It seems a Jimmy Garoppolo trade is not off the table for the New England Patriots this offseason.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen reported last week that a “person close to the Patriots” would be stunned if the 25-year-old backup quarterback was traded. Schefter clarified his report on WEEI’s “Kirk and Callahan” show Wednesday morning with Jon Meterparel and Trenni Kusnierek.

“I didn’t say that. One person told me that,” Schefter said. “I don’t know that I believe that. I think they definitely are going to listen and it’s going to be up to another team to make an attractive enough (offer). There was one person I spoke to with the Patriots who said he would be stunned if they traded him.

“Now, that doesn’t mean that that person is right, it means I think they are going to listen and it means they are going to ask for a lot. If somebody steps forward whether it is Chicago (Bears), or Cleveland (Browns), or San Francisco (49ers) I think they act, but they are not looking to randomly deal the guy to deal the guy.”

So, what could the Patriots get for Garoppolo, who has completed 43 of 62 passes for 502 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in parts of five games with two starts this season?
