Quarterback has been the storyline of the 2020 offseason. After an illustrious career with the , Brady is packing up all his trophies and heading south to take over the . The surprising move brought forth many questions: Why? Why now at 42 years old? Were there problems with Bill Belichick?Brady on Wednesday to flesh out all that has happened over the past few years, but some still find it hard to believe the future Pro Football Hall of Famer would want to leave the only home he had ever known to
Curtis Mcelhinney Kids Jersey play for a team that hasn't reached the postseason in over a decade. What will this do to his legacy, and can he find succe s in Bruce Arians' system?This week, CBS Sports analyst and legendary quarterback Phil Simms sat down with Will Brinson of the Pick Six Podcast ( for daily NFL goodne s) to discu s Brady's career in New England, and if he's capable of bringing that kind of succe s to Tampa Bay."They were a great pair, it worked out for both," Simms said about the dynamic duo of Brady and Belichick.
Dominik Masin Jersey "Bill Belichick bailed him out, and Tom Brady bailed Bill Belichick out a few times too. Think of the Super Bowls they won, think of so many things. Think of the Tuck Rule, think of the interception by -- it just goes on. Look at the other games they lost -- the David Tyree catch, oh my gosh. I mean it's amazing. The kick out of bounds by the that gave the Patriots good field position to go down and kick the game-winning field goal, I mean it's amazing what little things and turn of events changed careers and everything that we think about. To be a champion, you need to be really good and you need some breaks too."While Brady and Belichick meshed well together after two decades of football, Brady now faces the challenge of learning a new offense. In 2019, the Buccaneers went 7-9 but had one of the most potent offenses in the league. They averaged 28.6 points per game, which ranked No. 4 in the NFL, and quarterback pa sed for a league-leading 5,109 yards, 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. As the numbers show, Winston was a
Andrej Sustr Kids Jersey gunslinger. He wasn't afraid to take chances downfield and sometimes it worked out for him. Brady isn't exactly expected the lead the league in pa sing yards, but is he compatible with Arians and is Arians' system compatible with Brady?"Well, sure," said Simms. "They are going to put in all the little things that he likes, some of the cute plays -- screens, picks, stuff like that which they were really great at, and some of the quick, play-action throws over the middle which they're really good at. But by and large, yeah, they are going to do certain things, but Tom Brady -- it can be the exact same offense and we will look and go, 'Oh! Look at the changes they are making!' No. The difference will be
Tyler Johnson Kids Jersey that Tom Brady will make a different decision than Jameis Winston did. He'll throw it to the short guy instead of trying to hammer in the 20-yard throw.""(Arians) is going to accept what Tom Brady is and who he is, and I think it's going to end up being a really good relationship personally, and a really good relationship on the field." It's hard to imagine that arguably the best quarterback of all time and the head coach dubbed the "quarterback whisperer" won't be able to find succe s with each other, but will it be enough to take the Buccaneers from pretender to contender? Simms thinks the new dynamic duo in Tampa will get along famously, which certainly bodes well when
Tampa Bay Lightning Jacket it comes to the potential of this team.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters Sunday following that his "heart goes out" to everyone involved in involving his son, Chiefs outside linebackers coach Britt Reid, that left a 5-year-old with life-threatening injuries."My heart goes out to all those that were involved in the accident, in particular, the family

Both the and are monitoring the air quality in Seattle as the two clubs
Michal Neuvirth Jersey gear up for their primetime matchup at CenturyLink Field on Sunday. Due to the wildfires in Washington state bringing the air quality to unhealthy levels, the Seahawks moved their Wednesday practice indoors and the Mariners have even to San Diego.Per rules, if the air quality index reaches 200 or higher, the game will need to be relocated. Seattle's air quality index has hovered around that 200 number over the last few days, but luckily for these clubs, rain in the forecast for Friday is promising for their prospects of playing in Seattle this weekend. "We see a turn in the weather pattern coming before the weekend that should help us out,'' Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday, via . "We're tuned into it, the predictions, if you're paying attention to the science, the predictions are it's gonna move out some here, but anything can happen so we've got to be ready
Petr Mrazek Women Jersey .''Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked about any air quality concerns during his Thursday videoconference with reporters
Michael Raffl Kids Jersey and had a pretty positive outlook but added that his team will be ready to do whatever maneuvering the situation calls for. "Yeah, we're aware of it," he said. "We've looked into it a little bit. I think the forecast that I've seen, tracked them over the last couple of days, looks really pretty promising that there's some wind currents coming in from the Pacific -- not that I know anything about wind currents or meteorology or anything here, but this is other people telling me that -- but that
Brandon Manning Kids Jersey that's going to help. Certainly, by the end of the week, sounds like as early as Friday, things could start to clear up a little bit."So, I'd say from our standpoint really we're going to control the things that we can control. We've talked about po sibly some things that we might be able to do a little bit differently if nece sary. Right now, I don't really think that it appears that will be nece sary, but we'll monitor that situation and see. So, yeah, thanks for asking about that, but I'd say right now it's tracking to where we don't anticipate a major problem, but we'll be prepared if things change." New England and Seattle were both able to earn their first wins of the season in Week 1, so each will try to move to 2-0 in 2020 when they

The 2020 NFL offseason has been bonkers in more ways
John Moore Women Jersey than one. Players and teams can't be in the same room as one another, drafts are set to be held remotely () and we don't have any idea when offseason activities can even begin. Still, all of this change hasn't stopped quarterback movement in the . In fact, it's been in hyperdrive this offseason. Philip Rivers has joined the Colts, Nick Foles was traded to the Bears and, oh yeah, Tom Brady is a Buc. Strange times, indeed.Despite all that movement already, there are still a handful of teams that still either have an immediate need at the position or will be in need in the next few years to come. Below, you'll see a list of seven clubs that fit into that category and we've detailed some realistic avenues they could take to fill those needs, while also giving our best/most plausible recommendation either through the draft, free agency, via trade or a po sible promotion from someone in-house.Teams that you won't find on this list that could fall into this category are the Bengals, Raiders and Bears. For Cincinnati, their position at quarterback is pretty obvious as they are set to take LSU's Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick. As for Chicago and Las Vegas, they both have at least two quarterbacks on the roster that will be battling for QB1 over the course of the early portion of the 2020 season, so it seemed moot to add even more to their situation.Alright, with all that out of the way, let's dig in and find some quarterbacks that can help get these teams get one step closer to contention. Miami DolphinsOptions: Draft Tua Tagovailoa, sign Cam Newton, trade for Jacoby Bri settWhile the Dolphins have been pegged all offseason as the landing spot for Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, their path to acquiring him isn't as concrete as Cincinnati's with Joe Burrow, which is why they make the list. Currently, they sit at No. 5 overall at the 2020 draft, which does leave the door open for someone to leapfrog them at either No. 2 (WSH) or No. 3 (DET) to take him.Of course, they could also elect to use some of their tremendous draft capital they've compiled to move up and further solidify their position with Tagovailoa. That would
Michael Mcleod Jersey be my recommendation. Brian Flores is building a really strong culture down in Miami and the Dolphins appear to be a team on the rise in the AFC East, especially after dumping a boatload of money on defense by adding corner Byron Jones, linebacker Kyle Van Noy and others this offseason. One of the biggest pieces in the puzzle, however, is finding that franchise quarterback. Tagovailoa appears to be on that trajectory. He has all the talent to be a No. 1 overall prospect, but injuries and Burrow's historic season put all that to rest. That said, now, which should further incentivize Miami to trade up to make sure they get their quarterback.Cam Newton is an honorable
John Moore Men Jersey mention if the Dolphins somehow mi s on Tagovailoa. He's a former league MVP and, if healthy, could help Miami compete almost instantly in the division, especially with Tom Brady moving on to Tampa. I mention Jacoby Bri sett as a Plan C of sorts because of Flores' familiarity with the quarterback from their days in New England. If he wants to bring in a veteran with some upside instead of rolling with Ryan Fitzpatrick again, this wouldn't be a bad option. Best/most plausible recommendation: Trade up to select TagovailoaNew England PatriotsOptions: Draft Jordan Love, trade for Andy Dalton, roll with Jarrett StidhamThe New England Patriots are in unfamiliar territory. Now that Tom Brady is a member of the Bucs, ending their two-decade long relationship, the team is looking for a new starting quarterback to usher in this new era. By all indications, the club's intention is to give second year signal caller Jarrett Stidham every opportunity to take ahold of the starting spot. That would be my recommendation as well, but with a bit of an added twist. Stidham should have every chance to become the starter in New England for at least the 2020 season. After all, he did spent an entire season behind Tom Brady in New England's system, so he should have a leg up on every other quarterback outside of po sibly Brian Hoyer, who is on his third stint with the team. Stidham has also received a lot of praise from various Patriots players this offseason and did have a really strong preseason in 2019, so that has to count for something right?Basically, New England should see what they have in their 2019 fourth round pick, but I don't think they should just stand pat. If someone like Utah State's Jordan Love falls to them at No. 23, it'd take a long look at po sibly making that pick. If they are intent on
Jesper Bratt Jersey allowing Stidham to be QB1 in 2020, however, taking a guy in the first round will hardly help him build his confidence. That's why looking at a second or third tier prospect may not be a bad alternative. If I were to catch Bill Belichick's ear, Jalen Hurts is a pretty appealing prospect for a number of reasons. He'd be an attainable Day 2 selection, provides some long-term insurance if Stidham fails to be a viable starter and worst case could fill a Taysom Hill-type role in Josh McDaniels' offense. Despite playing at Oklahoma last year, Hurts does have a history with Belichick confidant Nick Saban at Alabama, too.Best/most plausible recommendation: Give Jarrett Stidham inside track at starting job and draft Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts Pittsburgh SteelersOptions: Sign Jameis Winston, draft Jacob EasonBen Roethlisberger is on the books for two more seasons and, despite mi sing e sentially all of the 2019 season due to an elbow injury, he plans on returning. With that in mind, Pittsburgh doesn't have an immediate need at quarterback like New England and Miami, but Big Ben is going to enter the 2020 season as a 38-year-old, so the clock is ticking on his time in the NFL. One somewhat positive thing that came out of last season for the Steelers is at least they Mason Rudolph nor Devlin Hodges are the long-term answer post-Roethlisberger, which makes their mi sion of finding a new signal caller to eventually take the reins clear.Pittsburgh could always dip their toe into the draft and select someone like Jacob Eason and develop him over the next few seasons, but I do love the fit and po sible upside of signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston. Yes, Winston has his limitations and his decision-making hasn't been a strong suit by any means, but I do think landing in Pittsburgh provides him with one of the best chances of resurrecting his career. For the first time in his NFL life, Winston would have the pre sure of being
Blake Coleman Kids Jersey the starter on a weekly basis completely taken off him and this could give him the time to simply work on correcting his faults. He's still only 26-years-old and did throw for 5,109 yards last season, so there is talent there. It'd
Atlanta Falcons quarterback is undeterred by the team's 0-2 start to the season, in part because there'll be an extra opportunity -- in the form of a 17th regular season game -- to wash away the
New Jersey Devils Men Jersey early stumble.The Falcons have looked dismal, particularly on defense, in lo ses of to the Philadelphia Eagles and to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their average allowance of 40 points per game through two weeks is an NFL-worst. Yet, some of those points don't fall on the defense, as the Bucs pick-sixed Ryan twice in Week 2 and needed only an 18-yard drive to cash another touchdown coming off yet another Ryan interception.The quarterback isn't looking back, however, as the Falcons the New York Giants in Week 3."Seventeen games," Ryan . "You can throw all the old stats out.
Damon Severson Kids Jersey With that extra game, none of
Ben Lovejoy Jersey those rules apply that were there before. We've got a long way to go. We've got 15 games to go. I think we're a young team that made strides from Week 1 to Week 2. We need to continue to make strides as we go into Week 3. If we can do that, I really feel like we've got enough weapons and the right people that we can correct this thing and
Scott Stevens Jersey get it moving in the right direction."The odds are certainly stacked against Ryan and the Falcons.Since 1990, teams starting the season 0-2 have reached the postseason at a rate of just 11.6 percent, according to NFL Research, and only 5.8 percent won their division. Then again, those are numbers derived from a 16-game regular season schedule. And for Ryan, it's a new day."I think the biggest thing is we're capable of being in the mix," Ryan added. "Keeping ourselves relevant late into the season, in December and January. I think
Taylor Hall Kids Jersey we're capable of doing that ... It's just about getting hot at the right time."The sooner, the better, if history is a guide. And the Giants, 0-2 themselves, will have the same sense of urgency on Sunday.
The are bringing a familiar face back to Foxborough. The club is expected to sign veteran linebacker to a deal, according to . The actual avenue that leads Collins initially back on the Patriots, however, is still a bit unclear as the team could either elect to
Taylor Chorney Women Jersey sign him to the active roster or bring him aboard via the practice squad. Regardle s of the road, it'll lead to Collins back with the Patriots for his fourth stint with the franchise.The 32-year-old was drafted by New England in the second round of the 2013 out of Southern Mi s. He spent his first three full seasons in the league with the Patriots and helped
Devante Smith Pelly Men Jersey the club to a XLIX win over the in 2014. During his fourth season in the league, the club shipped Collins to the in the middle of
Alex Ovechkin Jersey the season, in what was one of the more shocking trades of Bill Belichick's tenure. NE OLB #58 After spending a handful of seasons in Cleveland, Collins was released in the spring of 2019 and eventually found his way back to the club for that coming season. Following that one-year
Jakub Vrana Jersey reunion, he signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the -- who were then led by Matt Patricia -- in March of 2020. That stint in Detroit lasted just a season-and-a-half and was released in the middle of the 2021 campaign and he'd eventually latch back on with the Patriots.in 122 career regular season games,
Jay Beagle Jersey Collins has totaled 706 tackles, 26.5 sacks, and 39 pa s breakups. This move does give New England -- who just surrendered 5.7 yards per carry in the OT lo s to Green Bay on Sunday -- some depth at the linebacker position with someone extremely familiar with their defense, so Collins should be up-and-running in relatively short order.
The Watt family knows how to produce football players. All three boys, J.J., T.J., and Derek, have made it to the NFL and have each enjoyed varying degrees of succe s. Of course, the most decorated is the
Rod Langway Jersey eldest, , who took the league by storm after he was selected by the in the first round of the 2011 . That said, is gaining on him as he enters his sixth season in the league and is fresh off a 2021 campaign where he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors after tying the single-season sack record.Even with those accolades, however, T.J. doesn't think he's anywhere comparable to his brother quite yet."I think I'm too early in my career to compare myself to him at the moment honestly," T.J. told .He also suggested that his brother's prime is currently being slept on in the football world and
Aliaksei Protas Men Jersey highlighted just how dominant he was when he first stepped into the league. "I do think that it's misconstrued. I want people to know how great my brother truly was in his prime," Watt said. "I think that it gets lost in today's -- and I know that he would
Nicklas Backstrom Kids Jersey be upset if I said this -- but I think it truly is. You go back and you look at it, you watch the film, the guy was fricking unstoppable. Like absolutely unstoppable. He'll never say it, but it's like ... I think people need to go back and look at that. The guy was doing incredible things for four or five years, and I still think that he can play at
Tom Wilson Jersey a high level." ARI DE #99 Watt does have a point. From 2012 to 2015, there was nobody better than his brother. Over that four-season stretch, he was named first-team All-Pro each year, won Defensive Player of the Year three times, led the in sacks twice, and had two seasons of 20-plus sacks which made him the first player in NFL history to accomplish such a feat.In that time, he AVERAGED 17.3 sacks a year, 29.8 tackles for a lo s, 47.5 quarterback hits, and 3.8 forced fumbles. Watt was also second in MVP voting in 2014 only
Nick Jensen Kids Jersey losing out to quarterback , which is unheard of for a defensive player in today's NFL. Injuries started to derail that historic pace for Watt, but his brother's point remains that J.J.'s peak was arguably better than or as good as anyone's in NFL history.

His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has confirmed as much, , saying the Jets actually reached the first agreement with Kansas City for a potential trade, but that Hill

In Graham's second season with the Packers, he caught 38 pa ses for 447 yards and three touchdowns.
