The other thing to consider is that Belichick probably wondered if Brady was going to fall apart this season -- like Peyton Manning did a couple years ago. Overtaking Montana and Bradshaw represented a certain milestone for Brady, but apparently Brady wants to tie or beat Michael Jordan, lol.
The trade of Jimmy G now probably only represents a slip of 10 spots from what they could have gotten before the draft. To Belichick, that may have been worth it to see how Brady was doing at the start of this season. They certainly were not going to be able to pay Garapollo after this year.
