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

[Deus Irae]

If Jimmy was that good he wouldn't have been traded

Depends on what you mean by "that good", I guess.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Someone mentioned Carlos Dunlap in the trade thread. Perfect because of the money he's making this year and the following year.

We could have just drafted him in 2010 instead of his teammate jermaine cunningham

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Tim Tebow.

T.Y. Hilton will be a Patriot before tomorrows deadline.

Joey Bosa to the Patriots for a 6th rounder.

Really don't get the trade. Pats sock puppets (Shefter and Rappaport) claim it will take a "kings ransom" around draft time and now Crapsheet comes out and says the Browns really didn't offer a 1st only a second. I don't know what to believe other than this was terrible timing. We drafted him in the second and developed him for 3.5 years only to trade him to break even? I'd get it if we got back a player that they thought could help us make a run this year.

The only thing I like about this means that the Pats can franchise Butler.

I was never nearly as high on Jimmy G as many here, but I think the Pats could have gotten much more this past offseason.

If Jimmy was that good he wouldn't have been traded

or he didn't want to resign and franchising him with Brady around means we have to trade him or we have a Cousins situation

and we can now franchise Butler if we have to

So if I understand this right, the Pat's originally had Hoyer included in the trade and then they rembered that Homer would count against the comp pick formula and would cancel out the 4th red pick that they are going to get for Bennett

Can somebody explain this a little more? Why would trading one player for another count against the comp pick formula?

This is the NFL superplan,
trade away any sense of future QB twice, tick
take a 5th round rated saftey in the 2nd
sign Kap, to piss of the Patriots fans so they dont go to games.
Team crisis
finish 6-11

Aaaarrrgghhh!

Absolutely fuming, would rather let him go in off season for nothing

Huh?

 

[Ring 6]

Kap would suck in this system. That's why he wouldn't end up here despite your political bs ranting that no one gives a **** about.

Krapernick would suck in any system that played in the nfl

 

[Brady_Moss]

I don't care what anyone thinks!! I WANT KAP!!! ?

 

[Fore2213]

Please please please stop with the....."bring in kaperDICK" garbage!!! I notice he is quite a bit "smaller" since coming off the juice! Not to mention he has no toes left from shooting himself in the foot so many times because he can't keep is mouth shut! I'd rather they sign tony Eason, Marc Wilson, tommy Hodsen or Scot Secules before they brought that moron in!! He's done....... Walmart is hiring these days Colin, you can apply online!!!

We got back hoyer.

Yeah, maybe.

Luckily we're a long way off from actual franchise tag talk. For this thread's sake, the point is that whatever franchise tag decision is made this offseason, we don't have to consider giving it to JG.

According to rotoworld the Patriots' free agents this summer are:

Danny Amendola
Johnson Bademosi
Brandon Bolden
Rex Burkhead
Malcolm Butler
Nate Ebner
Cameron Fleming
Marquis Flowers
Brandon King
Dion Lewis
Cassius Marsh
Trevor Reilly
Matthew Slater
Nate Solder
LaAdrian Waddle

I can't see the franchise being used on any of those guys.

I don’t think it’s rught.
I think since hoyer contract is guaranteed if sf cuts him they pick up the rest of it. This way we don’t pay him at 5mill a year or whatever they paid him to be a starter, we just pay him the minimum and save cap space.

Could be used on Butler to hold for contract talks....at ~$14m if they intend to sign that’s a reasonable figure for a partial guarantee. Not saying they’d pay $14 aav, but could see them giving $20m+ in guarantees on something around $10-11m aav for 4 years

Butler?
We certainly weren’t going to pay jimmy g 25 mill to sit on the bench.

 

[patman12]

Seems straightforward to me. BB traded an asset that was selected at 62 and traded it for a high second round pick in a draft that has good QB value.

No matter what pundits or fans thought, JG was not going to net a first or multiple firsts midway thru a regular season.

We gotta hope Garcia turns out to be something. Can't mess with that OL.
