New England Patriots: 5 Potential Trade Destinations for Jimmy Garoppolo

1.) Cleveland Browns

The top option for Garoppolo would be the Cleveland Browns. They have already expressed interest in him, and it makes a lot of sense considering their issues at the quarterback position. Due to the Browns having multiple first round picks, they can address some issues on the defensive side of the ball. With the other first round pick, they can possibly acquire Garoppolo.

Last season, the Browns really lacked production from the quarterback position. They took a shot on Robert Griffin III, however, injuries resulted in him barely playing last season. When he was on the field, Griffin was unable to find the success from his early days in Washington.

The Browns did draft Cody Kessler in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Despite Kessler playing decent, the Browns don’t appear to be interested in using him as their starter next season. The Browns have frequently tried to either draft or sign a quarterback that could be their franchise quarterback. However, they have been unsuccessful in doing so.
