Jimmy Garoppolo traded from NE to the 49ers

[kumizi]

for their 2018 2nd round pick

 

[HungryLion]

Wow great deal for the niners. IMO.

Surprising considering that Brady is so old. I thought the pats would want to keep jimmy for when Brady retires.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

IF true I would have expected the Pats to get more for him. Who is their 3rd string QB? It was Brissett but they traded him to the Colts.

 

[SlammedZero]

I guess that quiets the Cousins to 49ers chatter.

 

[btcutter]

Basically 1st pick of 2nd round. Surprised he went so cheap when Brown went after him hard before last draft.

 

[Avery]

If Brady gets hurt, watch out.

 

[LoneStarDawg]

How many QB’s NE have left?? 1? Ha!

they can't afford two big money QB's and pretty sure this is the year they have to pay Garropolo or let him go.

It is true

 

[mattjames2010]

Won't be surprised if the Patriots make a move to get higher in round 1 to get their future QB.

 

[canters]

Wow, !! the Niners will continue to strugggle.

The Patriots don't even have another QB on the 53 or the practice squad.

Perhaps I laugh at 2nd round picks because I have seen enough blown on injured players and projects, but if Garoppolo is a solid starter a 2nd round pick is highway robbery.

Come on Cooper Rush baby!!! Make it rain someday for us!!!

Fair point I didn’t really take the salary cap ramifications into it.

Trade Kellen Moore to Patriots

Not much indication Brady is retiring anytime soon and Garoppolo is in the final year of his deal (and franchising a backup isn't a terribly viable option)

 

[Ghost12]

Basically 1st pick of 2nd round. Surprised he went so cheap when Brown went after him hard before last draft.

If he is any good, it won't be the first pick of the second round. He should be able to squeeze out a couple W's....

 

[Aven8]

Trade Kellen Moore to Patriots

They can come get him tonight if they want to for free. He's on the PS.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

If Brady got hurt, do you think Romo would take Bellichick's call?

Tough to call it highway robbery when he is 8 game (plus playoffs) away from being a free agent. Well, SF of course has the option to franchise him but NE didn't.
