NGT: Pats accepted less for Jimmy G. from SF than the Browns

Wrench that is moving him to the NFC is a better outlier. They believe he'll be good thus the last-minute trade and out of conference.

This.

and the screwdriver is that it proves Jimmy G will have some success, thereby eliminating him from discussions amongst the Cleveland brass

a true sad state of affairs there.

the Pats gave a crap about Jimmy G's feelings or about his career path. There is zero evidence over the last 20 years of them doing this for any player in their organization.

they traded him to the NFC. The end.

probably wouldn't sign an extension with the Browns would probably lower the compensation, Franchise tag or no.

SF is a much better situation for a young QB.

he's free to leave SF or Cleveland or whoever he was traded for unless he was tagged for an obscene amount of money.

that exiled Richard Seymour, a multiple-time All-Pro and champion who meant a helluva lot more to the franchise than Jimmy Garoppolo ever did, to a Raider team that had posted double digit losses for six consecutive seasons. The idea that they wanted to spare poor Jimmy Garoppolo so much that they took less in return is laughable.

And it seemed like it was more Schefter and/or Frank Schwab from "Shutdown Corner" (who is a fake sports journalist) putting imaginary pieces together. While plausible, there was nothing concrete to show that there was even an offer made from Cleveland, just a vague reference that "they tried to get him in the spring and again in the fall," and pure speculation that they would've offered more for Garropalo than what is RUMORED that they offered for McCarron.

Basically, it's another click-bait article from Frank Schwab, who is a blogger, not a real journalist, and not a good one at that. I'm just astounded at what passes for "news" these days and how anybody good publish this kind of drivel with a straight face, much less stand on their writing or be proud of their "work".

If it seems like I'm going over the top, it's because I've read enough from Frank Schwab to know how much he sucks out loud.


TL;DR: Fake news, pure speculation, click bait, Frank Schwab is a phony.

It could simply be that they chose the Niners 2nd round pick over the Browns 2nd round pick despite the conventional wisdom that the Browns pick would be ahead of the Niners pick. It such an unpredictable situation, why not send him to the NFC team instead of the AFC team?

Collusion!!!

Absolutely correct. We're supposed to believe that Belichick suddenly is emotional about players? What a crock.

Yet according to Bill Barnwell, the Browns are a better situation for a coach than the Giants.

Stupid story and pure speculation.
What signs has Belichick given that he cares about anything but winning.
He has bought low and sold high for his whole career.
Britt and Bennett this year alone.

Pats care so much about jimmy G but don't care about the browns? They are cruel. What did the browns ever do to them?

What makes it worse is that the whole "white knight allure is gone since BreLon won a championship for the city. A QB could be sold on being the guy that brought not only Cleveland, but the Browns their first glorious title in forever thereby making him a hero of immense proportions. Now that thats gone, you are just a quarterback that has to play in Cleveland.

Wouldn't it make sense they preferred an NFC team? Not to mention they like the guy so they send him to a good situation?
