Forty-year-old Tom Brady appears to be the New England Patriots’ quarterback for the foreseeable future after reports his back-up, Jimmy Garoppolo, has been traded to the San Francisco 49ers. According to ESPN, Garoppolo will join the 49ers in exchange for a second-round pick in next year’s draft. The 49ers are 0-8 this season and have not had a reliable quarterback since Colin Kaepernick’s best years a few seasons ago. On Monday, Brady told Westwood One radio that he had only heard about the trade second-hand. The 49ers are understood to have cut veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer – another former Patriot – after making the move for Garoppolo.
