The New England Patriots took home their fifth Super Bowl ring this past year, and as the offseason moves along, they now face several big decisions. They have plenty of current free agents to consider, including whether or not to use the franchise tag on linebacker Dont’a Hightower. However, they also have to figure out what to do with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Patriots spent a second round pick on Garoppolo back in 2014, looking to find a competent backup option for Tom Brady. Through his first two seasons, Garoppolo had passing attempts in three games, and in appearing in six other games to take a knee.
