LOL. So true. I figured he was out of New England when he sold his house in Brookline last year.

Maybe he's going to the Bucs because he got tired of winning so much.

At his age, it’s gotta be about the arthritis.

Winston was sacked 47 times in 2019... Good luck Tom!!

Perspective: That's top 5 in the league with a younger, more mobile QB... Good Luck Tom!!

[Jim Richards]

He may also be in to Bingo.

All good points. But we should factor in Winston wrecking plays on his own.

Gotta be a bunch of sacks due to that.

TB’s presence alone will increase morale, which should = O-Line tightening up.

The only reason Brady survived in NE last season was due to a quick hitting passing game. Arians should be able to do that in Tampa since he's partly why Ben Roethlisberger has been in the league for as long as he has. But 5th most sacks for a mobile QB doesn't bode well for Brady unless they can get that quick hitting passing game going in Tampa. With LB and S positions seemingly getting bigger, faster.. every year, TB is gonna need to beef up that line and get a real threat at RB to take some heat off of Brady.

Brady doesn't have the arm for the current Tampa offense, they're gonna a be a lot of changes, Lucy.

Now they can use that $33 million/yr plus whatever tampa bay pays them to buy gooder younger top performers.

Tampa pays NE nothing. Brady is now a free agent with no contractual ties to NE. Rather, their inability to keep him results in a $13M cap hit.

You’re absolutely right about how BB manages his roster though. He has a price associated with each position on his roster. He’s cut or traded players many times before, moves that had people scratching heads but his system has worked for a long time.

Supposedly same offer from Tampa and Chargers.

Personally I think Tampa fans are about to learn that it wasn't Tom, it was the system.

[mattdavis11]

Who is the kicker in Tampa Bay? Must be a good one.

I've always wondered if TB was drafted someplace else, what kind of success would have had?

It really is about BB and the system he created.

Changing players that weren't producing ( or other distracting attributes ) and kept marching forward.

I've been a fan of BB for years, but more for to his postgame interviews and general treatment of the media. He never falls into their bs game of poking and prodding coaches.

In case ya'll forgot...








I predict more success for NE than TB. But that's hard to quantify. TB will be 43 and in a radically new setting.

NE is still doing what they do...next man up, keep moving forward.

Here's some nice examples of BB dealing with media.

Tom has long had a rep of burning defenses when they tried to blitz him, so he didn't get blitzed that often.
he recognized the defense and knew who was open and hit them quick. At least he did until he lost the Gronk.
Loosing him hurt that team more than any other player in recent memory. Gronkowski deserved at least one superbowl MVP and maybe even one league MVP IMO. He made Grady look good.

Grover go long.

Post-season records:
Most receptions by a tight end in Super Bowl history: 23
Most receiving yards by a tight end in Super Bowl history: 297
Most career postseason receiving touchdowns by a tight end: 12
First tight end with 1,000+ career postseason receiving yards
Most career postseason receiving yards by a tight end: 1,163
Youngest player with 3 touchdown receptions in a game, playoffs: 22 years, 275 days (2011 playoffs, vs. Denver Broncos)

Records previously set but no longer held:
Most single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end: 1,327 (2011; broken in 2018 by George Kittle)

That sounds right, I just heard that Brady came with a price tag to keep him from being franchised. Maybe just talk.

If I'm not mistaken Winston is also a free agent. Wonder how that will work out.
The redskins already said no thanks.
Someone speculated Winston to NE but I seriously doubt Bill would go for that.
His style is to snag a young obscure prospect and turn him into a performer.

[Seahawk]

I got a little taste of NFL success as a Niner fan. What the Patriots have accomplished is even mo’ better.

What I like most about Brady is that he knows it is a team game and gives his teammates appropriate credit.
