Over the past couple of days, the options available to free-agent quarterback Tom Brady have become clearer. After reports emerged that the 49ers are not pursuing Brady and the Titans resigned Ryan Tannehill, two of the most speculated destinations are no longer on the table. According to Vic Tafur of The Athletic, the Raiders are not totally out of the Brady sweepstakes but are behind the Buccaneers in their pursuit.
Of course, it remains unknown how Brady feels about a reunion with the only organization he has ever played for. Brady has already etched himself into football’s Mt. Rushmore over his 20-year career with the Patriots. If the Patriots, Bucs, and Raiders are the only suitors for Brady, the Patriots are the only team that made the playoffs last season and would seem to clearly be the best option for Brady if he is prioritizing winning.
Still, Brady’s priorities (and sentiments towards the Patriots organization) remain a mystery. While the Buccaneers quarterback last season, Jameis Winston, like Brady, is a free-agent, the move would be a bit more complicated for the Raiders who have Derek Carr under contract through 2022 with a $21.5MM cap hit. However, Carr’s deal has plenty of cap flexibility and could easily be moved for assets if Brady did choose the Raiders.
Please please PLEASE sign Brady, Las Vegas. Sign him and trade Derek Carr to the Bears so we finally have a decent QB.
You took the words right out of my mouth! Thats literally all I’ve been praying for this offseason is that exact scenario. Then draft EDGE T.Lewis and TE B.Hopkins with first 2 picks. SS with our next pick. Sign an affordable WR, RG, and CB, then fill out the rest of our depth with whichever picks remain.
thank you, yes plz. came here to say this.
Yes 2 thumbs up.
