NFL: 2020 NFL Off-season Thread
- Thread starter BigJCy

I don't think things are all that great in PatriotWorld right now. All signs are pointing to Brady leaving, and now Edelman is making some noise, too. Maybe Belichick's schtick is getting old.........
I dunno. I think all this noise - Niners! Titans! Bucs! - is coming from Brady's camp.
Anything is possible, but my gut feeling is that he ends up back with the Pats at least through next season. Does he really want to start over somewhere else at 42? His best possible path back to another SB is still in the AFC East, where it's not as if the rest of the division is catching up with them any time soon and they can pretty much cruise to a division title and at least one guaranteed home playoff game.
The Bucs are all over the place. There are rumors tying them to Bridgewater or Rivers or even Tannehill, or trading up in the draft. And it's still possible that they run it back with Jameis.
I think the powers that be are meeting today to talk it over, but as of last night it was business as usual. Teams were attending pro days and the upcoming league meetings, the start of free agency, and of course the draft are all still scheduled to go on. Throw in the ongoing CBA vote for the players and all told it's a pretty bonkers time for the NFL even though it's the offseason.
Several teams are pulling their coaches and scouts off the road. The league canceled its annual meeting that was supposed to be held the last weekend in March, but for the time being they're moving ahead with the start of the league year and free agency. We'll see. They said they had no plans to delay the start of the league year, but the phrase "no plans" leaves them some wiggle room.
Didn't expect the Chargers to tag Henry. That's a nice little payday for a guy who just can't seem to stay healthy. Slim pickings at the TE spot in free agency. Looks like the best option is Austin Hooper.
