"I think the New England Patriots made a huge mistake trading away Garrapolo."
They could not keep both on the roster. I think the idea was to see if Brady still had "it", (if he didn't they bring in Garropolo), Brady apparently does still have "it" so they certainly weren't going to trade him away.
They got a high 2nd round pick in the deal - Belichek's "sweet spot" for drafting - means they draft No. 32 and No. 33 next year.

I know it might sound crazy now, but I think they should have kept Garrapolo and let Brady walk at the end of the year or even tried to trade him. Yes, he's the greatest quarterback ever, but Bellicheck is famous for letting a player go a year too early instead of a year too late. I think he made a mistake. We'll find out next year about this time I suppose.

Why? They were both signed, as of right now, and both fit under the current existing salary cap. So, why couldn’t they keep both?
