Tom Brady soon to be on the move? If the opportunity presented itself, what if...?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am a new poster here, I will put my efforts to be a casual one. I however, live in Denver and love no other team over my Denver Broncos! Why am I here? I have seen, followed, and cheered Clausen since he started for Notre Dame. He was my favorite Quarterback in the draft and one of the best picks of the past two years. Yes, better than Stafford and Sanchez, JaMarcus Russell, McCoy, and Bradford. So as of now I like Carolina as my close second favorite team. Go Panthers!!

Now, onto my main topic.

Tom Brady is a golden child of the NFL, a pathed road to Canton Ohio. However his contract is about up. And Tom Brady does not deny that he would like to be traded. If Montana and Jerry Rice can do it, why not him?

Take a look

Here's some more from the radio guys' talk with the quarterback ...

<strong> On the contract in general:</strong> "The thing is, no matter what I want, it doesn’t matter. I could say this is exactly what I want. I’m not gonna be really attached to that, because it’s not up to me. There are a lot of people involved. Every player on the team wants a contract, and to be fairly compensated. So does Logan (Mankins), you know? So did Vince (Wilfork) last year, so do all the other third-year guys, so does Wes (Welker). I mean, Wes doesn’t make a lot of money, but he’s one of best receivers in the league. We all want to be compensated fairly, but we also understand we signed contracts and that’s why we’re here to show up and give our best."

On showing up without a new deal: "That’s how my dad would want me to handle it, and that’s how he taught me to handle it. Show up and play and do what you said you’re gonna do and that’s what I’m doing. That’s where my mind’s at. I just want to have a great season. I want to be the leader the team expects me to be. I want to play at a level that I expect myself to play at. If your mind is full of all these things – ‘Man, I wish it was like this’ or ‘I wish it was like that’ – then it really defeats the attitude, it’s really a self-destructive attitude. Now if everything was up to me like it’s up to a professional golfer, that’s different. But it’s a team sport and a team relationship."

On playing golf with Robert Kraft: "He and I haven’t had many chances to talk over the last six or seventh months. He asked me to come down and play, and I wasn’t doing much, my wife was out of town. I haven’t had a chance to play much, so I decided to take him up on it."

On his relationship with ownership: "We’ve been through a lot. It’s been a great relationship since I’ve been, with myself and the team and the organization and I don’t want anything to ever get in the way of that. You gotta be able to separate what the good part of a relationship is, and then obviously the parts of the relationship that you’d rather not deal with. You have to deal with them. ... Mr. Kraft and Jonathan and the family, they’ve done everything they could to make this organization the best one in the league. The way that they treat us, with our stadium, with our practice facility, with the way they handle our travel and our food, we’re so well taken care. It’s a great place to play and obviously I hope I’m here for a long time. So we’ll see how that goes."

If he becomes available would Carolina be able to nab him with a 1st and Matt Moore? If it were possible would you want to pull the trigger?

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
