[quote=Chico23231;1245880]If Brady doesn't come back to Pats...he goes to the 49ers. I think its 50-50 right now[/quote]

How could they afford to pay $60 mil for the QB position?

Tom contract demands are overblown...San Fran I believe is close to where he grew up and I think he was a 49ers and Montana/young fan growing up. This isn’t about the money, he will go a place he can win a championship which is the Pats or a “now” contender

I does seem strange that all of a sudden the talking heads claim Brady wants to get paid after never prioritizing money in the past. Flipping stations driving around yesterday so I don't know where I heard it, rumor has it the rift in New England is due to Brady steering players toward his people when it comes to rehabbing injuries and not using the Patriot staff and facilities. Supposedly control freak Belichick isn't happy about that.

Tom is from San Mateo 20 minutes from Levy Stadium, if this happens he might recruit Julian Edelman who is from Redwood City, right down the road. Personally I doubt all this will happen, there is a fan poll going around and 71% want Jimmy G.

True. Aside from Collins last year.... and Norman a few years prior to that...

In today's NFL it's basically whoever the most recently signed player is that will set the market at that position.

I Agree, he's better than Bradberry overall and has shut down some really good WRs

Who knows what is smoke and what is real interest at this stage. Interesting if true though bc that would mean 2 NFC E teams are in and, presumably, they would know the player better than non-division teams.

Bradberry or Jones ... I assume we add one, and am resigned to the fact that we will have to overpay but with top end FAs that what you have to do.

Just hope its in the 15M range at most.

Re: 3/18 @4pm NFL Free Agency & Trading Period
 

Fuck it, sign em both (Bradberry and Jones). Throw in Hooper. That's like 40-45 million in cap space for next year. We have 61. Think we can still create more by extending Kerrigan, etc. And the cap is supposedly going up quite a bit next couple years.

I wonder if Bradberry is Redskins' back up plan if they aren't able to sign Jones. That would would make more sense than the rumors that Bradberry is expected to sign with Redskins simply because of the connection to Riveria.

Really better not hear any bitching when he goes 4 seasons without a pick for us.

People don't throw his way much, and he plays Man coverage mostly so that has a big part to do with it

Seriously who wants Tom Brady? IMO he has one year left at best and you better surround him with an ALL PRO offense otherwise he isn't doing poop.
