That begs the question, can Brady own a team and play for a team in two different cities? Or does it have to be the same city? 

 

He can own the Dolphins and play for the TB Lightning, I believe...

Also, what a slimy move by Brady if that is true.  

 

 

I would think the other owners would be against setting the precedent of an active player being part-owner of a team

I would agree.  This would provide an easy avenue to circumvent the salary cap.

[RocCityRoller]

from his show this morning:

 

Brady and Arians relationship was bad

 

Brady was going to take a role with the Dolphins, as part player and part front office

Sean Peyton was going to join as HC

 

Then the Brian Flores story broke and the plans were scrapped.

 

The Bucs saw the opportunity to bring Brady back, if Arians took a different role on the team.

 

Can anyone else verify what Cowherd said this morning?

It's been reported elsewhere.  The problem is both the Saints and Bucs would have demanded major compensation from the Dols because they were both still under contract.  And I doubt the Bucs would have done it anyway.

Yeah, it was a few pages down on my mobile browser.

 

Profootballfocus and Cowherd confirming the story yesterday and this morning.

In a just world Brady would look like Big Ben of last year. slow, old, and zero arm. 

 

Instead, I'm sure he'll win MVP and at least play in the Super Bowl.

Isnt this like old news from a week or two ago?

[machine gun kelly]

I’m with Sal that even Brady in Miami, I’d take Allen and the Bills over them.

 

Their defense was horrible last year.

That don't confront me long as New England gets its conditional draft pick. 😁

Absolutely crazy...

[DrDawkinstein]

Thank you, Brian Flores. And thank you, Bill Belichick for that "accidental" text message.

[TBBills]

Think it's time for Brady to get an old man injury and be finished with the NFL.

At least that article proves Dunkirk Don was Ben Volin.  ("But it’s fairly easy to connect the dots.") 😁

Tom Brady Reportedly Only Returned to the Bucs After Miami Dolphins Deal Fell Through

 

Quote

New information has surfaced regarding Tom Brady's unretirement. In a recent article from The Boston Globe, Ben Volin reported that Brady initially did want to retire, but had much bigger plans in mind.

Hmmm. 
wondering if the Tampering angle deserves its own thread 

https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-should-want-to-know-how-truthful-allegations-of-tom-brady-dolphins-backdoor-trade-are-005621548.html
 

Quote

The Miami Dolphins wanted Tom Brady, Brady wanted the Dolphins, and the Brian Flores lawsuitagainst the team blew up the mutual pursuit. That’s the alleged storyline now in play, finally offering a believable decryption of the why behind Brady’s puzzling six-week retirement this offseason.

 

Quote

If Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and Brady were constructing a backdoor strategy to make him Miami’s starter in 2022 — first having him “retire” from the Bucs to become a Miami executive, then eventually forcing a trade of his player rights — how did such an elaborate plan come together without a staggering amount of tampering?

The league won't even go after Snyder...they definitely ignore this

The details about minority ownership, and the impact of the Flores suit were new or confirmed info. It was all laid out in the link I provided, and has been fleshed out in the posts following.

 

Seemed like news to me.

[May Day 10]

There was no-doubt tampering.  

 

I also think its a terrible slippery slope to offer active players any sort of executive role and/or ownership stake.  That is cap circumvention if they are compensated for it in assets.... also, if that starts to become a routine contract demand, the league will be the mess.  Eventually, every good QB who hits the market, followed by star D-linemen, etc will start to demand all sorts of ownership stakes along with their contracts.
