Schefter: Source close to Patriots says he'd be "stunned" if New England traded Garoppolo

[TinhWoodhead]

I can see Jimmy being traded if the Pats are desperate and have needs but we have the best record in the league and will still be good for awhile, so I'd hold on to him.

If the brown's want him so bad they would give us a nice package. I would ask for the eagles pick and their 2018 first round pick. It's alot but they have tons of picks this year.

There is an absolute zero percent chance of that happening. As of right now I see the Patriots getting the Browns 2nd round pick, because its the first pick in the 2nd round and maybe a 4th/5th rounder for him.

But there is no chance in hell the Patriots are getting a top 10 pick and then another 1st round pick the year after. I mean that would be awesome if they did but its definitely not going to happen.

I'd keep him before trading him for that. Minimum I would take would be #2 this year, #2 next year and #3 either this year or next.

There is going to be alot of roster turn over this season. The Patriots will be a significantly different team next season. It usually all works out in the end but I would trade Jimmy while you can get the most in return for him.

It really depends if they have multiple teams bidding on him. I would take the 33rd pick and a 3rd rounder for Jimmy at minimum.

This upcoming draft class has no projected qb that can come in and turn a franchise around in his first year.

The Pats have leverage. They have a young, promising QB still on his rookie contract, that can come in and have an immediate impact on a team.

If I'm Bill, I would accept nothing less than a late 1st and a mid-round pick for Jimmy, or else I'm hanging up the phone

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

I have no say in this, but do want to point out that I hope Jimmy G succeeds. He seems like a nice guy that wants to live his dream. No matter where he ends up, I hope he ends up with a superbowl ring that he earns on his own one day.

Shef is reporting that the source would be stunned.

Not sure why this is newsworthy

It's not. It's pretty much non-news meant to grow the Schefter brand.

"Source 'close'..." what does that even really mean when it comes to the Pats? Could be some random ******* who lives in Foxboro. I mean, that's technically "close".

 

[varjao]

Schefter knows jack **** about the situation.

I can see BB waiting a little longer and trading Jimmy next year in the mid season for a 3rd. Loses value but can assess the situation and the future better.

 

[farn]

If it included something nice - like Cleveland's 2nd rounder in 2018, I'd totally take the first pic of the second round in 2017... chances are that 2018 second rounders would be in the top 35, making it a decent haul. Of course, I'd love more, but I think back to back top 5 second rounders is excellent value.

Of course, I am assuming Brady continues to play at a high level for a few more years, meaning JG's highest value on the market would be this offseason.

• How long will Brady play
• How good is JAG going to be
• How good is Brissett going to be
• Can we get JAG to stick around for an extra year or two, without kicking in the big bucks
• What can we get for JAG
• What can we get for Brady
• What's the best Christmas movie of all time

BB has to answer those questions, and more, to his best satisfaction. Once that's done, he'll be able to decide what to do about JAG.

Likely the most important decision of BB's tenure here.

Maybe BB also needs to ask himself questions re his own plans. He's even older than Brady.

Not me, there's a lot of value in keeping him another year if good offers aren't there. I'm all for trading him for good value but not dumping him just for the sake of it. If

- Tom Brady will play until 50
- Jimmy will be good, but not as good as Brady at 41
- Not enough tape on Jacoby and not enough games behind his belt when the offense is opened up
- Probably not two years, maybe one
- Probably something good looking at how weak the 2017 QB class is
- Probably somebody's entire team
- Anything except The Santa Clause. Movie is on so much

Ken,
Please step away from the radio for your own mental health.
Use Madam Secretary as your safe space for the next 4, maybe 8 years.
Happy Holidays!

Actually Game of Thrones is my safe place. Madam Secretary is where I go to watch how the department of state SHOULD work.

This is a good point here, in that this won't be a "market auction" whereby the Patriots will trade him to the highest bidder. There is also a threshold that must be reached where it makes sense for the team. If anything, I think Schefter tweet means that threshold is pretty high.

Adam Schefter: Person close to team would be ‘stunned’ if Patriots traded Jimmy Garoppolo


Given the weak QB class in the 2017 draft (and Brady showing no sign of decline) I'd be very surprised if the Pats didn't deal Garoppolo.

But as I've said in the past... Garoppolo is a solid talent and Brady's decline might come sooner than we realize. In which case, keeping Jimmy for another season on the final year of his rookie contract, could make sense from an insurance perspective.

Hard to imagine Brady slowing down.....but you never know

I am willing to keep him another year and lose the draft pic at that point. If he is really that good, and Brady goes down during next season, we will be glad we kept him. Brady will only lose the job to Jimmy because of injury, no other reason.

 

[mosslost]

Since all personnel decision are BB's, anyone who would have real knowledge over this matter is someone close to him. And I highly doubt BB would confide his plans to anybody, specially because no one can demand to know about this sort of thing in New England

This information is very useless, IMO. If someone had asked BB about Garoppolo's status, I bet he would never answer "yeah, we are looking to trade him". That doesn't match BB's personality and is a terrible business strategy, since it would most likely drive the price down.

It is obvious that Garoppolo is in the market for a trade. As it is obvious that we are not going to trade him for anything at all.

for 2 firsts they will trade him.

 

[mosslost]

He might even get extended here this offseason, and yea I'm not surpised they are not trading him, I mean with Brady being 40 next year say if Brady were to miss a few games or two who would you feel more comfortable holding it down in the mean time Jimmy or Jacoby? Obviously Jimmy considering how he played before he got hurt especially doing what he did without Gronk now imagine if he had him, the Arizona game would not have been as close and the Miami blowout would been bigger

why in the world would he sign here and extend this off season unless Brady was done...
