Indy is indoors for 9 games a year (8 at home plus Houston), have a great Offensive Line, terrific Offensive HC, Mack and Hilton, along with the most Cap space in the league so they can afford $40 million per year for Brady and have more money for FA playmakers and the Draft. They're also in a winnable Division with his game play and team assets. Rivers played for Reich in SD and most rumors have Rivers in Indy as of now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to learn a new offense, and learn his new receiving teammates. At the money he’s going to command, especially if it’s a bidding war, not worth it. Not worried if we see him next year, especially with a new team and especially if it’s later in the year when he’s been beaten up good. My $$$ is on Tennessee. They have a solid receiving group, one of the best RB's in the league, a solid defense, and his old buddy Vrabel as HC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw rivers last year and while he didn’t get the protection he needed from his o line, he made a lot of dumb decisions with the football and was throwing out of desperation most of the year. All his passes were thrown up for grabs and was hoping for the best. Threw 22 INTS last year with a talented WR corps.

I don’t think they are that close and let’s face it Phil has never won anything and rapidly declining. I agree with Drafting their guy, but to learn behind Brady if I were Indy. Again, I know it's probably not happening, but I think they're closer than maybe you give them credit for...they beat the Titans (yes, it was with Mariotta) and the Chiefs (I think it was without Mahomes but can't recall) and put up some big points on lesser opponents and lost a close one to the Steelers. All in all, Brady and that Cap Space can do a lot for Indy. If I was Indy, I'd be convincing Brady we're spending all of that Cap money and they have two 2nd Round picks on top of it. Again, if Indy is committed - getting Brady would make a lot of sense for the team and that would include Drafting a QB to be mentored by Brady.

But if the Pats don't have a starting caliber QB I don't care how good their defense is, they're in trouble. I’ve said all along that I thought the titans made the most sense, if they were interested. They may actually have a better shot at a super bowl next year than the Patriots do. They have one of the best RBs in the NFL, a strong run game, strong o line, weapons on offense, a strong defense and they were just in the AFC championship. Plus Vrabel and Brady are friends. And they have cap space. Where as in New England, they have a number of key free agents and not a ton of cap space (plus brady’s dead cap hit to deal with no matter what iirc). They are likely to lose 2 more starting o linemen this offseason (after losing 2 starters in the previous 2 seasons) and Dante Scarnecchia retired, so he can’t turn guys like Marshall Newhouse into passable starters anymore. Their o line was a disaster last time Scarnecchia retired (that’s why BB talked him into come back). They also have some key free agents on defense. I’d never bet against the patriots, but it’s not hard to see why Brady may view Tennessee as a strong possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterLifer Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think this whole scene is an attention-getting charade by Brady. There is not a top tier team in the NFL that will offer him a contract. Also, there is not a team that will become top tier by signing Brady. His skills are diminishing and he would have to learn a new offense with its personnel. New England is his best option for winning and I believe he knows that. Any place that has a QB opening runs a significant risk of tarnishing his legacy. I foresee a big Patriot group hug coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
