Brady to the 49ers in 2020 can’t happen, can it?
When trying to identify potential fits for Tom Brady in 2020 if, as some think, he’s destined to leave the Patriots, I left out one team that maybe should have been included. The 49ers.

If Tom Brady leaves the Patriots, where would he go?
Ever since the Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady agreed to a contract extension that isn’t really a contract extension and Brady put his house in Boston up for sale, some have been speculating that Brady won’t be back in New England next year.

Tom Brady will keep throwing it to Jakobi Myers, if he’s the open guy
Teams that aren’t the Patriots often get caught up in the urgency to throw the ball to a specific receiver.

Sam Darnold was seeing dead people. Believe it or not, it wasn’t just the Jets offense.

With the Patriots leading 33-0 in the fourth quarter on Monday night, they took a delay of game penalty with their punt team on the field.
