Apparently the Browns were quite interested in Jimmy G. But the Pats wanted to give him a better situation. So they took less compensation then they could have gotten from Cleveland.
Adam Schefter: Browns badly wanted Jimmy Garoppolo, but Patriots more comfortable with 49ers
If true this explains a lot. And you've got to respect BB for doing right by Jimmy, even if it wasn't the most optimal return. And now Jimmy G is looking great in San Francisco as their starting QB. Looks like they got a steal because they built an organization that was a better 'situation' for Jimmy to come into.
How do you guys feel, did BB make the right move by not trading him to a dumpster dive organization like the Browns? Should they have tried to drive up the price for Jimmy by starting a bidding war, or was it just the right thing to do. The compensation wasn't the highest but it was pretty decent -- a high 2nd round pick in the upcoming draft.
