Patriots shopping Garoppolo

[Andrew Luck fan club]

They want a 1st.. I'm sure someone will give em one. 

[JimJaime]

Any link? I have not heard this at all. Last I heard they wanted a 1st and a 4th and the rumor was that Cleveland was thinking sending them their 2nd and 5th.. which would be awesome!! Lol

[Valpo2004]

Seems like the Pats do this a lot.  Draft backup quarterbacks and trade them away.

 

Honestly I wouldn't go for it if my team needed a QB.  Jimmy G only played a small amount and besides he was looking good with Belichek as his coach.

 

Matt Cassel looked really good in a similar situation.  Belichek makes everyone look good. 

[Luck is Good]

Completely agree. Garappolo has proven that he can play football. And I think he would be a much better get than what we thought Osweiler was at the time. Jets, Bears, 49ers and Browns would definitely have an interest in him

People forget Cassel had a dang good first year in KC then the wheels came off.

Another unproven QB who might seem like the solution to a team's problems. I'm sure he'll somehow end up starting somewhere next season. There isn't much confidence in the quarterbacks coming out of college this year.

The only QB I see being somewhat good this year is Watson.

Everyone who leaves the Patriots get paid, because the rest of the league think they are good. And they all happy when they leave! But.. they all die without super powers.. I mean Wes Welker survived a year.. please let me know of others who have flourished, I'm not being a jerk I'm just not aware

Let's be fair, Wee Walker was the only one left of his own accord. Cassel was traded, Hoyer and Mallet were cut. So it's not like they made a choice and left they were moved or unceramonally cut. The emperor is a heartless man.

Seymour had a couple of pro bowl seasons with the raiders.  Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins have played well for their new teams.   

[NannyMcafee]

The patriots are the best scheme based team in the league. You would be an * to trade such a high price. The mind game the patriots play on the rest of the league is pretty legit. They are feared and respected thus why they win so much. Plus, they have a HOF staff that knows how to scheme to their players strengths. Unlike nearly every other team. It does help when almost the entire NFL hasn't been elite at all this year. It's been a pretty boring season thus far in those terms. 

[jet1968]

I loved watching him at EIU. He just hasnt played enough at the pro level to get a good evaluation on him for a 1st round pick

[King Colt]

If this is true and Brady will be 40 on his next birthday what does that tell you about Hoody's confidence in his team and staff? Actually, I have not heard of this in the past couple months.

Somebody will be dumb enough to give the patriots a 1st rounder. That's what the pats are looking for. They always have 2 first round picks.

Sent from my SM-G935T *

Supposedly the rumor is the Browns want to trade for Jimmy G. And MAY be willing use their 2nd first to get him.

I read somewhere that Shanahan "really liked" him coming out of the draft.  Maybe they'd like to offer their 2nd overall, lol.

Cassell was a big one. They traded Mallett in 2014 for a conditional 2016, which wound up being a 7th rounder, so that was pretty inconsequential.

 

Like you, I wouldn't give them anything noteworthy for Jimmy G.

Isnt their lickn1st overall? I'd take that lmao..  and then get a stud D player for cheap for 4 years.. lol

[chad72]

Browns might want to give up the latter second rounder of theirs at best since they seem to be showing interest in Garropolo. However, I wouldn't give up anything more than a 3rd if I were them.

[JoshC]

They got the 2nd overall (i.e. Niners).  Wonder if the Browns would like to snipe them and offer their 1st overall.  That be just about as mind-blowing as some trade proposal being thrown around by one of the radio stations in Houston:  JG in exchange for JJ Watt and Houston`s 1st round pick.

I wrap Jimmy G. In a bow and kiss him on the cheek and send him on his way for that!  JJ Watt would fill the one glaring need onnD that the Pats have..

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised BB is doing this because Brady can't play forever & Bill's son works on the team in a scouting capacity of some sort. 

 

Look, Bill has earned the right to walk away anytime he wants from the NFL so has Tom. I respect both men's incredible achievements in this league regardless of my views on Deflate Gate. Will I hold it over their heads for all eternity? No, because you don't play in 7 SBs by accident. Both men are always competitive & always prepared. 

 

Jimmy G. is a good kid with a nice skill set who will only grow & improve. He's much better then Matt Cassel ever was & his thresh hold for success outside of NE will be considerably high.
