Well, that happened. Tom Brady blows the door on Sunday night and returns to the Buccaneers in the 23rd NFL season after refusing to close the door a few weeks after his retirement was announced due to a possible comeback. Suddenly revealed that.Already, Bucks executives, including Bruce Arians and Jason Licht General Manager Celebrate Brady’s return home As fuel for “another championship run”. Brady himself, on the other hand, promises to handle the “unfinished business” even though he already owns seven Super Bowl titles.
Brady has nothing more to prove, but who cares if he needs to be motivated as a way to play his favorite games? At the age of 44, he was literally at the top of the Hall of Fame game and probably just finished the best season of his career.It wasn’t good football The reason why he cuts it in the first place. With decent protection, he offers top five pass productions at worst, which is enough to keep Buccane in the title conversation (and keeps pushing his status to the highest ever).
Speaking of boosting Bacchus, Brady’s return certainly confirms that he is the biggest story of the 2022 NFL.But the fact that he’s back in the field probably makes more sense others Than him. Consider two major spillover effects of the Ageless TB12 getting out of retirement and returning to the bottom of the center.
Buccaneers are back at the top
Is it a coincidence that Brady announced his return the day before the start of the NFL’s legal tampering period? perhaps. It may not be. In any case, Tampa Bay’s largest free agent would otherwise have entered the market without clues about the team’s QB plan after Brady. Now they have a very big reason to consider discounts and stick for teams in tight financial situations. Some people, like Carlton Davis in the cornerback, bolt in regardless of the monster’s payday. But don’t think for a second that others, such as Ryan Jensen at the center, Rob Gronkowski at the tight end, and Jason Pierre-Paul at Passrusher, won’t think about re-signing for a long time.
In the big picture, thanks to Brady’s return, Bucks is back in the playoffs from a potential reconstruction. Not all QBs (even good QBs) can make a big difference in expectations. With few caprooms, Tampa Bay may have settled on a middle-class free agent to compete with Brian Gabert and Kyle Trask in QB. Even a big swing for a professional bowler like Derek Carr wouldn’t have guaranteed a title battle. For Brady, the Super Bowl Hunt is innate. His influence is unmatched, not to mention his somehow rising arm talent. And his backing cast cast only the numbers to be healthy after the injury in 2021.
The NFC South is wide open, Sean Payton leaves a capped quarterback, the Falcons doubles the expensive Matt Ryan despite a perforated roster, and the Panthers franchise QB. I was desperately looking for it. Similarly, shake the porous attack line. now? Bucces is the easiest to lose. And it doesn’t take into account the rest of the NFC where the Rams may have a hard time maintaining the Super Bowl lineup, the Packers could go down to the last hurray with Aaron Rodgers, the Cowboys Shuffled parts to save money, 49ers are preparing to pass the baton at QB, and Seahawks just shipped Russell Wilson. AFC has many young stars in the center. NFC is Brady’s as needed.
QB market is in flux
Brady’s return hasn’t just changed NFC’s power dynamics. It also disrupted the entire 2022 QB market. Again, Buccane may have settled for a temporary signaler with Arian lamenting the lack of affordable big names, but they are sexual. Suspected of illegal activity. Well, the same night Brady came back, the Vikings expanded Kirk Cousins, and the day after the Falcons rebuilt Matt Ryan, the sudden Watson market all shrank, but probably Browns, Eagles, Panthers, Saints, Seahawks fight for his service.
In addition to Watson, all the other famous possibilities of Bucks are now off the table: Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston and more. It may still be available (obviously some are more exciting than others). It’s still possible that Tampa Bay will add quarterbacks to the draft, but it seems likely that they will completely punt that position.Pulling back Brady means you All-in In 2022, the future is at a loss, and if Brady retires (again) in 2023, Arians could hang it up and leave the long-term quarterback decision to the next staff member.
Watson feels like the last big QB domino collapses before the team bridges the options and sticks to the draft, but Brady’s sudden change of mind makes the big picture clear and confusing. On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, Watson’s market is now below suitors, perhaps bringing us closer to another blockbuster move. On the other hand, it may have been willing to mortgage the future for the 2022 QB upgrade, but now regains the new fears of the team around NFC facing the prospect of passing Brady again. maybe.No more true With Brady calculated to be at least one of the 32 starters, at least joining the free agent, who knows how Bucks’ own off-season approach (now definitely aggressive) will affect the competition? Can be guessed.
