Or they’re going to give a 43 year old nearly 50% more than we give a 27 year old...

We'll probably end up paying more money to our TB than they do theirs. Brady is only on a one year deal. Bridgewater is on a three year deal. I just hope like hell there's an out after year two, if not year one.

Expectation is 2 years and Brady has said repeatedly he wants to play until he’s 45 (which would actually be 3 more seasons). I’d be shocked if Tampa had any outs in this contract, Brady had a ton of leverage. I’d also be shocked if Teddy has any guaranteed money past year 2. But we’ll see the details when they come out. The average per year is in our favor, without a doubt.

Good I hate the Pats rather they get that scrub than Cam. Hope Cam goes to Chargers, a team I’m fine with and in the AFC. I’m okay with Bears too but prefer AFC. I’d love love love to see him in Vegas with Gruden but doubt that’s happening with Mariota signed and Carr there being praised by them daily.

Well, I mean they have Tom Brady and we have Teddy Bridgewater. The average our year had better be in our favor.

Forget the names for a second and look at how they played last year. Brady was horrible and will only get worse at age 43 and beyond. Bucs aren’t going to win a SB with him, I can guarantee that, and it’ll only hurt them in the future beyond Beady’s time there.

As of now we are just getting a 4th. May get 6 and 7 from GVR and Irvin.

We aren't winning a SB with Bridgewater either. Honestly, all he might do is win just enough games to keep us from landing a Lawrence or Fields next year

I don’t disagree but it’s not clear we plan on him being the franchise QB. Who was the first person Mahomes gave credit to after Reid for the SB win? A guy not even on the roster... Alex Smith. There is value in having someone like that to help mentor and develop a young QB (very possible 1 drafted this year, but if not next year). And Teddy is the perfect QB to mentor and lead a young QB and other young players and show them how it’s done. He’s a 100% team guy with all the character in the world and fits the role as well as anyone. The money we gave him clearly indicates bridge QB, not franchise QB. Let’s see what happens.

Heard we are involved w Leonard Floyd. Would be a great young pick up

Rams are looking to trade Gurley.

Seems like everywhere you look teams are trying to shed big money contracts for running backs.

Anyone in a hurry to give McCaffrey a blank check is living in a fantasy world that likely won't involve much winning.

To be fair there are not many backs like CMC who can double as an elite slot receiver. I would give him the money and build an offense around him. He is basically two players in one and you can line him up in multiple spots.
