The rumors of Tom Brady leaving New England have officially heated up at the NFL combine. Should Tom go to the Raiders and play in a new stadium that looks like Darth Vader was the lead architect? Reports from around the league indicate Tom Brady is done with the Patriots. Where should Brady go? Where I think he will go, and where I'd like to see Tom Brady go is covered. Plus the Washington Redskins should pick Tua Tagovailoa with the second pick - I'm done with Dwayne Haskins and Washington should be too.
The rumors of Tom Brady leaving New England have officially heated up at the NFL combine. Reports from around the league indicate Tom Brady's divorce with the Patriots is really happening. Where does Tom go from here?
We cover three angles of the story. The first being where Tom should go? The answer is simple - Tom should call up Bill Belichick, apologize for being un-patriot like and agree to sign a two year contract at a deeply discounted price. Look I don't think this will happen unless the free agent market for 43 year old quarterbacks with weak arms isn't as strong as Tom thinks it is. Since, the Patriots have no apparent QB replacement in mind, taking TB12 back would be the smartest thing for the Pats to do!
So where do I think Tom Brady will go? I know many of you think Tom should go to the LA Chargers. When I ask people why? They always say because its warm! Look the Chargers have a terrible offense line, less than zero fan support and an owner that prefers to save money, rather than try to win a ring. Simply put - the Chargers are cheap.
The sun of Southern California, the new stadium, and the Hollywood celebrity factor could be too much for Tom to pass up, but in the end I think Tom will settle down with his old buddy Mike Vrabel in Tennessee. The Titans have a fantastic offense line, a great running game which would take the pressure off Tom's weak arm and most importantly Tom would remain in the east which would give him a chance to beat up on his former team.
Now, lets discuss where I would love to see Tom go. Can you say the Las Vegas Raiders. Just think about the last team in the NFL that you'd expect to see Tom play for from an image perspective and your left with the silver and black of the Raiders. A beautiful new stadium which looks like Darth Vader was the lead architect behind the design. Unlike the Chargers, the Las Vegas Raiders games will be sold out.
The Raiders have such a loyal fan base that many of them would mortgage their houses to watch the Raiders play in a third world country. From a personal perspective this team is clearly on the rise thanks to Mike Mayocks leadership. Tom would own Vegas and their would be nothing better than watching a clean-cut guy like Tom Brady turn into a Raider. I wonder if Tom would call up the lost in the forrest looking Ben Roethlisberger and ask for advice on how to grow an out of control beard.
Plus the Washington Redskins should pick Tua Tagovailoa with the second pick - I'm done with Dwayne Haskins and Washington should be too.
