Imagine, for a moment, a world in which is not playing football in New England. I know, some people simply cannot get their head around the proposition, but it is entirely po sible in 2020.Consider what the might look like with someone else playing quarterback for the . Because I a sure you, in a private moment or two, Brady has already done the same himself. With the GOAT about to embrace free agency for the first time in his storied, almost two-decade career, and ready to engage with other teams and at least entertain an option outside of Foxboro, it's not unrealistic to at least ponder a football landscape with him outside of the only franchise he has ever known.The ripples caused by Brady splashing down in another city would be immense. If Bill Walton Jersey the man who many consider to be the best to ever do it changes addre ses this offseason, the reverberations would be felt league-wide. It would impact the rest of free agency, the trade market and the draft. It would be the biggest move in what has long shaped up to be one of the wildest quarterback markets of all time (as we began documenting midseason in this space), and would dominate the winter and spring headlines well after the Lombardi Trophy was handed out. In the end, after flirting with other franchises and letting owners recruit and woo him, Brady just might return to the only partner he's ever had, the love of his football life, the place where he already rewrote the record books. But at this point, with the NFL league year still two months from formally opening, and with Brady making it fairly clear he won't be doing any deals with the Patriots that preclude him from dabbling in free agency, it's worth at least toying with the trickle down impact of what Brady being outside of New England could mean.So I went ahead and did just that. I called a few execs and agents, started connecting some dots, and went ahead and took a shot at where Brady could actually land, and what that would mean for every other quarterback room in the NFL. Obviously, for Anfernee Simons Jersey much of the NFL, with a set and established starter for 2020, it means quite little, but I went ahead and predicted the starting QB for all 32 teams for next season from those most impacted by Brady switching teams, to those not at all and took my best early gue s and how it might all unfold.The Brady Effect Immediate Impact (5 teams) Tom Brady. I've long heard this spot would hold unique appeal with Brady and have done significant reporting on it since. His trainers and infrastructure are already in SoCal, his family would be a very short private plane ride away, he enjoyed living in Malibu before, holds off-season workouts at USC. He'd be in Hollywood, where a second career as a producer or media mogul of some sort likely awaits and his buddies Matt Damon and Ben Affleck make power moves. He'd be in the perfect spot to market his TB12 brand. It would be huge for the fight to make football really matter in LA. The NFL office would be doing private cartwheels. Stan Kroenke, who is building that $4B stadium in Inglewood, would be overjoyed. If Brady does actually leave New England, this would be top of his list from everything I gather (and that list would not be very long). Could the Chargers close a move of this magnitude? Perhaps we'll find out, as either way it's looked for a while that is on the way out. Heck, they could draft a Justin Herbert and have him sit behind Brady for two years. Speaking of which Philip Rivers. I hear that Bruce Arians is quite intrigued by Rivers. He hears great things about him from his old pal Ken Whisenhunt, who used to coach Rivers, and the veteran would come much cheaper than what the much younger would like to command. Arians prefers veterans and this would be akin to when he got in Arizona. BA is year-to-year Caleb Swanigan Jersey at this point and breaking in a rookie QB is le s than ideal. This brings Rivers way closer to his Alabama roots and he's already moving to Florida. Yeah, he turns the ball over a ton, like Winston, but has a Hall of Fame type resume. As for Jameis Jameis Winston. Jon Gruden loves to gamble. He likes , but isn't sure of high-end upside. He wants someone who is more willing to sling it downfield and make big plays. Winston just kinda looks like a Raiders QB, no? What a perfect fit for Vegas. Could you get him on a 2-3 year deal, kinda like a bridge situation, and also draft someone like Jordan Love? Probably. Gruden loves Jusuf Nurkic Jersey a challenge and coaxing the picks out of Winston certainly qualifies. This way he doesn't mortgage his first round picks to move up for Tua or Burrow, gets a young starter, and can keep drafting weapons on offense. Derek Carr. Owner Dan Snyder loves first round pick , but new coach Ron Rivera, who has extensive power, has already publicly hedged his bets. Rivera's first hire, defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, is a champion of Carr's and they went to the playoffs together with Carr an MVP candidate. Yes, is still costing $19M, but Snyder could restructure Carr's deal easily to bring his 2020 cap hit down to like $7M and it's a long shot Smith ever plays again. Carr's contract is cheap enough to flip again down the road if need be. New England Patriots . Still a young pup in his mid-20s, but has gone through life-changing injuries and cleared major hurdles. Outstanding kid with a first-round pedigree and abundant upside. Protects the football. Would have a great defense behind him. You need someone with high potential to replace Brady, Bill Belichick wouldn't want a full rebuild, and they pick too low to get a sure-thing QB in the draft.Other Teams Making Moves, Or At Least Thinking About It (11 teams) Joe Burrow. Someone might blow them away with an offer for the first-overall pick, but they love this kid already, will fall more in love with him in the pre-draft proce s and ownership badly wants a young, cheap potential star QB to build around. . I figure is maybe handed the starting job for Week 1, with so many jobs on the line for mistakenly drafting him too high in the first place, with they need someone to push him. Dalton would make a lot of sense. New coordinator Bill Lazor working with him in Cincy, knows the offense inside out, is cheap enough on a one-year deal. Trading for him would make a ton of sense. Dalton loved playing for him, is close with Lazor, is a great example for the youngster and the Bears know they need to win more games. Reminds Amine Jersey me of Marcus Mariota/Ryan Tannehill from a year ago. Jacoby Bri sett/Marcus Mariota. Indy would like to upgrade here, but Bri sett is set to make $16M and I couldn't find a good trade for him in this exercise. New England drafted him but I believe will aim bigger if Brady leaves. In that case, signing Mariota to push him wouldn't be a bad ide
