2022 NFL Offseason Thread

A believable theory - Brady retired to explore options to go to SF who he grew up following. Once he knew that they weren’t interested and before the open FA window today, he came back to the Bucs so there was clarity for them in FA.

First Brady….

Fake, but funny. He isn't coming out of retirement. I miss seeing him play though. Dude was an absolute freak.

Bill Simmons has been on top of this the whole time. He was confidently saying retirement before the season was over. Ever since the retirement, he's been talking about Brady trying to work his way to SFO or Miami. Besides whatever inside information BS has, Arians was giving us clues. I can't remember the exact quotes, but basically the message was "if Tom Brady plays, he'll play for us."

It was a staring contest. Brady saw what happened with FA's and trades across the league, but also with the Bucs tagging Godwin, and he decided to blink. Tampa is set up for success, much more so than Miami and SFO. Even though the NFC is down, the NFC west is not.

Browns going hard for Watson. AFC North and West would only have one QB who isn't top 15 and six top 10 QB's

Lamar
Burrow
Watson
Wilson
Mahomes
Herbert
Carr

And the Browns would still find a way to lose.

Both are possible.

If I had to guess, they are signing him to a new 1 year contract to let him go to training camp.

Could just be foundation news.

Baker Mayfield basically just said goodbye to Cleveland

 

[YankeeVol]

He gone. If not, it’s gonna be awkward AF

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I thought Watson declined Cleveland.

 

[n_huffhines]

I thought Watson declined Cleveland.

I hope so

Hope he can sell his house. It’s in a niche market. Going to miss him showing it off on TV.

I do not understand why the Titans would throw in that stupid caveat (two point conversion). It's like the NFL has been too embarrassed to admit the whole "first team to score wins" thing is stupid in a sport where possession is determined by a coin flip, so we keep seeing these moronic work arounds that still dramatically benefit the team who wins the toss.

Just give both teams equal possessions or we will always have this debate.

Jeez Titans, why not add "Unless the first team scores a TD and 2 members of the team can do a back flip and both land on their right foot at the same time."

I can't remember where I heard this idea, but somebody said OT rules should be:

- Start at the 50-yard line, no kickoff
- No clock, no turnover on downs, no field goals, how many downs does it take you to score?
- Your opponent gets the ball and has to score in fewer downs than it took you.
- If they fail, you win. If they succeed, you get a chance to do it in fewer downs than they did.
- Repeat until the offensive team can't do it in fewer plays.
