Tom Brady Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders are poised to pursue New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady if he doesn't re-sign with the Patriots before free agency begins, according to league sources. But it's uncertain if the Raiders can lure Brady to Las Vegas. The Patriots are expected to want a decision to be made well before the free-agent signing period begins on March 18, but Brady is "open-minded" on the free-agent process and other teams are expected to explore signing him. League sources believe that Raiders head coach Jon Gruden wants Brady on his team. Brady would have a strong offensive line in front of him and second-year back Josh Jacobs in the backfield, as well as receivers Darren Waller, Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow. Incumbent QB Derek Carr had career highs in passing yards (4,054), yards per attempt (7.9) and completion percentage (70.9) last year, but Gruden may be growing impatient with his signal-caller. If Brady were to go to Las Vegas, he'd have slightly better weapons than he did in New England last year.

The New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady haven't made any progress in contract talks, according to sources. The Patriots will absorb a $13.5 million salary cap charge if Brady is not on the roster when the 2020 league year begins on March 18, so owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick are expected to push for substantial talks with Brady and his agents before that date. If Brady's contract is extended before March 18, it would lessen the dead money on the team's 2020 salary cap. But if Brady is committed to talking to other teams in free agency, it would put the Pats in a tough financial spot and decreases his chances of returning. Kraft wants Brady to return, but they'll need to put better weapons around him for Brady to improve his play over what we saw in 2019.

The Miami Dolphins are unlikely to strongly pursue New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who is set to become a free agent in March, according to one source. Were a team thats building, and I dont know why hed really want to come to the Dolphins. Hes been one of the fiercest competitors there is and were at the stage with the Dolphins trying to really build a team for the future, owner Stephen Ross said. Miami is interested in having Ryan Fitzpatrick lead the Dolphins under center while mentoring a draft prospect as the team continues to rebuild. If Brady leaves New England, he'll be looking for a team with a chance to compete for a title. The Dolphins are not that.
