In late October 2017, another player represented by Donald Yee, Jimmy Garoppolo, left the New England Patriots to join the San Francisco 49ers.
This young quarterback spent four full years as Brady's backup with the New England Patriots, having only played two complete games and twice enduring long absences from training and games due to injuries; after transferring to the San Francisco 49ers, he started five games, and the season was over.
Yet, this player who had only played in seven games throughout his career signed a five-year, 137 million US Dollar contract during the following offseason, becoming the highest-paid player in the league before Rodgers renewed with the Green Bay Packers, including a 90 million US Dollar guarantee.
This all made history.
So, how did the media react?
Despite some confusion and hesitation, they still applauded and cheered for Garoppolo, and did not foolishly throw the negative noise from social networks in Garoppolo's face.
