All those Jimmy Garoppolo trade rumors may finally be going away, with even his most stubborn suitors seeming to lose hope of a successful pursuit.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reasserted that the New England Patriots do not want to trade Garoppolo, and even the Cleveland Browns are starting to believe they’ll be out of luck in that pursuit.
“From my understanding, the Patriots do not want to deal Jimmy Garoppolo,” Rapoport said on NFL Network’s Up To The Minute Thursday. “They really just don’t, whether it’s to the Browns, whether it’s to the Texans. Their stance right now … is they do not want to give up someone who they consider a franchise quarterback for a pick this year.
“The Browns may make a late run at Garoppolo, but they do not seem to believe there’s any hope there.”
The Browns have been very reluctant to completely give up on Garoppolo, and they’ve been linked to him all offseason. If their hopes are fading, the Patriots probably aren’t going to be making the trade.
