The two most likely suitors for Garoppolo in a potential trade? The Cleveland Browns and the New Orleans Saints.

Here’s what Breer said in regards to the Saints possibly trading for Garoppolo, the back-up QB to Patriots QB Tom Brady:

“As for New Orleans, the Saints have been kicking tires on young quarterbacks through the past two draft cycles, were high on Garoppolo in 2014 and saw him in joint practices with New England the past two summers, and will have a 38-year-old Drew Brees going into a contract year in 2017.
Theoretically, they may like Garoppolo better than anyone in what’s expected to be a mediocre QB lot this spring, and could bring him aboard on his rookie deal for next year, then tag him in 2018 and do a long-term deal then. At any rate, this should all be interesting, and I’m willing to make an educated guess Belichick knew he was feeding into it last week.”

RUMOR CENTRAL: Saints to Trade for Jimmy Garoppolo?

"A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Yep I could totally see this happening. Another thing to keep in mind is that Mike Glennon will be a free agent after this season and Payton was high on him as well.

Didn't he play at Eastern Illinois ... same as Payton ... same as Tony Romo (Payton coached here in Dallas) ? ... hmm, very interesting.

For the record, I like Jimmy Garappolo's game. Wouldn't be a bad option.

I wouldn't mind this idea as long as we don't have to mortgage the farm! I can't see the Pats letting him go cheap though....

Garoppolo? If you could get him, maybe...

I tell you the guy we should have brought in this pass year is Brian Hoyer...

He'd be an incredible backup to Brees and make a great transition quarterback (2-3 seasons) at the very least...

Guy has had a series of bad breaks in bad situations...

Belichick originally signed him to the Pats and Brady has said he's got the goods...

I'd like to see him in the black and gold next season...

I think Hoyer is underrated too, but IMO he is a streaky QB. For a stretch of games he looked outstanding in Cleveland (which is extremely hard to do), but then he can go through stretches where teams are almost forced to bench him.

RailBoss

Hoyer is 31 and a Journeyman who has gone through some brutal teams.
Seem's you would need a great deal of Psychotherapy to clean his slate.
That said he would probably flourish working with Drew. I'm most likely
half blind but I don't see it.

I'm on board.

Since we're playing "What if" Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott in exchange for "the kid" and Ingram.

Keep drinking and get back to us...
