With temps projected to be in the mid-50s this weekend, I’m tempted to whip up a cookout playlist and spend some time on the patio. And considering how the Bears have a knack for getting deals done while I’m cooking, maybe this is all we need to get Chicago’s football team to push a deal for a QB across the finish line. Anybody hungry?
• The day began with Cam Newton getting a new deal with the Patriots. Shortly after that, Tom Brady, whom Newton replaced in New England, had some contract shenanigans of his own:
The Tom-Brady extension saves the Buccaneers $19 million against the cap this year, per sources. The additional voidable years are there to defray the cost. It was another effort from Brady to keep as much of the team together as possible. https://t.co/65qAGO5Px7
