Plus, I have offered free use of my guest bedroom. Don’t forget. I don’t see it happening but heck who knows at this point? I don’t think the small market thing matters that much plus it’s not really a small market. Boston is 9th and Tampa is the 12th biggest media market, bigger than Miami. Indy is 25th and Nashville is 28th so if that does matter, they’re way out. It’s just that 70% of the population in Florida is from somewhere else. So there’s not a lot of loyalty to the home teams. Except the Lightning. They sell out every game. B's/Lightening tonight in Boston. I went to the game last weekend. Good game, got pretty intense in the 3rd period. |

I think his best chance at winning another title is either here or San FrN. But honestly Tennessee is probably real good too, so I picked Tennessee. I think another thing to to consider...if the options aren’t right and we don’t offer a contract he wants, he could always retire and walk away. I think that would be smart. I think at some point this off season he will start to wonder...do I really want to start all over again...and do I really want to come back to NE under a contract I feel is “not respectful” and throw to Nkeal Harry, an old Edelman and Jakobi Meyers. Do I want that? Do I want to get pounded behind that line and watch Sony Michel get stuffed every other time he handles the ball, or watch passes go off his finger tips like he’s allergic to the football? Or do I want to maybe take my millions and relax for the rest of my life? I think that may enter his mind, despite the stupid Hulu commercial. His best chance to win another title is probably putting on a visor, carrying a clipboard, and backing up Mahomes. But, I get what you’re saying. |

Guy fell through his bedroom floor about 5 miles from my house. Never found his body. AB can share Tom’s room. As long as they keep the noise level down. Gotta get my sleep. |

I hope Pats.
I think it is between Pats and Titans. SF would be in this big time but I don't see them swapping a much younger JG for TB to play maybe a couple of years. But we can't rule them out.
Voted? I said Titans but it changes with the moment. Wait a minute and I will say Pats.

All this circle jerking around, BB calls it right, and gets TB without doing much. Age is the problem, for him. The real Question does BB want him back? Yes, at the Right Price. The right price will not be available. TB - Raiders - Tenn - SF. Someone will offer him a number that makes all of us say WHAT and BB pass. |

Vrabel, and TB are screwing with the wrong guy. The GM there Belichick, helped him get the job. I'm not buying Tenn.

I think it really depends on whether or not other teams think it was all about injuries and talent and not decline in Brady last season. If they saw through the injuries and talent and also saw decline they too might be hesitant to open the bank vault for Brady. You'd have to be 100% certain it was all about the supporting cast and not Brady to throw big bucks his way. And no team other than the Pats has a real clear picture of that. |

Vrabel, and TB are screwing with the wrong guy. The GM there Belichick, helped him get the job. I'm not buying Tenn. I heard recently Tannehill was looking for a large contract, this may actually help determine what the Titans do. Tannehill was a reclamation project, he was cheap, the Titans made him a viable starter once more so they might balk at overpaying for him now. Bottom line is any and every great GM or coach knows QB's are only as good as the team around them. Yes, QB's are good or bad on their own worthiness and skills, but no matter how good they won't be good on a bad team. You can find good QB play and every year there's somebody like Tannehill available who is good but previously played on a shitty team. This year's version is probably Andy Dalton. If Tom leaves and the Patriots can get him for super cheap, they can build a team of super weapons around him. No, he's not TB... but on an amazing team Nick Foles, Joe Flacco and Trent Dilfer can win you a ring. I'd prefer they go with the youth movement, start Stidham if you think he's ready but also draft one or two QB's as well... leave nothing to chance. Rookies are cheap, paying your starting QB 500K opens up an insane amount of money to build the team around them. |

I always wondered why they didn’t send a drone down in it. |

The team that makes the most sense for the team and player is the Patriots for more reasons than are worth listing again. If that doesn't happen I think Brady goes to Vegas. It is a brand new city to the league with a team that has tons of potential. A great o line(maybe the best in football) a great RB, very good 3rd down back. A young defense with talent. They could draft Isiah Simmons and a stud CB in the 1st. Still get a QB and a DT in the 3rd. Trade for Edelman(we wont need him without Brady) and sign a good vet receiver. They could be loaded... Only problem is they are in KCs division... Why wouldn't the Pats need Edelman if Brady isn't here? I don't get that logic. Edelman has been a talented and clutch player for the team for the past 10 years. Whoever is playing quarterback for the Patriots next year, whether it is Brady or anyone else, is going to need talented players around him. Because we will suckkkkkkkk without Brady?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

So 9'ers drop Jimmy G, sign Brady and then get Kirk Cousins in 2 years. Problem with that is Cousins is a free agent after this next season. Would someone sign Cousins for a year? I don't think so.
Tannehill is reportedly looking for big money, more than he is worth. I can see the Titans going away from Tanny and all in for Brady.
But the 9'ers give Brady a better chance at winning a SB, plus that's his childhood team and it's the NFC to where the 9'ers can stay away from the Chiefs until the SB.
The Patriots don't have enough time to add some weapons to entice Brady to stay.
Everything is pointing to the 9'ers but it just seems like it's the Titans who hold the advantage.
I have been pretty confident that Brady stays in NE but no... I'm feeling like it's 50/50. I have said since October that Brady to the 9'ers was a real possibility... If he leaves NE I think it's for the 9'ers. But won't be shocked if it's the Titans.

Or do I want to maybe take my millions and relax for the rest of my life? I think that may enter his mind, despite the stupid Hulu commercial. I just don't see NE in SB with or without TB primarily because how the team is presently constructed and the Cap situation. - The offense, minus the QB is appalling and without any real upsides. By this, I mean, - no quick short pass options other than Edelman who will be 34! - poor intermediate solution who has not really learnt the playbook (Harry) with all the down time he had - no deep threat - no TE to soften the defense - questions on Oline with free agencies - The defense was overrated last year in the sense that it was not capable of stopping good QBs when needed but was great against average to poor QBs - ST was ok to good but went through dry spells My feeling is that our best chance is to - 2 yr deal close to what he wants - trade all but Gilmore - rebuild defense from those under rookie contracts, draft, UDFA and cheap vets - pony up the money for FAs in offense realistically, 49ers are the best chance for TB to win another SB, Titans being second best. My vote, Titans. |

His current contract means he’s got one year left in NE and then will either retire or go play someplace else for a year or two. |

I abstain
Brady told We is that he Brady didn't know
My guess is that he interviews with teams and comes back
To talk with the Pats
This is how BB has operated with Pat FAs
Of course $ And length are what is negotiated
For Pats it's Cap, Dead Money and CBA
The 1st wild card is RK
The one player that RK will flex as owner
Am sure BB and RK know each other's feelings
The 2nd wild card is which team offers the best
opportunity for #7. Which includes talent and fit
Playing poker with 2 wild cards is too rich for me
Tommy has earned what he wants
So whatever is good for me

The media doesn’t either, but they get a ton of clicks by speculating so they come out with a new fake rumor every day. We will just have to wait and see what happens. The only think I’m sure of is he is not going to SF. That’s just ridiculous. |

Oh man. Look at Josh Jacob's eyes light up when Dana suggests Brady to the Raiders. Would that be ironic! The player with a specific play that caused the sunset on that organization two decades ago would be their hope to resurrect that organization. Haven't followed the Raiders much last year. How close is their offense for TB to make good use of? |

Well somebody else has my TB to Tampa take... weei.radio.com/blogs/ryan-hannable/tom-brady-rumors-teams-do-not-believe-qb-is-the-answerAccording to ESPN's Dianna Russini, maybe that isn't the case. “I think at this point right now, Brady’s interest in other teams outweighs the amount of teams that are interested (in him)," she said on Tuesday's 'Get Up.' "Are there teams out there that are all in that I’ve talked to? I have talked to Tampa Bay and they would love to have Tom Brady. They are willing to give Tom Brady the things he needs and he wants. Some of the things Brady wants: control of the roster. He wants to be part of making decisions of the play-calling. … Talk about a match made in heaven in terms of if that is what Brady is looking for. If Brady wants control, Bruce Arians is the guy he should match up with.” |
