They aren’t going to trade Brady inside the AFC and Brady wouldn’t ask for it.
Thus if Belichick and Brady both wanted to move on it would be an NFC team.
A dark horse could be Detroit if they moved Stafford but I don’t see that happening as Brady went to Michigan.
Brady has one year left on his deal so the Patriots could eat one year of dead money and Brady’s base salary is the minimum thus he could be traded easily.
The problem is does Brady and Belichick want a split. Belichick is going to cut Gronk/Hightower/Allen this offseason and open up 30 million dollars in cap space. Does Brady throw a fit and would he want a split is why Curran is saying he could move on.
Dallas has a QB who isn’t a top half of the league QB and is on a rookie deal so they don’t have much money invested in the position. That and they have a competitive team is why he would be the best current fit.

I would prefer the team keep Brady cut those 3 guys and just invest in putting players around Brady but nobody knows if both Brady/Belichick want that.

Jerry Jones farts in the general direction of proper salary cap management.

Dak will get a 5-7 year $100M plus extension.

Edelman fined 3 times for unnecessary roughness

 

[NateW]

Alright - give me some quick fantasy thoughts...

Robert Foster or Randall Cobb?

 

[Guinness]

I truly don't know what to think of Dak. You are correct, his best year was a couple years ago when he had the top offensive line as a rookie. Small sample size, but Dak has looked better, but not consistently, with Amari Cooper on the team. I don't think Dak is as good as he was the year he took over for Romo, also don't think he is as bad as he looked last year and earlier this year. I still don' t know what to think of him long term after three years.

He is a 4th round pick playing in his third year. Romo had not even seen the field at that point of his career. He is a project and we are watching his growing pains live instead of in practice like most 4th rounders.

I am against a big contract. I want to see him year 4 and 5 make strides and become a true vet and starter before paying him.

 

[Guinness]

The giants playing Eli indicate he is next year's starter? Otherwise why not play the back ups to see what you got.

Seahawks at Cowboys is going to be primetime game on Saturday.
Bears/Rams will host Sunday.

I see the Joe Flacco hit is still fresh in everyones mind. That was not a targeting attempt by Kiko

He literally could not have tried harder to lead with his helmet lol. If you want to give him the benefit of the doubt despite his reputation at this point, you could say he purposefully missed at the end, but he still initially dove and tried to spear him before maybe realizing he was sliding.

Considering he purposely dove infront of Allen to miss him I dont see why it matters where his head was.

This game’s garbage I cant stand how bad the Phins look. I hope our young talent stays when Gase is fired

 

[BuffOrange]

Seriously why do the Texans exist. They just make everything worse. Please please lose in round 1.

Not sure what you mean.

All the Giants have are backups.

I you mean at QB, they don’t have 1. They have a journeymen QB who has never started a game in 8 years and a 4th round pick who emabarrased every 4th rnd pick in history when played earlier.

Roll with Eli for 2 more years...

All is not well in Jacksonville

Jags VP: Fournette, Yeldon 'disrespectful, selfish'

Eli is a 15 year vet. I was asking why play him in a game that was meaninglessness. You already know what you have in him. If he was going to be your starter for 2 more years why risk injury?

Report: NFL Network's Mike Mayock 'firmly in the mix' for Raiders GM job

 

[Briancuse]

For a meaningless game the cowboys giants game was a lot of fun.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Could be a truly epic ravens collapse

 

[Melancer46]

Damn, I really wanted to see Lamar in the playoffs instead of the Steelers again. Not looking good.

 

[Alsacs]

NFC side of the bracket way stronger than the AFC side.

I think NO is going to win the NFC because of HFA but 3-6 in the NFC way stronger than the AFC 1-6.

I like Wentz a lot but for whatever reason Philly is a better team with Foles. Hate to be Chicago next week. They are going to eat Trubisky up.

 

[Alsacs]

1 in a 100. I will say since Mariotta is out if the Titans d shows up there is a chance.

Should have kept the coach and canned the QB.

Neither the Colts nor the Titans have ever been involved in a tie game. It would be a hell of a bet though,
