Is a Reggie White-style free agency tour coming for Tom Brady?

 

Quote

...With so many available veteran quarterbacks in the coming free-agency cycle, Brady could logjam the entire process if he decides that he’s going to take his wife and one or more kids to L.A., Nashville, Miami, Dallas (I root for chaos), New York (if that’s what this means), Indianapolis, Denver, Las Vegas, Chicago, Charlotte, Tampa Bay, and/or San Francisco (again, chaos) for face-to-face meetings aimed at bigger-than-money questions like offensive philosophy, personnel, and overall feel and fit...

This is obviously fake. Brady isn't a free agent until the new league year starts, if the Colts flew him in for a visit now it would be tampering, and they would deserve whatever punishment the NFL hits them with. 

 

I think Bob Kraft bought a replica Colts jet and flew in a Brady look-a-like just to mess with us.  :)

They can't talk about anything regarding contracts until free agency begins. Jim is probably going to wine and dine him and sell him on the prospects of playing here

In addition, a club (other than the player’s current club) may not discuss or make any travel arrangements with a prospective Unrestricted Free Agent, his certified agent, or anyone else associated with the player until the expiration of the player’s contract at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the first day of the new League Year.

   For 20 years, I’ve thought of Brady being sacked as one of the most fulfilling plays in the NFL. 
    If he ends up here, I’m sure I’ll get used to him being a Colts and...(gulp) actually rooting for him but it goes against every fiber of my being.

It's just a normal reaction for me.  Anytime the Pats or Cowboys lose it's a good football day!  And Brady is the Pats.

Aside from all this, whether true or not, just can’t see him wanting to come here and take Jacoby’s spot.

I can see him wanting to come here and take Manning's old job.  He had a very healthy friendship with Manning, and is just that competitive.

 

This is a good team that is well suited to what a guy like Brady can do.  Mutual interest is reasonable.

Be careful Chris.  Remember the last time you thought you had a Patriot signed and he left you holding the bag and he stayed with them.  "The rivalry is back on".

The rivalry is pretty one way over the last decade.  We hate them, they don't give a damn because literally everyone hates them

 

 

Anyway, the fact of the matter is that McDaniels was absolutely right to bail on us.  Irsay and Ballard were leading him on with promises of a healthy Luck, which turned out to be a complete whopper.  McD knows quarterbacks and he'd figure that out pretty fast, unfortunately for Irsay McD had time to bail out and go back to his comfortable New England job rather than wreck his career for Brissett.

 

Next time make sure you get ink on a sheet before giving a guy a look behind the curtain.

it makes sense for both him and the team.  i do think it will be hard for him and his family to get over all the trash we talked after deflategate.  if you look around the fans are not exactly supporting the idea now either 

 

Brady himself can probably handle the trolling but its a tough sell for his wife and kids.  he will have other options too

 

would be funny to hear Jim irsays thoughts on this

You're giving the fans more credit for long term memory than they actually deserve.  Brady starts winning us games then he's now ours,, and other than a few holdouts it'll stay that way until the moment it suddenly isn't.

 

As for the holdouts, every fanbase has its curmudgeons and this one is no different.  If we do sign Brady and he wins here, those will be the only people that give a damn about the past.

After the Superbowl?  I wouldn't say so.  

 

Anyway, the Brady-to-Indy rumors just picked up a lot of heat regardless of what this was or wasn't

1) it would be 1000% tampering  He wasn’t on the damn plane. 

 

2) the Brady to Indy rumors have no more steam today than they did  3 days ago.

I hope it's not true. I've been a Colts fan since I was about 9 or 10 years old. I rooted for my team to win even when painter and orlovsky were trying to play QB. But I don't know if I could root for my team with Tom on it. I will be more upset than when Andrew retired or when we released Peyton. I like Ballard and have never wanted him gone, I don't think I've ever said a negative thing about him on here.  But if he does sign Tom, I hope it fails so hard that he is fired mid-season.

We have enough cap space left to sign him and never let him play. Keep him inactive the whole season:D

Ya, lets hire him for a bunch of money, then not make him work but still pay him.  That will show him.  Take that Tom!!

I'll up that comment.

 

"I'd rather Peyton retire as a Bronco, than to have Brady become a Colt".

 

Take that you Brady lickers.

    • Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete of all-time, if anyone thinks otherwise, I want what they are drinking . He was a great NFL football player/RB, good Pro baseball player. Could bench press 450 pounds down to chest and up once and run a 40 in 4.1.
    • He is and he is overrated. He is a great player but I could even argue his teammate Brown is better. Let me say this, I know I come off as a Tatum hater, I really am not. He just never performs in the playoffs like a #1 option. Brown won the MVP for example. Take Brown off that team and the Mavs would have definitely beat them then. Tatum is on a loaded team, they have Brown, Porzingis, White, Holiday, and Horford.    Off the top of my head, players that are better than Tatum are: Joker, Luka, Giannis, Embiid, Edwards, SGA, and even Brown - so he isn't top 7. I would even take Brunson and Haliburton over him - they have more responsibility playing PG and are young as well. I have Tatum top 10 - he is slightly better than Butler and Mitchell, Tatum is great but shaky at times, he cracks my top 10 because LeBron, Curry, and Durant are old and Leonard is always injured. Without Haliburton, the Pacers would be a .500 team. Without Brunson so would the Knicks. Without Tatum, Boston would still win 55 games with Brown/Porzingis/Holiday/White/Horford, they could have won around 70 this past season but quit playing the last 2 weeks.
    • Fever are now in 7th, 8 teams make the playoffs. I think they will get in. Clark is great already, I figured she would be. Screw her critics! 
    • The whole division stinks except for the Brewers and Cards. Cubs have played like doo doo and are only 1 game out of 3rd place  .
    • This is another reason why we should enjoy our time here and not bicker with friends and family. A life can be gone in a split-second no matter how big and strong anyone is. This is truly sad, and the kid had everything. RIP.   Word of advice, if you are going to drink alcohol, that is fine but DONT DRIVE!
