Patriots Decline To Talk Jimmy Garoppolo Trade With Browns At Draft

Apr 29, 2017 12:09 AM

The Cleveland Browns called the New England Patriots during the first round of the draft about trading for Jimmy Garoppolo. 

The Patriots again declined to engage in trade talks centered on Garoppolo. 

The future of Garoppolo has been tied to how many more years Tom Brady will continue to play.

The Patriots could even use the franchise tag on Garoppolo next offseason as a backup to Brady.

Week 13 Win Over 49ers Cost Bears Three Draft Picks

Apr 28, 2017 8:22 AM

The Chicago Bears beat the San Francisco 49ers in a meaningless Week 13 game last season that ended up costing them three draft picks.

The Bears entered the game 2-9, while the 49ers were 1-10.

San Francisco went on to finish the season 2-14 and landed the second pick in the draft. Chicago finished 3-13 and received the No. 3 selection.

On Thursday night, the Bears traded up to the second pick to take Mitchell Trubisky. They sent a 2017 third-rounder, 2017 fourth-rounder and a 2018 third-rounder to the 49ers. If Chicago had lost to San Francisco in Week 13, they wouldn't have had to part with those picks to get Trubisky.

Browns Have Discussed Trading Up With Three Teams In Top 8

Apr 27, 2017 11:17 AM

The Cleveland Browns, who own the No. 1 and No. 12 picks, have had discussions with at least three teams in the top eight about moving up.

The Browns are in need of a franchise quarterback and are expected to take Myles Garrett first overall. They could use the 12th pick and other assets to improve their second selection in order to take a quarterback.

Michael Silver of the NFL Network speculates that the Tennessee Titans, New York Jets and Carolina Panthers could move a pick to Cleveland.

Titans Have Offers For No. 5 Pick, May Move Down

Apr 27, 2017 10:27 AM

The Tennessee Titans have multiple offers for the No. 5 pick and are considering moving down.

The Titans traded the first overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams so they could take Jared Goff last year. They then traded back up with the Cleveland Browns to select Jack Conklin.

In addition to the fifth pick, the Titans have No. 18 and an extra third-rounder. They do not have a second-round selection.

Patriots Likely To Keep Malcolm Butler

Apr 24, 2017 11:52 AM

The New England Patriots are unlikely to trade Malcolm Butler this offseason.

Butler signed a one-year, $3.91 million tender with the Patriots last Wednesday, which means New England has the opportunity to trade him.

Butler visited the New Orleans Saints earlier in the offseason.

If Butler had signed an offer sheet with the Saints and the Patriots didn't match, the Saints would have had to surrender their first-round pick in the 2017 draft (11th overall) to New England.

Butler and the Patriots discussed a long-term extension this offseason.
