Quite a few things happening in the NFL right now.

A new Collective Bargaining Agreement barely passed which will come into effect from 2021 season (17 games each, extra playoff spots) - it means no upcoming strike.

Free agency opens this week and already there have been some big moves.

  • DeAndre Hopkins traded from the Texans to the Cardinals

  • DeForest Buckner traded from the 49ers to the Colts (for the 13th overall pick in the upcoming draft).

Brady's next team will be the Tampa Bay Bucs by the sounds.

But we can still hate the Pats, right? 🙂

That's classy. Tom moving almost reminds me of the scene from "For the love of the game." Perhaps Tom moves on to allow his team to strengthen again without having to suffer through his final years

Word on the street is that Brady saw the huge moves for teams to get players like Hopkins and Diggs, then thought stuff it, Pats aren't gonna get anyone and packed his bags for Tampa.

What's in Tampa? I don't recall them being close to contention. Tom just wants nicer weather in his semi-retirement?

Cap space?

One story is that Gisele is not keen on living in California so that would rule out the Chargers. Brady is from CA.

They have a lot of weapons - Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, OJ Howard etc.

They also have a veteran coach who has successfully worked with veteran QBs in the past (Carson Palmer in Zona).

Bucs are now a contender.

Shit, is that official? Only one easy trip to Florida this season, as the Dolphins have also recruited well and have a squillion draft pics. Don't know when the last time was that anyone could say that.
