I think we would need to way overpay for Brady due to the state income tax here vs Tampa Bay. /agreed
There is an article on NFL.com saying Chargers likely out of the running... That would be a good reason why lol.
If Brady is going to Tampa, would Winston be worth a look? (He of the 30 interceptions last year, but is young and I think mobile?)

Dolphins in the Brady sweepstakes now... I just don't see it though, they can grab anyone outside of Burrow. Cam Newton also looking for a trade... I'd still take Cam Newton for a 3rd. I just do not see the interest in Fig......

Thank God Brady was smart enough to stay away from the Bolts...... yep. signed with the bucks. On Tuesday, Tom Brady announced publicly he was leaving the New England Patriots. And he's leaving them to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported Brady is expected to sign with the Bucs. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the sides have agreed in principle on a deal worth around $30 million annually. It's the end of an era. The 42-year-old Brady won six titles (in nine Super Bowl trips), four Super Bowl MVPs and three league MVPs, and he was a 14-time Pro Bowler during his time in New England. He also led the Patriots to a whopping 17 AFC East titles and 17 playoff berths.

I am so torn and have so many opinions on everything that has gone down:
1. If the Bolts truly made an offer for Brady it is a slap in the face to Rivers (and fans), basically saying no more Rivers but our replacement is a Rivers esque QB who is a lesser, declining, older, more expensive, and hated version to sell more tickets to whom? opposing fans? because I would have stopped going along with other fans in my opinion. 2. I would love to of seen Rivers with this new O Line.
3. I hope Rivers wanted out instead of Chargers not wanting him, I hope the Chargers didn't offer Brady a contract but it sounds like they did.
4. Next QB I'm so unsure and torn on. Part of me wants it to be Stick but that won't work for a while. Part of me says maybe Andy Dalton?? Jameis since he got Lasik surgery and will throw zero picks now that he can see? I'd personally like to get Alex Smith for like a 7th rounder since his numbers in K.C. were the same as Mahommes numbers in K.C. I don't want to draft a QB unless it is the next sure thing, like the next Manning, there are no sure things this year and the top ones will either be gone or not worth trading up for. I hope LB Simmons is there at 6.
I'd roll with Alex Smith and JJ & EK at RB's, hopefully 6th round 2018 pick Dylan Cantrell WR starts, get a good LT and DT and that team seems the most solid with the amount of money we could spend.

Cam and Jameis seem to be the leftover options for a veteran QB.
Plenty of strengths and weaknesses to each related to their on the field talent.
But being veterans they will also come at a price almost definitely more than we fans think they're worth.
So for the money, is Tyrod a better value after all???
Starting Tyrod wouldn't preclude us from drafting a QB this year (or next) with either a first round or mid round rookie. Or even a free agent next year.

I like and agree with almost everything you posted, from #1 to the early part of #4. I'm not a big fan of Alex Smith, especially after his awful injury. I don't hate Dalton or Winston but I'm against adding another older QB altogether. I'd rather not use our #6 pick on a QB but if Tua falls it may be worth it (and I think the Chargers will actually draft Herbert at #6 come April.) But even Dylan Cantrell's mom has stopped believing he'll be back in the NFL again.

The chase of Brady seems more like a PR stunt of the Spanos's and not TT's idea. Now that wet dream is passed TT can get on with what he should have been doing from the start.
Looking at Cap Management it seems clear that they intend now to go with the cheaper option of starting the season with Taylor after drafting a young cost controlled QB and not spending on an older QB be it Dalton, Winston or Newton. With Buckner getting 21 mil expect Bosa to start in the 23-25 range so we need to budget that in to future cap
