On the hand, Garoppolo was seen to be one of the quality quarterbacks on the list during the draft day. And true to his billing, he became a dependable backup for Brady. After Brady was suspended by the league for four games due to Deflategate, coach Bill Belichick assigned Garoppolo to start in QB spot and he didn't disappoint the team leading the team to a 3-1 record.
But after three years with
the team, rumors are spreading that Garoppolo might be on a new team one of this day. According to Sportsrageous, now that Brady is back in the fold for the Patriots they might consider to trade Garoppolo to get a future draft pick.
The report also says that the Patriots might go through the same scenario the San Francisco 49ers did in 2014 when the 49ers traded QB Alex Smith for two second round picks. This might encourage the Patriots to do same the thing to get future assets as per stated in the report.
But the report also hinted that the Patriots might also keep Garoppolo since Brady is in his twilight years of his career and this season could be his last. But there's also a possibility that Garoppolo may ask the Patriots to trade him if he sees a better playing opportunity with other teams.
An earlier report by iSportsTimes.com also linked Garoppolo to be traded to the Cleveland Browns. This is after Browns starting QB Robert Griffin III suffered a shoulder injury that will most likely end his career. And now, holding a 0-6 record the Browns might pursue Garoppolo and make a bold move to trade their first-round pick for him as per stated in the report.
