter. If he passes a physical, this has disaster written all over it for everyone.
