Jimmy Garoppolo traded to the 49ers!

[chopping mall]

WOW!

Being reported now, traded for a 2nd round pick!

[Madadamus]

Finally. I didn't understand the Patriots holding him, obviously off-season reports were way off.

It's a good boost to his value though. Shanahan is a good coach to be linked too. Hopefully weapons are added soon.

Confirmed - Brady to play another 5 years.

There was never a question about Brady. Not sure this helps Garropolo though. That team is a mess.

Interesting. I really thought Cousins would end up in SF. Garoppolo with Shanahan is a nice combination. Pats are going with Brady into his 40s, wow.

I already felt Jimmy G was very overrated so I tend to agree with you.
I don't think this is going to be pretty for him.

Glad I held on to jimmy g!

Glad I held on to jimmy g!

I'm not. I was holding with the hope that he would get to play in that awesome Pats' system, not get dumped on one of these dumpster teams.

I think this is going to be a disaster for him.

I'm a believer. I think he'll be a stud. Probably won't do great this year but next year with a year in the system I expect big things

As a dynasty owner I love this. Shanahan is one of the best offensive minds in the league. He could have been sent to a place like CLE. I also think the Pats might regret this. I understand it is virtually impossible to dump Brady, but he already is not the same QB and the proverbial cliff may not be that far off.

Brady has never been about arm strength. His best is those 15 to 20 yard passes. He can make those throws when he's 50.

[BlackOmega]

I don't see why the Pats didn't move him last year when they supposedly had been offered a 1st {or even as high as a 1st +}. Seems like selling low to trade him for a 2nd now. And of course this will open up a whole new discussion about Cousins and his future as many thought he was a done deal going to SF

Neither was Peyton....

I thought those rumours were debunked?

Keep in mind - it is from the 49ers; so it will basically be like a late 1st. Probably pick 33 or 34.

[Slackalacker]

The million dollar question is can I stream him this week to cover for Brady’s bye?
