Summary

1:10 - Tom Curran and Phil Perry discuss why the Patriots decided now to trade backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. 2:06 - Listen to Bill Belichick's opening statement in his conference call to the media about the trade. 5:08 - The issue that would have arose if the Patriots decided to franchise tag Garoppolo, why they couldn't agree on a contract extension, and how he wanted to become a starting quarterback with another team. 12:11 - If Robert Kraft had a say in the quarterback situation, wanting to trade Garoppolo and keep Tom Brady. 17:46 - Could the Patriots have gotten more for Garoppolo?
