The Jokeman Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 4 hours ago, ALF said: Brady’s agent reportedly is meeting with the Colts, Chargers and Raiders at the combine — and not with the Giants — while negotiations with the Patriots are on hold until salary cap parameters are known after the new collective bargaining agreement is voted on. Patriots could turn Jacob Eason into Tom Brady 2.0 https://nypost.com/2020/02/29/patriots-could-turn-jacob-eason-into-tom-brady-2-0/ Might be leverage to get a bigger contract from NE*, although two indoor stadiums and a new one in good weather would be tempting. Any relation to Tony Eason? Personally I could see the Patriots doing after Marcus Mariota. As he's still young and can see McDaniels trying to make him an offense like he did with Tim Tebow. 2
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 4 hours ago, ny33 said: Let’s presume, for the purpose of this discussion, that Brady is going elsewhere (probably Tennessee, LA, or Vegas). There’s been plenty of speculation on where he might go, but not much discussion on who would replace him. Belichick should have a shot at Jordan Love or Jacob Eason without moving up. I think Bridgewater would be a good fit in his offense with a rookie learning behind him, or Belichick might be looking towards the 2021 rookie crop. I don’t see Winston, Rivers etc. ending up on the Patriots. If the Cheatriots want Jordan Love, they will need to move up to get ahead of Indianapolis. I doubt that they will do that. Eason may not even make it to pick 23 but should fall far enough for them to make a reasonable move to get him. I'm not sold on the idea that Bellicheat wants Brady back. He may be ready to go to an established veteran game manager, groom a young guy, rely on a strong running game, and play good defense for a couple of years. The guy that I'm watching is Alex Smith. If he is recovered from his leg injury, Washington will probably release him. He is just the kind of player that Bellicheat likes. He's experienced, smart, and doesn't turn the ball over. Bridgewater and Dalton are also decent options IMHO. I think you are absolutely correct about Winston and Rivers. I would also throw Newton on that pile. 1
stuvian Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Ryan Fitzpatrick - if only to complete the ACFE jersey collection. In all seriousness I expect Jacoby Brissett. Apparently BB was quite upset at having to turn him loose at the outset. 4
DCOrange Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I would guess Mariota and Stidham fight for the starting gig if Brady leaves (which I still don’t expect even though media is portraying it as a near certainty).
Rc2catch Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I would have to guess it would be Mariota as the favorite, followed by the possibilities of Tannehill and Dalton. Regardless who goes there including Brady I think we’ll see a much different team focused on the run game. Michel and White is a pretty lethal combo of run/pass options.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Guerrero will just have to sell to other players directly. * * Oh, QB. ? I should read more than just the thread title. 1
Don Otreply Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 It Would have to be someone who is open to participating in a scheme to side step the rules of good sportsmanship, so that may or may not limit who would want to go their voluntarily as a FA. 1

If the Buffalo fans agree to continue to supply ‘adult appliances’ to the New England QB, maybe that will be a selling point. ? 1

Interesting thought... though I do think it would be better if Tawmy was the continued recipient of said adult appliances regardless of his next destination. In fact wouldn’t it be grand if opposing teams fans from around the league participated in supplying said appliances during every game he plays, that would be super don’t you think?

White Linen Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I just hope it turns out bad for both sides. Even if that means staying together.
thronethinker Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I’m really firm in my belief that Brady staying is the best scenario for Bills. He’s washed up and will drain funds. Last thing we want is a younger vet like Tannehill going in there. 1
LABILLBACKER Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 He'll tank with Stidham and draft Trevor Lawrence next year.

WhoTom Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Josh Allen. I assumed you meant, "Who replaces him as the best QB in the AFCE?" 2
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Tony Eason was drafted by Patriots in 1983 one pick after Bills selected Kelly. In an odd twist, Jacob Eason’s father is named Tony, but it is not the same Tony Eason that was drafted in 1983 by the Patriots
apuszczalowski Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Im thinking Marriotta goes there and looks better then he looked in Tennessee
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 2 hours ago, ScottLaw said: Bridgewater. I feel like the pats think they are good enough to win with a cheap option at QB. Bridgewater figures to get paid. I have a feeling they go with the backup they currently have or else someone on a 1 or 2-year deal, like a Mariotta or even a trade for Dalton.
