The Jimmy Garoppolo Watch has shifted to high gear as NFL free agency arrives and moves begin to be made.

PATRIOTS FREE AGENCY: Curran on Pats' plans, plus position-by-position breakdown

Mike Garafolo on the NFL Network Tuesday reiterated that despite all the rumors, the Patriots aren't likely to deal their backup QB. Still, if they did, he reported that the Patriots' asking price, according "to someone somewhat connected with the situation" would be a first-round pick this year and first-rounder in 2018.

The Cleveland Browns have two first-round picks this year and, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, their "dream scenario" would be to use the first pick, No. 1 overall, on Texas A&M pass rusher Myles Garrett and the other, at No. 12, as part of a trade for Garoppolo.

But this year's No. 12 and next year's first-rounder for Jimmy G is something "the Browns won't be willing to do."

More from Cabot's story:

Despite a report by ESPN that the Patriots won't trade Jimmy Garoppolo, I'm told that nothing has changed and that teams -- including the Browns -- will still try to land him.

One source told me he believes it might take as much as a No. 1 this year and No. 1 next year -- which I'm sure the Browns won't be willing to do
