The Diggs package from Buffalo looks so much better than the Hopkins package.

Brady is officially leaving the Patriots.

Chargers, Colts, Buccaneers? Any dark horses?

Ugh. You only have to see how Tannehill and the Titans took off after replacing Mariota. I just don't think he's a very good passer and if he ends up as the starter the 2020 season is not going to be memorable for LV fans.

Gotta think it's the Bucs, probably the most money (factoring in taxes) and the best offensive weapons.

Oh god that's awful. Some could look at the stats and think he's an elite receiver but he's not. He's got elite skills but he's soft and not an alpha. He always has a few big games where he accumulates a lot of his stats and disappears for stretches usually when the games are bigger.

Gase was garbage and once Tannehill left he looked like a competent starter. Maybe Mariota will do the same under Gruden. Though I definitely thought the Raiders would be looking to draft a QB though if they wanted someone to challenge Carr.

I think he's in obvious decline and no longer elite but with those receivers he may be able to have one more good season and that team will look a lot better with a QB that doesn't throw 2 INT's a game.

I've never been a fan of Mariota. The Titans could never open up their offense with Mariota as he doesn't see the field well and holds on to the ball too long. He's got better scrambling ability than Carr but I think he's a downgrade.

Brady's parting gift: He'll count $13.5 million against the Patriots' salary cap this year

I wonder if Elway doesnt take a run at Brady....he is a huge upgrade on Flacco even with diminishing abilities.

Regardless where Brady ends up, this is the first domino to fall that will set off the QB market. Pats gotta find a QB now, if he does go to Indy wouldn't shock me to see them bring back Brissett. The fun really starts now.

I'm assuming they're going to stick with Lock rather than sign Brady.

The Hopkins package? You could argue the Texans are worse off with what they acquired, without even factoring in that Hopkins was included in the trade.

It’s beyond belief really.

Pretty happy with the dolphins moves yesterday. If they can figure out the QB and OL spots in the draft, they'll be much improved this year.

Bucs for the best chance of winning, Chargers if he is mostly about promoting his brand.

Colts are signing Philip Rivers. Brees re-signs with the Saints.

I’d bet a fair amount that he’s going to the Bucs.

Panthers have given Cam Newton permission to seek a trade. QB market is crazy this year.
