Tom Brady Traded For Andre Johnson & First-Round NFL Draft Pick From Houston Texans? Time For Rookie Jimmy Garoppolo To Shine & Become Next Drew Bledsoe?

With the NFL trade deadline a matter of days away, we're likely to see some crazy rumours emerge, and some are likely to come to fruition, but could veteran QB Tom Brady be traded from his beloved New England Patriots? Reports are suggesting that they could agree on a trade with the Houston Texans, ensuring that they receive Andre Johnson and a first-round NFL draft pick in return. The Pats would then let Jimmy Garoppolo, who they heavily believe in, become their new franchise QB, replacing legends Drew Bledsoe and Brady.

Even Bledsoe himself believes Brady is replaceable, earlier this year saying, "If you play for the Patriots -- and, honestly, it doesn't matter if you're Tom Brady -- you're there as long as you're useful. Tom will have his time, too. And he knows that."

Could his time be a mid-season trade to one of the worst teams in the NFL? Probably not, but you never know.

For the Pats to even consider doing business, they'd demand a top pick and a top player, which the Texans can provide them with, making them the only legitimate option. The Pats have demonstrated their belief in Jimmy time and time again, but would they bite the bullet, trading Brady while his stock is high, but his talent is on a downwards spiral? Football is a business, and this would make good business, and ultimately it would save them a ton of money, too.

It would be one of the biggest trades in NFL history, but the Patriots would be willing to do business if the right offer was to be made.
