New England Patriots: 5 Potential Trade Destinations for Jimmy Garoppolo

4.) Buffalo Bills

One team that is poised for an interesting offseason is the Buffalo Bills. After the late-season firing of head coach Rex Ryan, it’s clear that changes are coming in Buffalo. One of the possible reasons for the firing of Ryan was because of his desire to have Tyrod Taylor as the starting quarterback.

Under Ryan, the Bills were pretty successful. They were by no means a great team, however, they were respectable. With Ryan gone, the Bills that very well could mean that Taylor will also be leaving Buffalo. As a starting quarterback, Taylor was pretty good for the Bills. In 2015, he was able to total 20 touchdown passes and six interceptions. Last season, Taylor also played pretty well, as he totaled 17 touchdown passes and six interceptions. Both seasons, he was able to total over 500 rushing yards, as he is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the league.

It will be very interesting to see if the Patriots are willing to deal Garoppolo within the division or even the conference. If the Patriots are hesitant to trade Garoppolo within their own division or conference, this could be an indication that they do believe he can succeed. If they are willing to trade him to a team in the conference or the division, it might mean they don’t think he will succeed.
