Brady’s retiring him, so the Bucs are in the QB market now as speculated above
Edit: Well, Jax beat me to it

Uhhhh...... Tom Brady is calling people including the Buc's GM to tell him that he has NOT made a decision yet !!!
(This could just be TB12's attempt to control the narrative, but very interesting)

Wouldn’t it be funny if Brady was like “I was going to retire but some hack writers broke the story instead of me being able to. As a result I’m coming back for 2022.”
What would you say.....ya do here?

Brady thanked all kinds of people but I found this interesting:
https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/pat...gram-statementThe 44-year-old thanked several members of the Bucs organization in addition to his personal trainer/business partner Alex Guerrero, his agent, Don Yee, and his family, but not Patriots owner Robert Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick or any member of the New England organization.
How do you thank your coach of 2 yrs and not Belichick and the New England Patriots?

So we saw the end of two illustrious QB careers in Big Ben and Brady. Big shoes to fill. When I reflect back on all the great QBs I had the privilege to watch - I was either Bart or Johnny in those backyard games - up until the day they stepped off the field for the final time? ... it shows just how damn old I really am. I'm still having a hard time around the fact that it's been 50+ years since the Beatles broke up.
I am still uterrly amazed at how far the Bengals "jumped", from 2-14 two years ago, to a Super Bowl appearance (and I hope a win). Yes, Burrows deserves his share of the credit. But lets not forget the other vital pieces, such as drafting Chase, improving their receiving corp. The O-line was, again, an issue, and needs addressed. But yet, some how, Mixon was the NFL's 3rd leading rusher (1200+ yds).
And finally, Zach Taylor, and his entire coaching staff, the scheme/play calling came together.
But landing that franchise leading QB is a HUGE boost. And how many 1st round QBs have we seen over the years become subpar or busts? Sure, in some instances, it's almost a given with some coming out of college ... Elway, Manning, Luck, etc ... but Brady was a 6th rounder.
Just improve the O-line and protect this kid ... and make me proud to be an OHIOAN (for a change) by bringing home a Super Bowl title (LOL)
Bengals lead the series with the Rams 8-6-0

I’m honestly not as worried about the offensive line to where I think it needs improved through the draft anymore.
The Bengals have cap space and have shown a willingness to spend lately. With this Super Bowl run they can attract free agents who want a chance at a ring vs drafting and developing which takes time.
Draft needs to be best player available regardless of position and fill any other hole through free agency.
