Patriots Player Departure Jimmy Garoppolo traded to SF for 2018 2nd round draft pick

Good... now all the trade Brady talk can stop

Biggest shock. Sad day.

Happy for Jimmy. One of best possible spots.

I wonder what happened for TB insurance and can't waste a team on QB injury.
I guess BB started to believe in the power of prayer all of a sudden.

 

[ForThoseAboutToRock]

wow. @ScottishPatriots good job posting the actual Shefter Twitter (and not a dupe).

Shocking if it's really only 1 2nd rounder coming back (one that is likely to be in the 30's, but still....)

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

I do not mind the return that much... I just do not get the timing at all.

Well, it had been rumoured that the actual offers were much less then what the public thought. This confirms it. It also confirms Brady is here for the foreseeable future. The pick will be at the top of the 2nd so we can get a good player there. The question is, who the hell is our backup? Hoyer coming back in this deal?

Best of luck to Jimmy G. He learnt from the best. Hopefully he goes on to a have a great career.

Something big has to be happening. Ty Hilton???

I doubt it will be another WR. Could be a defensive player. But BB likes to shock the world around this time. So you never know

 

[Joey007]

I mean, at least this is almost a 1st rounder, but... huh???

Maybe BB likes some QBs coming in next years draft? That way he can keep one of them on the roster for cheap over the next four years after this? That's one theory, otherwise this is a bit baffling.

Only thing I can say is that's supper annoying that you can't even get more for him than you spent on him.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Brady has been taking a lot of hits this season. I don't like this move at all. They could have traded this guy in the offseason unless they're trading for a major piece here.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

This is bull ****. If you have a true successor, which we did, you pay them both and deal with it.

brady is going to be around for 4 more seasons. there was zero chance garoppolo stays at the end of this year.

 

[shmessy]

Geez, if he waited another day, maybe he could have had a 3RD pick in 2023........

Here comes Kaepernick!!!!!!!!!

Should have taken Cleveland's offer. LOL at everyone that thought he was worth 2 #1's

We don’t know what if anything Cleveland offered

 

[JPsPats]

Don’t forget this draft class is stacked at qb so this could also be ammo to draft another solid qb to put behind Brady.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

before we jump the gun, let's see what bill does with this pick. could be traded for something big.

 

[QB12]

Interesting it’s not on pft.com

 

[Joey007]

I do not mind the return that much... I just do not get the timing at all.

If Brady got hurt and had to miss some time, this will kill. Jimmy could definitely keep the ship afloat.

I am happy for Jimmy that he'll finally get his chance.

 

[FCB02062]

U ****ing kidding me? They traded a future starter for a 2018 3d and 4 6ths?

 

[Mack Herron]

Not happy. But if he could have gotten more, he would have. Couldn't afford Brady and Garoppolo, and this was the best deal available. For now, we have no backup QB. What a change from preseason.

 

[heavyde050]

Just wow. Only a 2nd rounder. Doesn't seem near enough. I know the pick will be top 3 in round 2, but Jimmy was pick 62. So BB gained about 30 spots in the draft?
I guess we will see what happens.

 

[Ring 6]

Guessing hoyer will come here as the backup
