49ers GM John Lynch, when initially rebuffed in his attempt to acquire Jimmy Garoppolo, asked Bill Belichick about the availability of the Patriots' other quarterback in a trade, according to FOXSports' Jay Glazer.

John Lynch is a legend for trying to trade for Tom Brady 😂

Want to guess what Belichick's answer was?

Eventually, Lynch must've worn Belichick down on Jimmy G - and somehow couldn't sell him on trading Tom Brady - as the Patriots and 49ers completed a deal Monday that sent Garoppolo to San Francisco for a second-round pick.

As for Garoppolo's future in San Francisco, it depends on who you read. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that sources tell him that if the Niners turned around and traded Jimmy G, they could "possibly get more back than the second-round pick they surrendered." However, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reports that Garoppolo could have a long-term deal with the Niners before he takes a snap for them.
