Pats, Bucs Dominate Day 1 of Free Agency
The very best NFL teams play and conduct their business with a pressing sense of urgency.
Is it any surprise that 1st day of FA is dominated by Belichick & Brady? The irony for Cards fans is that unlike Bucs w/ Shaq Barrett, Cards have no interest in re-signing their top FA (Haason) heading into his prime and that the first w/ Card ties to sign today was Rudy Ford.

It’s not just the Pats and Bucs sense of urgency that gets them over the top, it’s knowing precisely what it takes to sign players and to keep key core players in the fold.
State of the NFC North
The NFC North winds are blowing this winter, and big changes are coming. perhaps more than any other year
Quarterback Changes
It’s not out of the realm of possibilities that all four starting quarterbacks in the NFC North could be new starting next season, but much more likely is the prospect that the Vikings will face two new QBs in the division next season.
In Detroit, the Lions and Matthew Stafford have agreed to part ways after 12 seasons, sending Stafford to the Rams for Jared Goff, a 2022 & 2023 first round pick, and a 3rd round pick this year. Part of the draft compensation the Lions received for Stafford was undoubtedly for assuming Goff’s bloated contract, which locks them into roughly a $33.5 million cap hit in 2021 & 2022.
