OT: The Other Sports Thread Part X - MLB back?

[Le Tricolore]

Brady sucks anyway. Whoever gets him will have a horrible contract, so at least there's that.

 

[GoodKiwi]

According to some NFL insiders the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to announce Brady signing tomorrow.

Some kind of player/retirement deal/option?

According to some NFL insiders the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to announce Brady signing tomorrow.

Expected to be 30M/year - Not clear how many years.

Report: Tom Brady Expected to Sign Contract with Buccaneers Worth $30M Per Year

Not bad for the soon to be 43-years young GOAT.

It appears the Covid19 virus has also stripped the Patriots of a large portion of it's fan base

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Brady with Tampa, Rivers with the Colts, this is all gonna look very weird . It'll take some time to get used to.

it's going to be real interesting to see what MLB does about the draft as the NCAA season is canceled before it even started, so either they will have to draft players based off last year or there's talk they might skip the draft and international signing period to save money on the lost rev from this season.

Gonna have to buy a new jersey

I heard it somewhere yesterday that if you're a senior and participate in spring (baseball, softball, etc.) sports, NCAA is going to allow you to repeat your senior year if you so wish.

This does present a lot of logistical issues though, I don't know how feasible it would be down the line if a lot of people go that route. That said, it might be the best solution available for the schools and the athletes.

The season would start June 7th in Baku and then the next weekend the F1 circus would be... in Montreal!

I... wouldn't count on that too much though for obvious reasons

 

[GoodKiwi]

The Rams released Gurley.

Man, outside of Haynesworth, has there ever been a worse NFL contract from the very moment it was signed?

Culpepper and Deangelo Hall also..

So Brady gets 50M guaranteed over two years, plus 9M in incentives.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

That sure is a lot for a 40 year old QB. They're putting a lot of fate in him not breaking down physically .

Means nothing if the guarantees are something else.

The odds are, this is a huge mistake, it almost never works out for the player/team.
That being said, if there is one guy, who could buck that trend, it's Brady.

If he can make the Bucs a good team, man they are gonna be butt-hurt in New England.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

'' Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that it is a two-year deal worth $50 million that is all guaranteed. It also includes another $9 million in incentives -- $4.5 million in incentives per year -- and the contract prohibits tags and trades, per sources.''

 

[GoodKiwi]

As @Pompeius Magnus stated above the 50M is fully guaranteed. Brady is going to get that money no matter what.

A 43 year old (by the time next season begins) QB you mean.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

It's the new trend since 2016-ish, most of the money is garanteed on the big contracts now. The players have finally caught on to it.

Yeah, when all of Kirk Cousins' contract is fully guaranteed you know it's a trend.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Looking more and more likely that Winston won't be able to land a starting QB job this off-season.

 

[montreal]

for the sports junkies it sounds like the KBL will be starting back up soon, I don't care for basketball but if the KBO isn't too far behind I might check it out.
