Miami is the perfect situation if they give up on Tua... [Reply]

Or Tennessee with a small chance of Miami depending what Tua does the rest of the year.
I think he will avoid Miami though with the lawsuit and bad optics. [Reply]

I think SF is a better option than Miami for him, because Shanahan is going to be on the hotseat, and won't risk it on a young QB.
Shanny is going to be in Denver before long. [Reply]

Won't happen. Brady is old and will look for the easy road. AFC is loaded so it's NFC or nothing. Only SF has the roster he would like. If not them then he's done. [Reply]

Sleeper team next year would be LV. McDaniels and Brady reunion without BB.
They have weapons on offense and they could trade Carr for some picks so they can stack the defense. Plus aging players who have a year or two left might join just for a chance at a potential SB. [Reply]
Brady will reunite with Belicheat. They will start taping defenses again, deflate balls, put secret microphones in opposing lockers and then go 9-8 because they lack talent from drafting like shit. [Reply]

It'll be Josh McDaniel's before it is ever BB. [Reply]

Tua would have to probably leave this year with significant injury or under a serious cloud 3) Bucs -- continuity and has probably made some friends there... 4) NE -- he can probably deal with BB enough for a short stint 5) NY Giants -- if Giants like their team but don't like Daniel Jones enough. Probably not a great fit but closer to his oldest son.
