The Football Word: Why Are The Patriots Reportedly Keeping Jimmy Garoppolo?

All of the Jimmy Garoppolo trade talk might have been for naught.

NESN.com’s Doug Kyed and Zack Cox attempted to answer that question on Thursday’s edition of “The Football Word.” The NFL Scouting Combine and Bill Belichick’s night off also were discussed, so watch in the video player above.
