Trade rumors regarding Jimmy Garoppolo have been swirling throughout free agency, but NFL insider Adam Schefter is confident that the backup quarterback will remain in New England.

Others, however, still believe there’s a chance that the Patriots may deal the backup QB in exchange for a higher pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

At the Celtics-Bulls game on Wednesday night, CSNNE’s Mike Giardi asked Garoppolo: “On the eve of the NFL Draft, do you have any nerves knowing that your name has been out there for months and months?”

With a chuckle, the 25-year-old responded: “No nerves. Just trying to enjoy the game with the guys tonight. It’s a special thing coming out here.”
