Lombardi believes Pats will trade Garoppolo to the Browns

[Kontradiction]

Take from that what you will. I would hope that it would be for a first.

#1 overall? I'd do that in a heartbeat. With rookie contracts capped-out, high draft picks more valuable than ever. Haven't kept abreast of top college picks this year. No idea of the possibilities

NFL is a crazy place where sometimes Bradford goes for a 1st. So, it isn't too far out there to suggest JG could be dealt to a QB deprived team holding many quality picks in 2017.

Having said that : JG is making SUPER reasonable money next year. Yes, there is then the risk he will be more difficult to move in 2018, but that needs to be a consideration.

Cassel for Chung. Then Chung leaves a "semi-bust". Then Chung returns and makes that trade great again. You never know what you'll get.

This just his knowledge of both teams thoughts or actual reason he thinks it'll happen?

JG's better than any QB coming out. My opinion. I will be dissapointed if they don't get anything good for him should they trade him.

 

[jimnance]

Take all speculation with a major grain of salt. But Pats are going to get a lot of calls about jg this off season. A 1st rounder is not farfetched

 

[Nunchucks]

Not first overall.

If it happens it would be for their second and a forth/fifth

but McDaniels would have to be their new coach (for it to make any sense)

 

[RayClay]

A knowledgeable opinion only. Says "perhaps"

I am not taking that package

As would I. That said, I don't think they'd give that up for Garoppolo. My guess is it would be their first round pick in next year's draft if that panned out.

Nope. Just his opinion.

Why would josh leave for the browns? Idk if that's the right job for him

Selling Jimmy G is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

The Jimmy G auction will allow NE to replenish at positions that require premium talent / replace pricey open market difference makers jettisoned in the past 8 months.

Wheeling Dealing BB has been quite tame in recent years, but because of NFL confiscation, I expect BB to operate in hyper-speed this offseason and Jimmy G compensation will be the foundation of his fortification strategy.

There is a lot of talent on the browns, and with JG as a qb he knows, the transition would be smoother

Havent looked at any mocks and haven't followed college enough to know who the top qbs and overall top 1-5 picks are. That being said, plenty of #1 overall picks have been spent on far worse qbs than jg. In the NFL you gotta have at least a decent qb. There aren't that many. It only takes one desperate team. An early 1st rounder(top 10) is reasonable. I wouldn't trade him for less unless there's a quality vet included

 

[BelichickFan]

At best it would be Philly #1 not 1.1. More likely would be 2.1 + multiple other picks across 2017 & 2018 as Browns have tons of picks. I still think Bears make most sense, for something like 2017 #2 and 2018 #1.

Not saying that the Pats should do it, but what if the Pats decided to trade Brady instead of JG. What could they get for him?

 

[TinhWoodhead]

I want jymmy to stay but a 1st is hard to pass up..

They could get a very sad fan base. I really like JG but they'd better not trade Brady.
