Pats it would seem would want to ditch Garropolo, makes no sense to hang on to him. They could rake it in right now. I suspect they are holding the line as long as they can.

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

Garropolo is the safety blanket for Tom. The pats really like this kid. So unless your willing to pay big time for him he is not going any where. 1st rounders only and then some

Think about the trade. there is not a cheaper way out of it for them.

This or fork over as much as their second 2nd pick (52 Cle 308) or the top 3rd

That is some talent lost for a talent hungry team

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

Pats have asked for a 1st for Jimmy and no takers thus far.

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

Because all the QB's they have cashed out did squat (most do). And he does not have to stay there next year so no guarantee if Brady is still there which he likely will be. They also have another decent QB. I think this trade happens but not for a top 3 pick. I don't think this book is closed yet.

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

I could see it happening as well. I just don't see what others are saying in that Jimmy would yield more than a first. I think if the Pats had already been offered a late first, they would have jumped on it. Especially since they invested a late second on him.

No way Bill settles for just one pick. One and three and...?

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

How do you figure? Jimmy isn't a proven franchise QB. Why give up more when you can draft one. He traded Chandler Jones for a 3rd. He traded Collins for a 4th. Both proven commodities. You're not using logic here.

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

Look, you're trying to bring rationality to a seller's market in a year of crappy draft choices. G is much more a proven QB than anything in the first round of the draft. Bill will be happier to keep him than go find another backup. Hence whoever wants him is going to have to make it worth his while. He's not looking at he gave a 50 pick for him so getting a forty is totally worthwhile. Bill'll be looking the other team's GM in the eye while pulling out that GM's wallet and seeing how much is in it. There are some really frightened (especially the Browns) teams out there. It's win-win time for the Pats.

Re: Trade scenario @11
 

Then I'm sure he'll stay with the Pats.
