The asking price will be high yes but teams will be watching to see what drama with Brady unfolds. Will he step aside or step down because as ruthless as Belicheat can get it's still pretty tough to see Brady ever being traded. Will Brady force their hand relative to Garoppolo?If I was NE I wouldn't be looking to trade Garoppolo either since he appears to be their eventual solution to the post Brady era so I think you're correct when you say there's little likelihood they'll trade him now when they still have another year to let the hand play out.
Who can actually say what he's worth? Two firsts is what you pay for a franchise level player and I don't think Garoppolo has enough of a track record for them to get that no matter what's being said. So I reject that as being anywhere near what I would offer for starters and would only go that high if other picks and/or players were also in the deal to balance it out. It could be a 1st and a swap of 1sts or a two 1sts for JG and a second in return. Who knows?
So for anyone to call any compensation crazy without knowing the whole deal is equally crazy. Until some deals are actually on the table it's all speculation but that would not stop me from pursuing talks with NE about him. If you don't ask you don't get.
Does Kizer (or Watson or Rudolph or Kelly) have a higher ceiling than Garropolo? If Barkley works out, do we have someone who can start until our freshly drafted franchise QB comes up to speed? I omitted Trubisky from the list as I believe he will be long gone when we pick at 4 or 5 (or higher).
