Delivered again! The offseason is so exciting!
According to the official league time regulations, it has not been long since the deadline for the use of the privileged player tags - that is, each team must complete the final discussion for their non-selling players, either renewing the contract or labeling to prevent transactions. The team managers have all started to move, so in the last few days, they have renewed the contract one after another.
Dazzling!
Thick and heavy!
First, Tom Brady, the leader of the New England Patriots, officially announced that he had left the team and was looking for a new start!
In fact, as early as last year's interview, Brady said, "I still have a lot to prove", which vaguely implies that something may happen in the future; and the attitude of the New England Patriots management is worthy of careful consideration, but even so, it was still surprising that Brady chose to turn around and leave in the end.
This is undoubtedly the most important news this year's offseason.
Then, just a few hours later, Brady officially announced his joining the Tampa Bay Pirates! Now, the South District of the National League will be lively next year, the Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans Saints, the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Pirates!
The current coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is former Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians who returned after a year of rest last year. He still brought something, especially the Pirates' catch group is worth looking forward to.
So, Jamie Winston, the leading quarterback of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was embarrassed. The 2015 No. 1 pick has always been a roller coaster, not the kind of roller coaster that can bring victory. Similarly, Marcus Mariota, the second pick in 2015, was abandoned by the Tennessee Titans and traded to the Las Vegas Raiders (the Raiders have moved from Orland to Las Vegas this year). Brother in trouble.
Secondly, in addition to Brady, other players' transfers and contract renewals also have many highlights, and you can see many familiar faces just at the quarterback position.
For example, San Diego Lightning quarterback "Big River" Philip Rivers turned around and left. In the 2004 draft, the three quarterbacks selected in the first round were hailed as the golden generation, New York Giants' Little Manning, Pittsburgh Steelers' Big Ben, and San Diego Lightning's Big River. Now that Little Manning retired, Big Ben was reimbursed due to injury last year, Big Ben was unfortunately transferred. Compared with the No. 1 pick and No. 2 in 2015, these three troikas are the absolute backbone of the league in the past fifteen years.
Dahe currently joins the Indianapolis Pony, which is also an unexpected highlight - can this be regarded as an indirect succession of Big Manning; and Dahe joined San Diego, which was forced to leave due to injury.
By the way, Brees and the New Orleans Saints renewed their contract for two years.
For example, the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings both renewed their contracts with their quarterbacks, but the latter's Cousins renewed their contracts for two years, while the former's Prescott was used as the exclusive privilege label.
Prescott has been seeking a quarterback contract that sets a new record, but his performance in the 2019 season did not meet expectations, so the negotiations were rigged for a year, but in the end they were unable to negotiate, ending with the exclusive privilege label (that is, other teams are not allowed to negotiate a contract with him).
The exclusive privilege tag is signed based on the average salary of the highest five players in the same position, so Prescott received $33 million in salary. By the way, in contrast, Brady's new contract is 30 million per year, while Brees is 25 million per year.
Finally, the Carolina Panthers allowed regular season MVP Cam Newton to seek a transfer in the 2015 season.
As an important opponent of Bambi's "King of the Bay Area", many book friends should remember this character.
In reality, Newton was very distressed last year. He played for a while but could not win the ball. His starting game also lost many games across the season - it seemed that it was eight games or several games. Later, due to injury, the Panthers became a substitute quarterback and then began to win. If it weren't for losing too much before, he could even compete for a playoff spot. This also made Newton's position awkward.
Now, Carolina has officially agreed to Newton's request for a transfer, and I don't know where he will go to.
But if so, it is not exciting enough.
Shortly after the Carolina Panthers announced that they agreed to Newton's transfer, Newton issued a public statement that he had never requested a transfer! But just a few hours later, the Carolina Panthers officially announced that they had signed a replacement quarterback Teddy Braggy Waters of the New Orleans Saints and would be the starting quarterback.
Now, the situation becomes subtle.
It is estimated that the Carolina Panthers' quarterback drama will continue for a while in the next few days.
By the way, the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in the East of the United Nations are recruiting soldiers, while the New England Patriots have not made much move at the moment; then, the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Pirates in the South of the United Nations are also making frequent moves.
