Call the bluff: Do you believe the New England Patriots won’t consider trading backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo under any circumstances?
That’s the message the Patriots have conveyed through media channels.
But there’s a price for everything. Especially for a backup quarterback.
The Browns owe it to themselves to find out that price.
Acquiring Garoppolo remains the Browns’ best option at rescuing their seemingly hopeless situation at quarterback.
He would be a quantum upgrade, ready to take over his own team, a potentially transformative player at the position that has tortured the franchise and its fans for almost 20 years.
