Brady can still play the quarterback position at a solid level. But if he is to move to a new organization, the team that signs him is not getting the quarterback he was a few seasons ago. While it is true that the Patriots struggled to put weapons around him last season, despite their best efforts, Brady did see a dramatic drop in his production in 2019. Plus, he turns 43 in August, and we are in uncharted waters with Brady at this point in his career.
Now, perhaps recent reports are true and the free agency market for Brady is not as strong as it has been made out to be over the past few weeks. But if a team takes the plunge and signs Brady to a short-term, but big-dollar deal when free agency starts, there are some significant risks at play. (Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY Sports)
