The Tom Brady rumor thread

[RobertWeathers]

Brady picking a crazy ****ing time to start caring about money.

It's why I dont buy it. What team hes on is the team HE believes will give him best chance to win.

Money=Respect & Appreciation

General observations after reading what Bucs fans think:

It’s nearly unanimous that they want to keep the defensive front together, which means tagging Barrett and re-signing Suh and JPP. That’s probably somewhere around $40 million right there, half of the Bucs’ cap space.

They want three new offensive linemen, but know they’ll have to settle for one or two. The LT is overpaid, but his 2020 salary is guaranteed so he’s not going anywhere. Last year’s RG is cheap but could be upgraded, and their RT is a free agent. The idea of drafting a first round tackle to play on the right side in 2020 and then switch to the left side in 2021 is mentioned often.

A few fans proposed dumping Brate’s salary, and of course they expect to get one of the Pats’ thirds for him.

Overall feeling among fans seems to be that they are not Tom Brady away from being a Super Bowl team.

I haven't been back to Orlando since I moved north. But Orlando was always a day visit place for me, anyway. There's no way in hell I'd have put up with living there. But I could see the Brady bunch deciding to live somewhere along the travel line between Tampa and Orlando for a couple of years.

Polk County, perhaps? I could definitely see Gisele loving it there.

I don't know if I see Brady in an offense that doesn't feature speedy little receivers, which Evans and Godwin are not. Plus Tampa's RBs are not great. Overall, I see Brady a better fit in Tennessee, which has at least a great running game.

Then hes been paid fairly.

These these guys are the ones who are overpaid.

They are clueless.

Guys like Tom put teams over the hump. They turn also-rans into playoff teams, playoff teams into SB contenders and SB contenders into champions.

Same here. Money isn't his priority.

 

[Deus Irae]

Same here. Money isn't his priority.

This has always been an easy fix, as long as Brady hasn't already checked out.

1. Multiple years
2. Offensive skill position upgrades
3. Reasonable (for the position, not for BB's silliness) salary

He'll get them in the right direction. Not sure TB is enough to get them over the top though. They need more players I think.

The bucs would be a bad mistake not only because of the division but also that bucs OL is terrible.

INLAND???!!! WTF??!!!???
South of Tamper there are Very nice seacoast areas to live. If you can spend a few million, you get seafront properties. Pocket change for the Brady Bunch.

Only the Saints would be a threat in that division. Atlanta hasn’t recovered from 28-3 and the Panthers appear ready to tank for Trevor. Of course, that could change depending on what happens in FA and the draft.

Hate to say it but clearly Tamper's division has one threat, the Saints. Far easier division than LA Chaagiz or Vegas Radiz. He could kick ass & take names there.

INLAND???!!! WTF??!!!???

For me, personally, I hear you.

South of Tamper there are Very nice seacoast areas to live. If you can spend a few million, you get seafront properties. Pocket change for the Brady Bunch.

I just meant that they could, if they wanted to, find a spot between Tampa and Orlando, where there's more to do. I don't know what the Brady family would want.

 

[Zarozzor]

I bet he would also love 8 games in Tampa, 1 in North Carolina, and 2 dome games a year

And, in the "OMG! It's so, like, way too early for this crap" analysis of the conference, there's probably not going to be a lot of change in the hierarchy of the NFC.

BB's silliness????? That comment isn't going to do much for your credibility. His "silliness" over the last 20 years has allowed this team to remain competitive year in an year out.

BTW- the fact remains that a healthy Edelman and Sanu and Harry (with another year under his belt, and our FB's back, plus a fully healthy set of OLmen like Andrews, Cajuste, and Frodo, will be a big upgrade to our offensive weapons for next year. We don't have to give up big draft, trade, or cap assets to have that happen. Those are assets that would be better used on the OL (Thuney) and the TE position.

That being said, I've always liked Robby Anderson.

Robby Anderson Has Dreamed Of Playing With Tom Brady


“I just had a dream last night that we were on the same team,” Anderson said

Anderson added that he was unsure about the team he was playing for in the dream:

“The crazy thing is, I didn’t see the team,” he said. “I didn’t see like the actual colors of the jersey, but we were literally on the same practice field at practice together.”

Asked what it would be like to play with Brady, he said, “That would be a dream come true.”


So: All Robby needs to do is have some toadstools with hot sauce and a yogurt parfait for dessert, and he'll have the flying elvis haunting his nightmares.
