Browns will still try to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, source says, and now have extra 2nd rounder

His swarthy Italian good looks are just too much for Belichick to ~?~ say goodbye ~?~ to.

BB knows his value. Don't be surprised if he's franchised next year.

He'll be gone soon enough for #12 and a couple seconds, be patient grassshoppers.

I'll be surprised. If Cleveland offers their 12 and a couple of 2nd's I think he's gone. And it looks like they are loading up to do something like that. But I'm as good as Volin and have about as many sources so take that FWIW.

Does it mean anything? This is the time where big moves happen and you are hearing about everything but the only rumor you haven't heard much of all week has been Jimmy G. It seems to be on the back burner with a deal out there no one is matching with no movement.

Just worth pointing out.

This would happen close to the draft not during free agency IMO

If Jimmy D is deafening, I highly recommend he learn American Sign Language.

He could start with this:

Learn Sign Language (ASL) – Start ASL

On the bright side, he'd be immune to crowd noise and wouldn't be affected if there's issue with the helmet communication.

Cleveland's draft picks over the next two seasons.

2017: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6
2018: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7

Make them pay Bill.

I don't think that'll be enough. The Pats reportedly are asking for two first-rounders which is the same as what it would take to pry him loose from the franchise tag next year. That might be more than just coincidence.

The more and more i see the picks they have...the more and more I see him gone

Agreed it'll b A Godfather deal

Never trade the next Tom Brady

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Keeping Jimmy is going to be a costly mistake if they lose him in 12 months.

I don't think a year of insurance is worth losing a high first over and maybe more over.

 

[PATSNUTme]

This dance will go on until a few days before the draft. Nothing is going to happen, other than media talk, until then.

 

[Tony2046]

Never trade the next Tom Brady

Especially when he is "twice as good as Brady".

I'm just still stunned at the money Mike Glennon is getting from Chicago. It makes no sense, he sucks. I'd rather go with Matt Barkley if I was them, at least he's got some talent. But Jimmy G would've been perfect for them.

I thought so too at first, but then I looked at the QB market.

In terms of average per year, Glennon's deal would make him the 24th-highest paid QB last year, just behind Kaepernick and Dalton, just ahead of Fitzpatrick and RGIII.

He hasn't played in a while, but his upside is more than any of those 4 guys at this point so why not roll the dice? If you're a team like Chicago and you're not contending for a Super Bowl berth this year, why wouldn't you see if you can test out Glennon and see if there's anything there? It seems like a lot of the guaranteed money will be in year 1, so it's not like this will strangle the franchise long-term.

Jimmy G is obviously a more intriguing prospect, but if you're the Bears, do you trade this year's first and next year's as well for him, or do you use some of your $60M+ cap space on a decent QB with some potential upside, and draft two blue chippers, and potentially get to sign Jimmy as a free agent next year?
