When asked whether he would welcome a trade to the Cleveland Browns, Jimmy Garoppolo made an odd choice with his words.
"That opportunity really hasn't approached me yet so we'll see when we get there I guess," Garoppolo told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
While Garoppolo intensified rumors by saying "when" and not "if" the belief is that there was no hidden meaning.
"To be honest, I really haven't thought about it much," he said. "It's not even in the back of my mind. We're focused on the [Atlanta] Falcons this week. It's a big week for us. It's the biggest game of the year and that's kind of where my mind's at."
The New England Patriots have Garoppolo under contract for one more season at less than $1 million.
