OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[VectorPrime]

Well, no Watson in the division lmfao

 

[gobesmug]

Brady personally called Gage

And Belicheck didn't want to take Brady’s input or help in recruiting

 

[Guts]

NFC is really just the Rams, Bucs, Packers and 49ers as of now...can't trust the cowgirls

Wonder if Ryan is going to the Colts? The AFC is going to be brutal.

Oh god I hope so.

How do you pay this guy that much and all guaranteed and give up probably multiple 1st. Meanwhile Brady going to play for 11 mil + whatever bonus he got last year. THe NFL is crazy.

 

[sb1]

Watson to Cleveland.

Bucs will absolutely roll their division.

With the Bucs having a brutally difficult schedule, Watson going to the AFC makes things easier. They'll only face him once.

Cause not everybody is about winning like Tom is and that's okay. Get your money if you can but don't complain if you can't deliver due to lack of help

He got paid to do nothing last year and still demands more money? Of course congrats for him for getting it and I'd take it to but that's just lunacy to give up 3 1st+ and all that money. I'd say huge pressure on him but really there isn't because his money is guaranteed and he has more important things to worry about than winning games.

I think somebody else mentioned it in the Watson thread that he may need the $$ to pay off the accusers

Never judge a schedule’s difficulty on the offseason.

Also the Packers and Cowboys WILL take a step back. Especially the Cowboys. The conference is a two team race for the bye and the Bucs have the easier division by far.

Never judge a schedule’s difficulty on the offseason.

Sorry, but I don't buy into that. If the apparent strength of teams change, you adjust your initial position. But, generally speaking, you don't generally get a large number of teams either collapsing or shooting way up in any particular season, unless you've got major injury issues in terms of either numbers or position.

So you can get a pretty good feel for what you're likely to be facing.

Also the Packers and Cowboys WILL take a step back. Especially the Cowboys. The conference is a two team race for the bye and the Bucs have the easier division by far.

The Packers play the AFC East and NFC East, and face the Rams, Bucs, and Titans.

The Bucs play the AFC North and NFC West, and face the Packers, Cowboys, and Chiefs.


So I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

On paper TB is better than Dallas and GB, but perhaps you should consider the Packers and Cowboys schedule vs TB's...

Still a long way to complete the teams and the draft ahead as well.

Injuries ultimately will be the biggest factor as always

McDaniels just got ****ed a little bit by waiting on the Carr deal. If Watson got 46/y and fully guaranteed there's no way Carr signs whatever deal was on the table. They are now looking at 40/y with huge guarantees. Rogers and Watson just changed the market. Why would any great QB sign a non guaranteed deal again.

 

[VectorPrime]

I just won’t rule out Rodgers just checking out. Got paid a guaranteed dump truck of cash and lost his absolute most favorite teammate because, reportedly, he wanted to take LESS to play with Carr instead? Yeah Rodgers might just stop caring as much.

It's really 25 mil with potential 5 mil incentive. Brady got paid the 14 mil early when he signed his extension. Still, a bargain compared to all the new contracts being signed by these big name QBs.

There will be a big new deal for Brady and I am hoping it locks him in for another 2 seasons.

Yeah, all these contenders with big name QBs are now forced to handicap their team with these huge contracts. Advantage Brady.

It really seems like the Bucs are doing everything possible to make it attractive for Brady to come back for his age 46 season.
