Panthers are finalizing a deal with Teddy Bridgewater, and they have given Cam Newton permission to seek a trade.

Cowboys spent big to re-sign TE Blake Jarvin.

No money left for the old man Witten who had more of a sentimental connection to the old staff.

But the cap is a cap.

BRADY TO THE BUCS!!!!!!

Going to be hard to root for him after years of hatred. But that's off to the team for giving the defense a legit qb.

Broncos are releasing Joe Flacco.

Titans traded Jurell Casey to Denver for a 7th rounder. He was probably going to be cut due to his huge salary, so that kinda sets the market for guys with big salaries...

Brady at the Bucs is career suicide.

Best would have been to retire.

Bucs last year had the 3rd best offense in the NFL.  Defense was a respectable 15th. 

7-9 record probably due to turnover machine Winston.  30 picks and half a dozen fumbles lost.

I don't know what they've done in free agency but they could be in the hunt for the playoffs with Brady.

not just 30 picks, 6 pick 6's. Defensive player of the year.

The team has a great defense, it improved a ton over the course of the year... moving towards a mistake free offense will be a huge boon.

Panthers have released Eric Reid, but he’s more of a free safety, isn’t he?

Not really....he's 6-1 215.

No picks in 2019 - but get this -  130 tackles.  Carolina did not have a good run defense last year.

We need to sign a couple FA safeties even if Pace spends #43 on the position.

There's a number of available safeties out there - Ha Ha may actually be the best of the bunch.

The Bucs will  be 7-9 or 8-8 with Brady. He is inaccurate with passes more than 20 yards downfield and old man mobility in pocket.

Tampa coach Arians has a vertical passing game that will now need to be retooled for short timing routes. Brady has to forget 20 years with one team, learn new teammates and methods while the weight of Tom Brady is on his back to win.


8-8.

Talking about "career suicide" in relation to Tom Brady is analogous to a 100 year old man who **** a 10 every single week of his adult life killing himself.

Doesn't matter that Brady gets to lay with a model, this move to TB will hurt his legacy more than help it.


The magic for Montana or Favre never happened post move.
