Chris Simms sees path for Patriots to land Jimmy Garoppolo

The 2021 NFL offseason isn’t even technically underway, but it’s been busy for a number of teams. And one analyst sees it getting busier. NBC Sports’ Chris Simms see a path for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to return to the New England Patriots. He even called the path “obvious.”
