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.

That makes me suspect it may not be such a great deal for the Niners after all. The Patriots know Garoppolo.

How does cleveland not get in on this. They have a million picks and are terrible in the draft.

at least this guy can play.

Great freaking point. They literally have NO clue. I'm not sure why fans even go to the games anymore.....

shrewd move by BB. Gets a second rd pick for someone they would have to let go this offseason anyway.
BB probably figures he has at least 2 more years with Brady; so this draft I can see them looking real hard.

Smart for both teams. Pats get a pick from a guy they can't really use just yet, and the 49ers get a chance to see him play for a quarter season before heading into FA and the draft with a high pick. If he can play, great. If not, use the high pick on the QB and you have a backup or somebody you can flip for a 4th to some team that thinks they can get more out of him than you did. Either way, you don't waste a year and your good draft position figuring it out.

You already know Beathard can't play.

I suspect the Pats have a young QB in house to replace Garoppolo. Even if that's in doubt, that 2nd round pick might fulfill that need in 2018. It's likely Garoppolo could very well have stated his desire to be traded rather than waiting for Brady to retire. TB has already made abundantly clear his intentions to continue his career well into his forties.

It means Brady will be around for a few more years. At least he feels he can.
