Tom Brady is days away from becoming a free agent. Here's why it wouldn't be absurd for Brady to sign with either the Chargers, 49ers, Titans or Cowboys.
Joe Burrow will be going to the Cincinnati Bengals as the top pick of the 2020 NFL draft, but where will everyone else go in the first round?The situation is complex and nuanced, with rumors swirling that Mr. Six Rings could be heading west on Route 66 to finish his career in Las Vegas or even Los Angeles, where glistening new stadiums are opening next season., and there aren’t enough spotlights on The Strip to outshine a billion-watt pairing of Brady and coach Jon Gruden.
NFL teams can’t discuss interest in Brady now. That would be tampering. But any quarterback-needy team that hasn’t weighed the merits of signing him is guilty of malpractice. It’s a safe bet that he has been a centerpiece of countless closed-door conversations. Which brings us to the first, most important, scenario.New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady celebrates with coach Bill Belichick after defeating the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI on Feb. 3, 2002.
Still, Brady wants a long-term commitment from a team, and the Patriots haven’t given him one. Other than a couple of graying kickers who may or may not resurface, he’s the oldest active player in the league, and any team would be cautious about tying its future to him. The Chargers do not have a history of taking big risks or backing up the Brinks truck for free agents. They announced last month that they won’t be re-signing Rivers and are, for now, going with fleet-footed veteran Tyrod Taylor, who is elusive, protects the football and throws one of the prettiest deep balls in the league, but has struggled with accuracy on passes over the middle.
Whether Brady were to go to the Chargers or Raiders, he would also be facing Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes twice a season in an AFC West that’s far stronger than the AFC East.
