This was Belichicks plan from before the draft, show off Garappolo while Brady is suspended and trade him for multiple picks. Thats why they picked up Briskett, so Brady would have a reliable backup after Garoppolo is dealt

Iirc the 5th year option is only applicable if the draftee was picked in round one. He was drafted in round 2 though.

BTW, I don't think that a end-3rd-round pick can be considered as a future franchise QB. I'd rather assume that the Pats want to build up a career backup for Garoppolo.

oh dang, thought he was a first rounder. you're right.

Well the tricky thing with Garappolo and Brady is that they would have to choose between them in 2018. No way Garappolo resigns with them in 2018 to wait for brady to hand over the starting spot. I think brady still has about 3 years left in him too. Patriots would have to deal Garappolo so they get something out of him or they can very well trade brady. I think Brady is the cheaper option for them because he already made his fortune and has a team friendly deal while garappolo will be looking for his big payday

No problem.

If it comes down to Brady or Garappolo, they will take the latter one, imho. Brady turned 39 last month, he won't do it forever and especially not beyond 2018.
Given that franchise QB don't grow on trees, they won't risk to put all the chips on a 39yr-old QB that much.

if they do go Garappolo, then maybe Brady considers coming home and winning a SB for his childhood team

Brady in a chip O.......

As many have noted, Brady is turning 40 before next season.

If Belichick is willing to trade Garoppolo, it means he's not worth trading for. It's as simple as that.

^^^ If you've got a 40 year old QB and really truly believe in your young guy there's no such thing as an offer that's too good to be refused.

QB is just that important of a position.

If Belichick is willing to trade Garoppolo, let him fleece someone else, IMO.

Wait until there's some film on the guy that DCs dissect before you get too excited about him.

Lots of QBs look great, until they get figured out.
