Of course. They kept Mannion instead of Keenum (yes, I know Keenum had a say in what happened to him, Mannion not so much) but Mannion is clearly as good or better than the QB leading the Vikings to the playoffs.

So I think the Browns' first would be fair compensation.

Good move by the whiners. Now they will more than likely trade down in the draft for more picks. That offense needs a lot more than a QB.

Patriots traded him because he is a future free agent. They obviously still believe in Brady for the next few years. So no reason to pay your back up starter money, plus the Pats could use the pick.

What kind of QB Jimmy G is for the damn niners is to be determined. Overall it was a good trade for both teams in my opinion.

Agree that the Patsies made a good trade because they would have gotten nothing after the season. It's a worthwhile risk for the Whiners. It's still to be determined how much they have to pay him. Less than Cousins by far. There was a lively discussion on Jimmy G early this year here. Some liked a lot some didn't. It does give the whiners options in the draft. It an interesting middle ground from drafting a Darnold to paying Cousins.

Brady is 40, if the Patriots believed in JG, then that doesn’t make sense
 
My rating - a big who cares. How many times has a backup to a great QB been hailed as the savior after a good game or two? A lot. How many times has it panned out? Twice? Garoppolo could end up being pretty OK. But I'm, not going to lose sleep over it. At least until the 9ers arent a dumpster fire.

Brown to the Hawks? That I care about. But I hope one decent lineman won't be able to cover all the gaps on their o-line. I still don't know how they fit that under the cap though...

Brady is under contract for 2 more years at $14m/year ($22m cap hit), is currently the frontrunner in the MVP race, and Garoppolo is a UFA at the end of the year who will probably make more money than Brady on the open market.
