Day to Day
The Boston TV stations have decided to let Michael Felger back on the sports shows after a one year off.
He was right back where he was last year as he and three others were discussing Tom Brady and free agency.
1. Brady has repeatedly said, "It's not about the money!"
2. Tom Brady was born August 3, 1977.
3. Tom Brady has said that wants to play in the NFL until he is 45. That would mean that he wants a 3 year contract.
4. Bill Belichick has not wanted to sign Brady for more than a one year contract. That approach has brought the situation to where it is today.
5. According to sources close to Brady, there are only five teams other than the Patriots who Brady would consider:
Tennessee Titans. Brady and Vrabel have been extremely close friends since Vrabel played for the Patriots and they speak, not text, speak on the phone at least once a week. Tennessee ownership is letting Vrabel take the reins and will accept whatever he can pull off. Problem is that Vrabel may not want to commit $90M for three years guaranteed.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bruce Arians doesn't give a shit about tampering because everyone else has already come forward on Brady. The Bucs are all-in on Brady and will give him the 3 years guaranteed and can surround him with protection and weapons.
Las Vegas Raiders. It's been known since early February that they will pay as much as $105M guaranteed for 3 years. The issue was Gruden's offense. Owner Mike Davis says that Gruden will adjust the offense to Brady's style and not make Brady adjust to Gruden's.
Los Angeles Chargers. They've been very quiet but it's pretty much a given that they will follow the Raiders. They need to sell Personal Licensed Seats and Brady will guarantee that they will sell them. They have the protection and enough weapons to make Brady comfortable. Problem is that Brady and his wife built a mansion in LA and sold it a month after they moved in because they didn't like the lifestyle or area for their kids.
Indianapolis Colts. Nothing much publicly. They have supposedly reached out to Brady's agent and expressed their regret and apologized for Deflategate. It's rumored that the Colts are willing to top the class and offer Brady 3 years and $120M. They have a solid young OL and excellent WRs. If they get Brady, they will also go balls to the wall for Derrick Henry to add to Brady's protection and arsenal.
Felger says that no matter how hard he tries, Kraft cannot offer Brady anything close to what these other teams can offer. Felger believes that BB has already begun to move on and isn't going to waste a lot of time or effort on begging Brady to stay.
